No rain again so far today, and though there’s a chance of showers overnight, and thunder-storms tomorrow; Rowen and I are still camping by the river again.
We didn’t end up getting to spend much time with Violet today because she was working in the office most of the day. She went for one swim with us, but skipped the Arrows’ practice so that she could keep working instead. Rowen and I went biking out into the valley west of town this morning, and took a picnic lunch with us. We brought Emporium ice cream treats home with us for everyone when we got back, and then spent the rest of the afternoon by the river and lying around on a beach blanket. It was another easy-dinner night, and then we took care of Ethan, Ehlana, and Naomi while the parents played with their friends.
There were no raids or boys at our camp tonight, and after being teased at the park a half-dozen times tonight; that was a really good thing. Aunt Leanne thinks that I’m being very suspiciously quiet about her jokes and comments, but I’m really just mostly keeping my mouth shut to avoid giving anyone future ammunition. I love my Aunt a lot, but even though she talks about not having a photographic memory; she doesn’t seem to have a problem keeping track of certain details for a very long time – something that I’ve mostly seen her use on Dad now and then. I’m sure she’ll always have enough to tease me about without my helping her out with more material.
Moving along, though, after baseball practice, Rowen and I went swimming, and have been hanging out in our tent since then. Mom and Dad brought Ethan and Ehlana out to us for a camping bedtime story and hugs and kisses before going back inside for the night.
Okay, yes, technically there were two boys at our little camp tonight (Aunt Leanne); but you knew what I meant earlier. Rowen would like me to add that while I may be in the clear because we’re talking about my father and brother, Dad’s also already taken, and while she thinks Ethan is seriously cute; she has no intention of ever dating any guys that she’s changed diapers for. While we’re not interested in dating anytime soon either, she also doesn’t plan on waiting until she’s around thirty for Ethan to be old enough to date her either, no matter how much her Dad might approve of a no-dating ‘til you’re thirty plan.
The rest of the night has mostly been a repeat of last night for the vid-watching, surfing, music, and chat time. Staying up later is an option, but we’ve both had enough for today, and are going to pack up and get some sleep, so...
...live from Witch Falls; this is Cassie and Rowen, signing off!
