Midnight Drives

When our kids were little we created a fun tradition. At about 9:00pm, right before bedtime on weekends we would go on "midnight drives." What is a midnight drive you ask? Well the midnight part of it was that it was dark and our kids just automatically thought it was midnight. The name stuck. Jeff takes the shell off the back of his truck and puts either a mattress or a bean bag in the back and we lay down and look at the stars while Jeff drives really slow through the neighborhood. We have picked up many friends to come with, but Grandma Gillespie was our special guest this time. It doesn't matter how fast my kids grow-up, this is still a favorite tradition. Grandma made it even more so. Thanks for the amazing memory mom!
