Ethan:
We’re getting ready for bed; so this is
going to be a short update – live from our hotel in Crystal Springs.
We were up early; got ready for the day and
had breakfast for three; loaded up the minivan; and then picked up Naomi and
Aiden on our way out of town. The drive
to the city was quick and easy; we met up with Angela, Valerie, and Marcus
Malloy at the mall; had a snack break; and then shopped for the morning. Lunch was at the food court; we spent the
afternoon playing at SportsFusion; and one of the highlights was finding out
that we – the four older kids – were tall-enough to go on the zip line ride!
I’m not sure that you have a better chance
of surviving a fall from near the ceiling of a building like that based on your
height; but the ‘ride’ operator assured us that they hardly ever had any kids
fall – though adding in the survivor rate was more than a little unbelievable.
;^)
We also had fun with the games there; and I
teamed up with Marcus to help him out because most of them were a bit too-tough
for kids his age. We met up with Dad and
Terry for dinner; went out to see an animated movie that Valerie and Marcus
loved; but won’t be in danger of winning any academy awards; and then we said
goodbye to the Malloys and headed for our hotel. As I mentioned; we’re getting ready for bed;
Mom and Dad will be over soon to tuck us in for the night before Dad gets
started on his homework; and we’ll be on our own for the rest of the night.
Yes, we’re only seven and eight, but we’re
right next door to Dad’s room; and no burglar in their right mind should want
to mess with four junior ninjas!
I have to go now. Naomi is instigating a little prank for Mom
and Dad; and that won’t work if we’re not in place on time.
I’ll give you a hint – coed sleepover! ;^)
Ethan – out!
