The Campout

Yesterday the girls camped out. We made foil dinners for lunch, cooked hotdogs on sticks for supper, and roasted marshmallows and made smores before bed. We included the boys for the food but only the girls slept out in the tent, Hannah, Sara, Alysa, me, and Jasmine. The girls told silly stories and giggled for a while before finally settling down for the night. (I pretended to be asleep and listened.) I struggled with a headache for the first part of the night but when "Mother Nature" called loud and clear, I headed into the house for the bathroom and some Advil. It was 2:30 am and the sky was full of stars. It was breathtaking! Part of me wanted to sit out and just stare up at the sky but the other part doesn't like being out in the dark alone, so I went back into the tent. I fell asleep listening to the crickets chirp.
