Ethan:
Our day started with Tai Chi by the river
and breakfast for six; and we loved having Cassie and Michael with us for
both. We worked around the school and
yard this morning; loved having pizzeria pizza for lunch; and then Cassie came
along to the park with us for our part of the town clean-up. Our class was one of the groups assigned to
the park, but while the work could get a bit gross – especially the garbage
collection; it was fun too. We worked
until it was time for the country kids to catch their buses home; Cassie went
with us for the walk to school and then on to our home after we picked up our
computer bags; and then we had a snack break with Mom – and with Naomi, Aiden,
and Sophia.
Cassie came with us for a bike ride at the
park after that, and the highlight of that play time on the trails happened
when Cassie took up Miles’ challenge for a competition. He should’ve known better, but I’m glad he
didn’t; since we all got to see Cassie play around with some of her best bike
tricks – including a backward flip and a seven-twenty spin. Miles found out that girls can be better than
boys on bikes; and all of the girls in our group loved that. The fun continued at the park for a while; we
did a loop over to the new section of town that included picking up overnight
bags for Naomi and Aiden; and then Mom and Dad hosted the barbeque family and
friends dinner night. We had a good
turnout for that; the food was great; and then we had more park play time and
biking before splitting up again for the night.
Mom and Dad wanted to get some work done in
the office tonight, so after having a bedtime snack and chat; we – the kids –
were sent upstairs. Cassie and Michael
joined us in the lounge – since he was finished work at the Inn in time for
that snack break; we watched a movie; and then there was a bit of video gaming
that got cut short when Mom and Dad advised us that we’d be going to the Inn
for the holiday weekend buffet breakfast.
That – along with the shopping plans for the girls – had the majority of
us choosing to call it a night and get some sleep. Aiden and I weren’t in the majority, but we’re
going to use our portable game systems for a while instead. He’s taking his turn in the washroom, and we’ll
get to that gaming soon; so I guess that’s all I have for tonight.
This has been a great start to the holiday
weekend, so stay tuned; since there will be lots more to come!
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
Ethan has the highlights covered; so I’ll
only add a couple of comments.
First, there was some cuddle time involved
with the movie tonight. Second, Michael
is here for another sleepover with Cassie too, and while Naomi would have been
happy to do a roommate swap with Aiden so that she could stay with Ethan
instead of me; that isn’t happening – tonight.
Finally, we do want to be rested up and ready for that breakfast buffet
and shopping; so that’s it for me tonight too.
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
