This evening my family was celebrating the last days of summer with one of our friends.  We had a wonderful cookout in the backyard.  Our visit lasted long after the sun went down.  The kids thought that was great.  They set up camp in the driveway with some blankets, a lantern, and some popsicles. 
They found the Big Dipper, and the North Star.   They made wishes on every star they saw.  They had a simply marvelous time out there in the dark.
"Mommy can we stay out here all night?"
"Sorry kids, it's way past your bedtime - time to come in!"
"Awwwww!"
We'll have to do that again next Labor Day weekend.
