Ethan and Ehlana:
Happy 8th Birthday, Drew Spencer!
We didn’t have any involvement in Drew’s special day, but Zack and Eli are at the party and camping night; so we’re going to be camping with a small gang of our younger cousins and some of their friends while they’re busy. Our campsite is set up already; and we’ll get to that blast of fun – starting with a barbeque dinner with a bunch of our parents – after Brianna’s and Faith’s ball practices.
We’ve had a busy day so far. Tai Chi by the river with Mom and Dad was good; our breakfast video chat with Cassie and Michael was fun; and then we did a couple of hours of chores before being set free for the day. That’s when we set up the tents for the camping; and then we’ve spent the rest of the time until now biking, swimming, and having a picnic lunch at the park with a gang of our friends. The weather has been awesome – not too-hot or cool; and we’re expecting at least a few days just like today that we’re going to enjoy. It has been a while since we’ve done a construction update in our journals; so we’ll at least mention that we watched some of the work on the walkway being built between the two buildings being used for the new shopping spaces. The girls are not as interested in that work as the guys, but a large crane is being used right now to lift and place the large steel beams being used for the two-level walkway; so there are kid and teen spectators watching the show from the park side of the river whenever that work is happening – and we got to watch one beam being set and welded into place today during and after our picnic lunch.
It is nearly time to get going again, since we’ve promised to check out Brianna’s practice today after attending Faith’s game-practices in July; so that’s enough news for now. We’ll include the rest of the story with our next report, but won’t be working on our computers while having fun with the camping adventures; so stay tuned for that while we get back to living those experiences with some of our favorite people!
This is Ethan and Ehlana Proctor; live from the hidden home of the Magi of the Light – and May the Magi Force be with you!
