Rise and Shine?

As part of my friend Ellie's summer bucket list, a couple of my friends and I decided to have a sleepover, get minimal sleep, and wake up to watch the sun rise. So yesterday my friends Hannah, Jenna, Ellie, and I got together to have a board game night and then watch the sun rise in the morning. We had a ton of fun eating junk food and playing games like "Can You Name 5?" and "Rummikub" and some other game I don't know the name of. We're all pretty competitive, so it made for a fun and animated night. Around midnight, it started thunderstorming pretty bad, but we weren't too concerned. The plan was to go to bed at 2, wake up at 5, watch the sun rise, then go to breakfast. Well, we went to bed around 3 and woke up around 7. Oops. It was obvious we had missed the sun rise, but we decided that it was so cloudy that we wouldn't have been able to see it anyway. So we went to breakfast, and then I went home and slept for 4 more hours. So overall a great night. And because I'm me, I didn't take any pictures, so I hope you enjoyed this lame post about our lame attempts to be artsy sunrise watchers.
