This is going to be a quick update because
I’m writing it before getting started on what will be the best part of the day –
our camping adventure. I don’t want
things like work, email, or anything else to get in the way of that fun; so I’m
doing the nightly computing thing now. I’m
not even going to take my computer out to the tent tonight!
Why not, you ask – because I’m planning on
having fun with Michael, Rebecca, and our friends; and we’re going to be doing
that without any younger kids to take care of for a change. It’s just going to be us, Lucas, Tim, and
Rowen. Ethan and Ehlana are doing a
sleepover with Naomi and Aiden; but they’re doing that indoors this week. For the record, that wasn’t our idea – Mom mandated
it; and then Dad had some fun teasing us about not having our chaperones with
us tonight. He supposedly only agreed to
the plan when he was assured there were only going to be two tents set up for
the six of us. Three apparently would
have been a problem – though I liked the idea. ;^)
I’ll give you the camping report tomorrow,
and it won’t take much for that to be more exciting than the rest of my day so
far. There wasn’t really anything going
on that was very much different than yesterday except that Michael and I took
the twins canoeing instead of biking during his afternoon break today. Baseball practice tonight wasn’t that
exciting, though that was more because Jenny wasn’t the only player skipping
the practice; so we didn’t quite have enough players for a full practice. In contrast, Michael, Lucas, and Tim had more
guys at their football scrimmage.
Maybe that was because it’s the last day of
the month, and more guys are thinking about the upcoming season now that it’ll
be August in a few hours, but whatever the reason; they had a fairly
enthusiastic game – and had more spectators watching them than we had at our
practice.
I’m sure that the guys will be talking
football while we hang out around the tents tonight; but Rebecca, Rowen, and I
should be able to divert their attention from sports now and then too. I’ll let you know how that goes too with the
next update because I’m ready to go outside and play again now; and I am
definitely in the mood to spend some quality time distracting my boyfriend and
having some fun!
Until next time...
...Live long and prosper, fellow Magi of
the Light!
