STOW AWAY

By the time 8:00 p.m. rolled around last night, people started to leave but it was still way too hot to go inside and get ready for bed. Instead we all ended up outside at Keri and Lisa's while the kids were playing in the street. Unlike back home in Southern California, the kids here are able to do so. Lisa and neighbor Erin their families are getting ready to go on a vacation to Colorado with Lisa's RV so all the kids had fun playing there too. Next thing we knew Mimi came out of the RV saying "Mama, where's my pillow and blanket?" Somehow she got the idea that she was going to go with them. She was quite saddened by the fact that she was not ;-( Mama told Lisa that she better start counting the number if kids on her trip (4 in all).

At 10:00 p.m. it was still in the 80's outside so we sat in our backyard swing and stargazed. Oh man! I have never seen so many as we did last night. Finally Mimi said she was tired and put herself to bed. Mama and papa followed not long after her.
