Ethan and Ehlana:
This wasn’t an ‘official’ rest day, but it has ended up that way for us because our canoeing plans were changed when we decided that we didn’t want to spend another hot day paddling all the way to the whirlpool when staying closer to home allowed for more comfort – even when we were outdoors and enjoying the swim time and the rest of our adventures at home and around town. Our picnic lunch still happened because it had been made up this morning and needed to be eaten anyway, but we also had Emporium frozen treats for our morning break and pizza slices at the Pizzeria during a mid-afternoon stop around some minor shopping at the Galleria.
We were split up for dinner – and I mean that to include Ehlana having Aiden stay with her for that meal with Mom and Dad while I was with Naomi and her family. We were back together for the co-ed ball practice; and the four of us were on-duty for kid control while the parents and some of our favorite ball players were busy and having fun with the kids their own ages! That kept us busy until it was time to head for our homes, and we don’t have any guests with us tonight because our visiting cousins are elsewhere again tonight as our hometown family continues to share them as we wind down toward the end of their visit.
There isn’t any news to add since we got home. Mom didn’t want us to do any work tonight; we skipped the Magi lesson opportunity too; and bath or Jacuzzi time was the only item on our to-do list after a hot play day – two of them if you include the biking and camping from yesterday. We have done some bedtime computing that included a bit of family business work, but that wasn’t anything serious or interesting; and now we’re pretty much ready to call it a night and get some sleep. We want to rest up and be ready for tomorrow – and the last few days we’ll have with our visiting cousins; so that’s it for tonight. Stay tuned, since our next adventures will include a last day with Cassie and Michael before they leave for China; and then we will not be taking over their house for a month-long party while they’re away – even though they are getting teased about that a lot this week! We will be helping out with taking care of their house, yard, and Mandy while they’re away, but that’ll mostly be work and probably won’t be newsworthy. We are still going to be very busy while they’re away, though, and we’ll try to have a blast – even if we won’t get to take that to a world-travel adventure level of fun!
We won’t be having any fun tomorrow if we don’t get some sleep; so we’re out of here starting right now!
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
