Last night I came home from visitng my sister and all of the kids (sans MC)were tucked in a sound asleep...in the tent outside. I had been over to my sister's to see the first episode of my summer guilty pleasure, So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD). We love that show!
I was so surprised to find the kids actually sleeping in the tent! I really didn't think they would do it. I talked with Lee for a minute though and we quickly decided it was wierd for them to be out there without an adult. I was mostly concerned about Luke and Laine. I was worried they might get up and need to go to the bathroom or have a bad dream (Laine had a bad dream on vacation about crabs!) Since Lee has a hurt back (leftover from the muscle spasms during his seizure) I needed to take one for the team.
It was neat to be out there with the kiddos, in the wide open. I read and prayed and tried to drift off into dreamland, but then I made a horrible discovery. The ground? Pretty darn hard.
Last fall when we camped out, Lee and I had an air matress (yes we are cheaters!)and even then I didn't sleep very well.
I made it restlessly through the night, but man am I tired today. Also my hips hurt. The kids slept like angels and were making plans for tonight. Sadly I had to nix that idea. Mommy is getting to old to sleep on the ground (sleep number 100) my sleep number is more like 35.

Glad you're back from your hiatus. I need to take a blog-reading hiatus. Beautiful beach pictures!
Where are you moving?!
I think we're going to hit the Atlanta zoo in a few weeks. If you're due for a visit, we'd love to meet up with you. Let me know. :)
And IRYC: We'll definitely have to come swim again (if you haven't moved).
