Utah Day 2 Part 3

 Friday night when we returned there was a full scale sleep over going on.
17 of the 20 grandkids were partying it up!
In the end, Joseph lucked out with the couch in the main room with the girls and the other boys opted for the front room.
 One might think that when kids do not fall asleep until well after 11 and closer to 12 that they would sleep in some but not these crazy boys.  They came in to tell me they were up at 6 am. I tried to keep them calm and quiet by reading to them but the others were up and at it before too long. 
Lily did not want to sleep inside, she wanted to sleep outside. Peter being the outdoor loving man that he is was more than happy to oblige his daughter's wish. 
It had been sprinkling/raining (remember the canyon) so the trampoline was wet. No, she still wanted to sleep outside so we found a tarp.  They kept it folded in half and laid on the bottom part and pulled the top half over them. Peter says she slept soundly all night. Just as my mom and I finished with the little kids I heard huge thunder and lightning, I raced to the window but there was no movement.  They made it all night long and slept later than almost any of the kids in the house. 
Everyone was happy!
