It’s been yet another hot summer day, though we did get a short dash or two of rain here and there too.
Rowen and I have been free most of the day to play, though we also spent a couple of hours before dinnertime helping out at the computer store with getting ready for the extra holiday week business that Rowen’s parents expect to have; mostly from area campgrounds, and visiting family and friends.
Mom and Dad were hosting our dinner and a movie night, and Uncle Adam, Aunt Leanne, Aunt Deborah, and Nick were all here for it this week. Rowen’s here for a sleepover too, though we’re doing that in my room tonight instead of camping. Dad and Nick were already working the grill by the time Rowen and I got home from Emerson’s Computers, and Mom put us to work on setting the dining room table before getting us to play with Ethan and Ehlana while she and Aunt Leanne and Violet put together the dinner side dishes.
Our dinnertime chat was mostly about work and weddings, and then, after cleaning up, the movie part of our night was changed to a play and swim evening instead. We hadn’t been able to swim in the river with so many of our favorite grownups very often so far this year, and we had a lot of fun – especially while Ethan and Ehlana were in the water with us. We went to the park to play, and watched a bit of baseball while we were there, but after that, Violet went to meet up with Dillon at the Inn; the rest of our guests went home or moved on to other plans; and Rowen and I helped Mom and Dad with Ethan’s and Ehlana’s bedtime bath, story, and snack.
We’ve been in the lounge since then, watching a movie, chatting, and surfing the net on our computers. The movie is nearly finished, and we both have work in the morning – in the yard for me, and at the store for Rowen – so we’re going to pack up now and head for bed. The only news story around town tomorrow will be Grandpa Grant and Eleanor Byrd’s wedding, and I’ll include any wedding stories tomorrow. Until then, though...
