for family night we made a fire pit in our backyard. amidst all the trees and rocks, it felt like our very own campground. the kids loved it and kept asking if we could do it again. even though we miss grass, our backyard has been ok and it has provided some summer fun. the kids made forts out of trees and rocks and i loved sleeping out under the stars during the meteor shower. there is something about us all in sleeping bags on the trampoline, looking up through the tall ponderosa pine trees, to the night sky and spotting a shooting star. not to mention how cozy it is when everyone sinks to the middle. i will miss the warm, summer nights.
