Live from Witch Falls, and Rowen’s back yard; this is Cassie and Rowen with today’s journal report!
Our Real Estate Rovers won again today against Connor’s Colonists. We were the home team, and didn’t need to play the bottom of the sixth inning; earning a fairly lop-sided, ten-to-four victory. We had Aunt Leanne, Violet, and Ehlana on our cheer squad today, so that helped, but I think that there were more tired out shoppers on the Colonists’ team than on ours. Maybe we should book shopping trips before all of our games!
We had our usual pos-game trip to the Emporium for ice cream, and then I went home to change and get to work in the back yard while Rowen needed to hit the shower before going over to the computer store. We both worked until mid-afternoon, and then were free to play again; though we started out by setting up our tent in Rowen’s back yard and filling it with supplies for what would probably end up being another two-night camping adventure. Conveniently, Ethan and Ehlana were doing a sleepover with Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne; leaving Mom and Dad on their own for the night. Let’s move on from that thought, shall we?
After setting up our camp, Rowen and I biked to the park, played there for a while, went for a swim, and then we headed back to our tent after stopping in for some goodnight hugs and kisses with Mom, Dad, Ethan, and Ehlana. By then, a second tent had been set up, and we didn’t need three guesses to know who the extra campers were going to be. The boys weren’t there right then, and Rowen and I ended up keeping busy while helping her parents with making dinner, and then cleaning up after. We stayed around our tent after that, except for one more swim in the river shortly before dark.
It wasn’t until after dark that Patrick and Scott started goofing around as usual with us, and being in the back yard with minimal parental support gave them lots of opportunity to annoy us with their little jokes, games, and attempts at spying. They certainly had fun with all of that long after Rowen and I stopped being amused, and even as I’m writing this; they’re still prowling around and trying to scare us. I’d suggest that it would be nice if they’d just grow up, but then again if that means being like Chris, Martin, or some of the other younger teen boys we know; that might just end up being worse.
The good parts of our camping have been the chat time; doing a little star watching while laying on a blanket; and the bakery snacks that weren’t captured during one of the boys’ first raids on our tent. It’s not quite midnight, but we’re going to wrap this up, and hopefully get some sleep once Patrick and Scott get tired of their games.
Until next time; it’s lights out, campers!
