It’s hard to believe that we’ll be going home tomorrow
already. We’ve mostly spent our last
full day here playing and enjoying the beautiful weather.
For Grandpa and Dad, their fun started with an escape from
another shopping trip while they went golfing instead. Ethan wasn’t so lucky, but didn’t seem to
mind hanging out with some of his favorite girls for a few hours; since golfing
too wasn’t an option for him. Okay,
technically it is an option, Ethan; just not one that you can choose in public
– though it’d be cool to watch you hit a golf ball two hundred and fifty or
three hundred yards!
Part of our shopping trip was for supplies for Grandma and
Grandpa, but we did a bit more gift and souvenir shopping too. I didn’t buy any more clothes; mostly because
I didn’t expect to still fit any summer clothes I bought now by next summer at
home. That wasn’t a problem for Mom, and
I’ll guess that Dad will have an outfit or two in his suitcase for the trip
home that he’ll appreciate a lot, but won’t be in his size or style. We had time to go home and put the supplies
and groceries away before heading out again to meet Grandpa and Dad at the golf
course clubhouse for lunch.
The afternoon was all fun and sun around the pool, with a
few games thrown in here and there that Grandma and Grandpa did with Ethan,
Ehlana, and me while Mom and Dad relaxed in lounge chairs and soaked up the
sun. We had another dinner at home with
some of Grandma and Grandpa’s friends; did an evening walk; I went swimming
again; and then we went to bed early again.
No, Grandma and Grandpa’s community here isn’t exactly party central for
Arizona at
night, but then I’m fairly sure that Ethan, Ehlana, and I will never be into
the all-night party scene anyway; so this kind of fun is just our speed.
It’s going to be a long day tomorrow, so I’m going to wrap
this up and get some extra sleep. Our
flight isn’t until the afternoon, and we’ll have the time change going back
home, so Mom and Dad expect it’ll be midnight or later by the time we get to Witch Falls. Sleeping on the plane and drive from the
airport is an option, but we still have all morning to play before packing up
and heading back to the airport in Phoenix.
I’m going to love being home again, but it would be okay with me if some
of this hot weather would come back with us.
Just to be safe, in case that does happen, no, even four
Magi Masters couldn’t move an entire weather front like that – or at least we
couldn’t do it with any kind of control over it; and there could be some bad
unintended consequences. You really
don’t want to mess with Mother Nature!
Anyway, that’s it for Day Three in Arizona.
Say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.
“Goodnight, Cassie.”
