Ethan, Ehlana, Naomi, and Aiden:
Happy 2nd Anniversary, Julian and Jillian!
We couldn’t celebrate their special day with them because Jillian is away for the week with Julian and they are leading one of his extreme adventure trips. Jillian is, obviously, off from the lab too, but she’s also working by helping Ehlana with collecting samples of plants and other things that Ehlana wants for her research.
Compared to that kind of extreme fun, our day has been fairly-quiet. After Tai Chi by the river and breakfast, we helped Mom with chores for more than an hour; spent the rest of the morning at the lab or archives; and then we met up with Naomi and Aiden for lunch and a play afternoon. We biked the trails around town and at the park; went swimming several times; had a mid-afternoon ice cream snack break at home; and then we kept our best friends for dinner with Mom and Dad. Brianna and Faith had their usual ball practice, but we only did a bike-by cameo visit; and that was mostly because we were home in time to help Mom with the cooking for dinner.
Our evening has been quiet too. Mom did a Magi lesson with all four of us after we took care of the clean-up; we set up a tent after that; and we’ve been hanging out in and around it for most of the time since then. We didn’t do a campfire, but there has been an after-dusk swim; our campsite was raided by Brianna and Faith because they’re camping in the Everett’s back yard; and we haven’t had any trouble with Zack, Eli, and any of their buddies because Zack is hosting a gaming night and they’re too-busy to bug us tonight. That brings us up to now, and we’re pretty much just chatting and listening to music videos while winding down toward our co-ed camping and nap time. We’ve had an awesome day if not remember-forever exciting; we’re nearly ready to get to the sleeping part of our night; and that works for all four of us – so we’re going to go there right now!
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
