Every summer after school got out, we'd set up a tent in the backyard. Every night, the boys would sleep out in the tent. Our bedrooms went nearly untouched. Sleeping out there was great for a few reasons. We never had to make our beds; just zip up a sleeping bag and you're done. It also served as a hangout place; we'd play board games and card games out in the tent, and we took my stereo out so we could have radio too.
I really enjoyed sleeping out there with Nick and Shawn. It was a great way for us to build a friendship with each other. When we had a sleepover, the friend would just sleep out with us. It was an awesome tradition.
(Incidentally, I still swear that we saw something really weird flying in the air one night when Jared was sleeping over in the tent. UFO? Who knows. But it definitely was flying, and definitely had lots of big lights underneath it, and it was definitely silent. Probably some secret military thing.)
