We began the night with a hearty dinner of hot dogs and French fries. After showers, the boys set up their makeshift beds and settled in for viewing of the cinematic classic, Alvin & the Chipmunks, accompanied by the gourmet treat, popcorn and M&M's.
We had plans for Moonpie Ice Cream and maybe another movie, but it doesn't look like they are going to make it to nine o'clock.
I remember that about childhood -- simple delights and big dreams that drift between day and night.

Ha! Your post made me smile! Our boys even go so far as to set up a tent in their bedroom and still call it camping out. I really like the last line of your post - simple delight and big dreams - nice slice!
There was a line that stuck out to me in this passage. "I'm not sure what was so exciting about the change of venue" was a line that I felt to be very interesting. Do any of us know why a change of venue is exciting? Some people believe that a routine-like life style with no surprises, twists, or turns is just the ticket to a happy life. But in my opinion, those people may be happy, but I don't believe their life has been enriched or fulfilled. I think a change in venue adds to our perceptions and perspectives of life. It's something I definitely recommend for everyone. -Stephanie Rose
