Ethan and Ehlana:
We’re doing another early update today because our plans for tonight include the last major camping night for our cousins before they head home on Sunday.
Cassie and Michael’s anniversary dinner was a blast, and while we didn’t get to spend as much time with them as we would have liked; what matters is that Cassie and Michael had a happy day and got to spend some time with all of us ahead of their trip. Their travel plans for today had everything to do with the early end to their party, but it was a work night too; so none of the parents had a problem with an early night.
That didn’t end up being an option for our parents or Sophia’s Mom and Dad, but that was because our house ended up being video gaming central for the tween guys – along with a sleepover; and the girls were happy to take Sophia’s offer to host the girls at her place. The teens and kids made other plans for last night, but we didn’t try to add in extra guys or girls for our plans because at least one of us did not want to deal with Zack, Eli, and some of the other guys all night. We – the guys – had fun last night and stayed up too late; the girls had a good night too; and I won’t comment on the lack of details from Ehlana and Naomi – while being happy to be kept out of the loop for their girl chat fun! ;^)
We had a gang this morning for Tai Chi; the girls had the easier breakfast time; and we had more work to do because the guys ate more. We’ve had a chores day since then with some breaks for lunch and swimming when we needed to cool off. All of the work got done, though, and now we’re getting cleaned up ahead of the barbeque dinner, campfire, and camping we have ahead of us for the rest of the day. Those stories can wait for tomorrow night, but before we wrap up; let’s add a quick travel update for Cassie and Michael.
They hit the road early this morning; they’re currently at the San Francisco airport waiting for their trans-Pacific flight to China that will keep them busy overnight, and thanks to the time change; they’ll get to their hotel in Beijing by sometime late Saturday afternoon local time – or in the wee hours of tomorrow morning for us. They’ll get to have Sunday for some sightseeing; and then get started on their work on Monday. We’ll keep you posted on their adventures, but we need to get back to our own fun; so that’s all for this report!
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
