Friday Night Lights

No not high school football but watching the stars on the trampoline. I mowed the lawn tonight and kept an eye on the kids as they played on the tramp while Sabrina worked in her office. As I was finishing up around 7:30 PM I thought how cool it would be to get on the tramp and see if they would watch the sky turn dark and stars show up with me. THEY DID! It was a blast. We spotted the first star at about 7:40 PM at about dusk. As it grew darker the kids were amazed at the stars popping up. Makalah laid on my chest nearly the entire time (how can you go wrong with that? My little care bear cuddling on a cool night). Mariah couldn't stop asking if "bad guy's" could get us in the back yard. And Jonah couldn't stop asking if he could sleep out there. To be honest I didn't think he would do it. The pictures below show otherwise. He got all bundled up (getting down in 40's here now overnight) and got the sleeping bag and a flashlight and hit the tramp. He fell asleep in about 20 minutes. These pictures are great. It was just a cool time with the fam tonight. Mariah was freakin' when she went to bed. Still thinking bad guys were gonna get her brother. I should hide Jonah and tell her in the morning that they did. HA! Now that would be funny.
