We have some friends in the ward, The Bradshaw's, very neat family. The other night we had them over for dinner and then a bit later they headed home. We realized they had forgotten their big bucket of Aggie ice cream so Steve and Seth hopped on the motorcycle to go deliver it. They didn't come back, and didn't come back so we went for a walk to find them. They were over talking with and playing. The kids had decided they needed a sleep over. Only problem is they and we at this point only have sleep overs with cousins. But no need to fear the kids reminded their mom that they were cousins. We, Veralyn and I, have a common Great, great maybe one more great Grandfather, Archibald Gardner (they place up north called Gardner Village--yeah that's our relative). Though we both come through a different wife I guess you can still say we are related.
So they started planning and though last week didn't work out we got it in on Wednesday. They were so excited to sleep in the tent trailer. Just as we were about to go get thing set up, there was a little cloud burst and a few lightening strikes so they decided to put a tent up downstairs and they were just as happy doing that (so was Steve and I cause we got to sleep in our own bed--we hadn't decided who was going to be out there with the kids).
The only problem was they were so excited and wound up (just like any sleepover) that we needed to get them calmed down so we put Superman on at 10:00 pm. And yes it is a 3 hour movie. We let it go for about half the movie then turned it off until morning. I was sure they would sleep in with going to bed about 11:45, but NO they were up at 6:00 to finish their movie. Those stinkers. But they all had such a great time. They are now planning another one because they weren't able to sleep in the tent trailer and they still want to. Oh well they are great kids and they all get along so well.
