I thought that Mom and Dad might have something planned for our play day, but they didn’t; and we all had a blast while pretty much just goofing off all afternoon and evening.
We mostly had even nicer weather than forecasted, except for a bit of rain that didn’t pass through town until after dinner. Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne spent most of the day with us too, and our adventures started with a barbeque lunch that Dad and Uncle Adam did most of the cooking for. After that, we all went over to the park, where we met up with Rowen and her parents and brother; walked the entire path; and then spent an hour at the playground. Dad and, Owen, and Uncle Adam were probably breaking some man-laws, but they didn’t watch any of the two NFL playoff matches; though they did occasionally check on the scores after we got home again from the park.
Our in-house afternoon fun included a snack break; more play time that revolved around entertaining Ethan and Ehlana; and some video gaming action that was mostly for Patrick’s benefit. Mom, Patricia, and Aunt Leanne decided that they didn’t want to cook dinner, and advised the rest of us that we were going to the early buffet at the Inn with just enough time for us to get ready to go out and do that. Miranda was happy to have the extra customers on a rare day when the dining room wasn’t completely full; and we loved doing our part to reduce the surplus food supply!
The last unplanned fun of the day was a movie night back at our house that Uncle Adam, Aunt Leanne, and the Emersons all came home with us for. Though the guys were slightly outnumbered, they picked a typical, no-think action flick that managed to keep most of us entertained for a couple of hours. Once the movie was over, it was time to say goodnight to our guests, and then I was sent up to my room while Mom and Dad took care of the bedtime routine with Ethan and Ehlana.
I’ve been soaking in my Jacuzzi since then while doing a little telekinetic computing, but I’m getting tired; and it’s time to wrap up both my bath and this journal entry. There may not be anything particularly exciting to write about today, but having a fun play day with my family and our friends makes all of the responsibilities I have worthwhile. Since I’m not only tired, but seriously wrinkly too; it’s time to wrap this up for another day.
