***Heirs of the Magi News Flash!*** The annual fall festival is now behind us, and Cassie and Michael are heading out on their fall trip - this time to the South Pacific! They'll miss out on the Halloween fun at home and the rest of the high school football season, but all of that time in tropical paradises will likely be worth those little sacrifices! Some favorite grandparents will be away for adventures in Arizona or elsewhere too, but our favorite Magi staying at home are sure to have a lot of fun anyway. We'll have all of the adventure highlights from home and away right here for you each day; so... ...Visit Witch Falls often to keep up with all of our latest stories; and Happy Reading! P.S. Thank-you to everyone enjoying our stories from Witch Falls as we have passed five-hundred thousand views!

Ethan's and Ehlana's Journals - August 14, 2025

 

Ethan and Ehlana:

Our second camping night at Aiden’s was fun.  We traded baseball for the teen praise team practice; caught the end of the co-ed ball practices in-time to help with getting next-gen kids home – or to our temporary campground; and then we kept entertained with a campfire, music, and scary stories until it was time to put out the fire and wind down toward nap time.  We got help with those next-gen kids, so co-ed camping was an option for some of us; and that made for a great end to our day!

Tai Chi was the quiet before all of the busy this morning; we packed up the campground; helped with getting everyone fed; and then Ehlana and I dropped off our gear at home while I was on the way to the park for the morning football workout.  I’m getting a bit tired of those workouts, but since I have committed to joining the team; that work will get tougher once training camp opens and through to the end of the season.  We had another chores day that was hotter today as the highs climb every day; and we hit the nineties this afternoon.  That’s why we had a few more swims along with the work and lots of liquids; and now we’re getting cleaned up and ready to host Naomi and Aiden for the night.  Sophia and Aaron have other plans with his family; so they declined our too-late offer to join us.  We don’t have any major plans for tonight.  Mom will likely do a Magi lesson with us and we’ll likely have some music play time too, but other than that; we’re looking forward to a quieter evening.

While we’re doing that, Cassie and Michael are wrapping up their Thursday; and they’ve reached Ankara; and will be there for another day before moving on to Istanbul for the final couple of days of their visit to Turkey.  They continue to get a lot done; and all is going smoothly with no serious trouble.  We’ll hope that’ll stay true for the rest of their trip.

Let’s skip the world news; since everyone is waiting for the big summit-meeting in Alaska; so we’ll wait to see what won’t happen to end the war in Ukraine – along with whatever gets announced after that by both sides.  Our expectations are very low, but our world leaders still have the capacity to make things worse; since they seem to have a real talent for making all of the wrong choices.

Instead of going there, we’re going to stay happy; and get back to enjoying the rest of the day with Mom, Dad, and our best friends.

Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
