There she goes...
Madeline was MAD that she couldn't go over to Grandpa/Grandma's (on her terms right then and there). So, she did what every other 6-year-old STRONG WILLED CHILD would do. She decided to walk (or stomp rather) to Grandpa/Grandma's. She knew the way. Well, luckily it ended rather quietly (although that is really the perception of each party involved!) and most importantly~safely.
She recovered rather quickly as the kids decided to camp out in the backyard.
A fire was built in the fire-pit, the tent was put up, the sleeping bags gathered (thank you Uncle Dan for the best Christmas presents EVER), pillows, and bug spray.
About 10pm these three kiddos gathered flashlights/books & turned in for the night. Rob joined them about midnight, and we all met again early Saturday morning. As for the writer; she stayed in her lovely air-conditioned house with her pillow & cat.
And that dear reader, was that!
