Naomi, Ethan, Ehlana, and Ehlana:
Happy 12th Birthday, Ethan and Ehlana!
I am taking over their journal for the day, but will leave the details for their special day for Ethan and Ehlana to write about sometime tomorrow; since I plan on making sure that Ethan in particular has a best-ever kind of end to his birthday. Aiden might not do the same for Ehlana, but give him time; since he and Ehlana will catch up with Ethan and me eventually! ;^)
As for my quick bit of news, we loved the co-ed camping last night; we had a gang for Tai Chi and the birthday breakfast because the Carringtons joined us for both; and then we eventually headed for Quarry Lake for the day by mid-morning. We played all day with the highlights including the rock wall and zip line, the Aqua Bikes, riding the trails on rental bikes, and all of the swimming and water play time. Our picnic lunch was amazing; and we especially-loved the time we got to spend with Cassie, Michael, and some of our parents. The barbeque birthday dinner was hosted by my future Mom and Dad; there was more evening play and swim fun; and then the campfire just ended a little while ago. Cassie, Michael, and most of the adults only stayed for about an hour of the campfire, but we loved all of the music and story time with them – and then with our friends and cousins. We’ve already stayed up too late, and the night probably isn’t over; since we are expecting a raid from the camp that Zack, Eli, and a few of their buddies have set up in the Carrington’s back yard. Some of our guy friends will likely help them out; so we’ll be ready to deal with any annoyances. That won’t happen until sometime after Ehlana and Aiden head for their tent – the one that Ethan and Aiden are only pretending to share while our parents all know better. We do want to get to our co-ed naps, though, and that won’t happen until after the guys have their fun; so that’s all for this report.
The rest of Ethan’s night is going to be tween-rated fun; so don’t expect to read about any details! ;^)
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
