Sleeping on the Tramp (Sorta)

Enoch has waited all summer to sleep on the trampoline. He asked constantly. We finally consented, knowing that summer will be over soon and the warm weather will be gone.
We hauled the sleeping bags outside and got everything laid out and ready to go. Greg and I had already decided to let the kids fall asleep outside and then move them into their beds. We didn't even make it that far. Kate would not stay laying down. She was up and down, up and down, up and down, etc. She was having a great time and it didn't bother me too much until she jumped on my head. That ended her night outside.
Enoch was good to stay in his sleeping bag and listen to Greg reading Huggly and look at the stars. He wandered inside about 9:30 pm because the crickets were, "driving him nuts!!!!"
Gavin joined us for a little while and had more fun with the camera than anything else. (I laughed and laughed when I downloaded the pictures and saw this.)
I got Enoch and Kate settled and then got ready for bed. I then had to go out and wake up Greg and bring him inside. It was a beautiful night and the stars were fantastic. Maybe next time we'll plan on just looking at the stars.

Gavin, the scientist photographer. Maybe he'll work for National Geographic someday. Stay with the tramp tradition (even if Kate does jump on your head). It's making wonderful memories for all! I wish we'd done it on ours. Your family has all the fun!

Hahaha I can just imagine Kate dive-bombing your head. Ouch. Preston is good at that trick too. ("Wake up Mommy!!".....BOOM) I love looking at the stars!

Thanks again for the cupcakes by the way. They were yummy!
