Ehlana, Ethan, Naomi, and Aiden:
We’re actually having an end-of-day update;
and that isn’t just because it gives us an excuse to hang out together in one
tent and have some co-ed cuddle time! ;^)
Starting with last night; our girls’
sleepover adventure was more-fun than it was for the boys; and that’s confirmed
by a unanimous vote. Yes, the guys had
fun too, but they also had to put up with Zack and Eli at their best-worse
while trying to impress both the older and younger guys with their practical
jokes, pranks, and feats of junior guy contests. While they played video games until early
this morning; the girls went to sleep earlier than that; and spent the time we
were together enjoying mini-makeovers, a lot of girl-chat time, and we watched Hallmark
Christmas-in-July movies. Add in some
music and games; and we had a really good night!
Moving on, thanks to ongoing rain, our
morning at both houses began indoors – including for separate Tai Chi
workouts. The girls had more fun with
that too because we got to have Brianna and Aunt Leanne with us while half of
the guys slept through and missed the morning workout. It didn’t rain non-stop, so we were able to
spend some time outside, but we also did some chores this morning at all family
homes; and then the weather started clearing up into the afternoon. It took time for the great outdoors to start
drying up again, but it did; and we had fun with the biking, park adventures,
and swimming in the river. We also set
up another campground – this time at our house; and we have another
fairly-large group including friends for most of the cousins. We had a barbeque dinner with most of the
parents and some siblings of the campers; that meal was spread out all around
the back yard to keep the social distancing too; and then our campfire was at
three campfires for the same reason. That
was more-entertaining tonight because we were one of the entertainment groups
that spent time at all three campfires as we rotated music and stories
entertainers for all of the guests.
Cassie and Michael are better than we are, but we’re more-adorable, so
if there had been a vote for best entertainers; we’d have won.
The campfire was the best part of our day,
but then we can’t complain about the rain or anything else – especially compared
to the problems around the world. Naomi
doesn’t want us to get into that tonight; so we won’t; and that’s pretty much
all we have for tonight. We’re not
saying that just because we’re more-interested in the uninterrupted co-ed
cuddling – that’s just an added bonus!
It is time to wrap this up, so we’ll do
that; and let you know whether we end up having a totally-unplanned co-ed
sleepover to go along with the cuddling tonight. ;^)
This is Ehlana and Ethan Proctor; live from
the hidden home of the Magi of the Light – and May the Magi Force be with you!
