Tenting

The kids finally had their first experience sleeping in a tent in the backyard.  I'm a very fair-weather outdoors person, so I made them wait a few days until there was no chance of rain and it wasn't going to be stifling humid.  They had a great time hauling all kinds of stuff into the tent during the day.  We played outside until dusk and then watched the stars come out, as well as seeing the International Space Station fly directly overhead. 

Sleeping went better than I expected.  I think the kids were really worn out.  I slept awful, but it was worth it for them.  Lincoln was more cheerful in the morning than Emily was.
