Warm Summer Night Fiasco

My oldest son, Kade, is always looking for an adventure. Last night he pitched a tent on top of the tramp then convinced all his sibling to sleep out there with him. I went to check on them around midnight and they were telling stories, giggling and loving each others company. For me, it was such a feel good moment and a memory I want to remember forever. This morning, the boys had to wake up bright and early. Collin was going to Wyoming with a friend's family and Kade had weight lifting for footall at the high school. An hour later, the girls came in hysterical and soaking wet. We'd forgotten one very important thing--the sprinklers go on around 7:30 a.m. and had gotten them good. What a terrible way to wake up! Brecken was so wet that at first she thought sleeping Sage (who was next to her) had wet the bed during the night. Steve and I tried to be sympathetic but couldn't help but laugh--really hard. What a funny memory. When Kade returned home, I ccaptured it on film as they were cleaning up the mess (Collin is still in Wyoming for the photo--darn it!).

Lesson learned--turn off the sprinklers before embarking on any overnight adventure outside!

I'm off for a week to my family's favorite place on earth--Lake Powell. Ahhh--I can hardly wait! No phones, dealines, expense reports!, lots of sun, great food and wonderful friends. Pure relaxation. I'll share my photos with you!

Have a great week yourself.

Sincerely,
Lisa B.
