Sleeping UnderThe Stars

Last night our family, Desiree and Brett's family, and two of John's kids spent the night out on our lawn. We slept under the stars, it was beautiful!

The boys were listening to a story told by one of the girls.

The boys slept on one side...
(Jared, Ramsey, Jacob, Russell, Shiloh)

and the girls slept on the other.
(Emily, Ashley, Aubrianne, Cassidy)

Brett, Desiree and Matthew

Me, Ryan and Ashley

Jared and Matthew relaxing in the chair--too cute!

All the kids, and Uncle Ryan, took turns telling stories with the flashlight up to their faces, to make it scary. After that we all took turns performing for everyone in the spotlight. There were songs, cartwheels, dancing and other talents shared. There were LOTS of laughs! It was fun, until it was time to actually sleep on the hard, lumpy ground! We must be getting too old for this--next time we'll use lots of padding for the adults!
