lovely summer nights

When I got out of the car tonight, it was the nicest, balmiest summer night.  I love nights like this.  It makes me feel like I live in a small mid-western farm or something.  The crickets are chirping like crazy, there was a big, green grasshopper on the wall, and the stars are out in all their glory.  Tomorrow we are going to set up the tent and camp outside.  Owen asked Loren yesterday if we could camp outside, so we can  have a campfire.  He's such a sweetie, of course we said yes.  We want to go "real" camping this summer so this will be a test run.  We've been camping with Owen, but Liam hasn't braved the great outdoors yet.  We have a new, big tent in which we should all fit, even Liam's travel bed.  I'll keep you all posted.
