Ethan and Ehlana:
We had a blast through the rest of our Fourth of July adventures! Dinner was great and we had a bit of everything from ribs and burgers to corn on the cob and various cold salads. The family-rated dance was awesome; we spent most of that time with our teen friends and danced a lot with our respective favorite dance partners; and then the fireworks show was amazing too! Getting our day camp gear packed up and helping with getting next-gen kids into our tents and off to sleep took a while; and then we wound down our holiday with a late-night swim; chat time with our friends and cousins; and co-ed cuddle time that didn’t wrap up until after three o’clock.
That didn’t leave us much time to nap before getting started again today, but Tai Chi by the river with a gang again was still awesome; and then we got ready for the day and headed to the Inn for the breakfast buffet adventure! That was great too, and pretty much everyone in our collective families went there too, but we didn’t all do that at the same time; so there were waves of family and friends doing that while we had to move on to other plans. We needed to pack up our tents and gear due to rain and thunderstorms that are in the forecast for later today and tomorrow; some of our cousins had ball games to play this morning; and they had cheer squads and spectators along to cheer them on. Brianna, Faith, and their Taylor’s Twist team won the closer battle over Spinner’s Spin; and Sebastian, Caleb, and the Med Center Monsoon had the more-convincing win over the Witch Falls Wave to give our family teams the sweep for the holiday weekend games we had booked.
That brings us up to now. Ehlana and I are taking time to get ready for our afternoon trail ride at the ranch; Mom and Dad are hosting one of several, smaller barbeque lunches; and then we will hopefully get our ride in before the first blast of rain arrives in the area. Due to the forecast, dinners will be smaller-group events tonight too; and Ehlana and I are hosting a teen night here while younger cousins get to do a boys’ night at the Carringtons or a girls’ night at the Ayres’ home or choose other entertainment options elsewhere. We’ll have those stories for you with our next report, but expect to be busy for the rest of the day; so we’ll put our computers away for the rest of the day and get back to the holiday fun with our family and friends starting right now!
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
