We’ve had another beautiful, hot, sunny day; and Rowen and I spent most of it outside playing and having fun.
Our fun didn’t include spending much time with Violet, since she was at Quarry Lake most of the day with Dillon, Jake, and Stephanie. Mom, Ethan, Ehlana, and I did get to talk with her for an hour or so around and during breakfast, but she was already on the road for Quarry Lake by the time that Alicia got to the house to start work. Maybe Rowen and I will get some play time with Violet tomorrow. Dillon, Jake, and Stephanie will all be back to work; so she might be available for some canoeing or swimming with us.
Our day wasn’t quite up to Quarry Lake-level fun, but Rowen and I did go for a long bike ride this morning; we went swimming several times; played at the park; and managed to still find time for two ice cream stops at the Emporium. Lunch was a picnic to go that we ate at the park, and since Violet was still out with her friends; Mom just went with bakery buns, assorted cold cuts, and salad sides for dinner.
With a game coming up this weekend, everyone on our team worked a little harder than usual during our practice, and then Rowen came home with me for a swim and ice cream cool-down break. Since Violet was away, we did a Magi lesson with Mom, Ethan, and Ehlana after that; and then Rowen went home while I helped Mom with getting the twins ready for bed.
Violet and Dillon got home in time for goodnight hugs and kisses with Ethan and Ehlana, but then they went over to his house for a couple of hours. Mom and I worked in the office for a while after they left, and then we both went up to bed at about eleven-thirty. I’ve been doing a little archive studying since then; mostly to go over the reading that went with tonight’s lesson, and to catch up on the latest archive entries that Uncle Adam wrote in our Magi Project journal.
Since I am supposed to be on summer vacation, I’m going to finish this up and get some sleep. Maybe I’m just out of ‘fun’ shape, but I’m more tired from playing all day than from any recent long school and late-night work marathons. The good news is that there are going to be a lot of fun days ahead for me to work on that with.
Anyway, that’s all the news for today, so...
