It was very hot outside, and our air conditioner didn't seem to be keeping up, so we decided to enjoy the cool night air and sleep outside. It was great. The kids slept very soundly, and enjoyed their time looking at the stars. I assumed they would all be up with the sun, but they slept as late as they usually do, 7:00 am. It was such a fun family experience. We will have to remember to do it every year. When we were kids, I don't remember ever sleeping on a soft surface, so the air mattresses are a bit of an upgrade. It made it nicer for us adults at least.
