Grandma and Grandpa are on their way to Europe; Uncle Nick and Aunt Deborah are home from their honeymoon; and Grandpa Grant and Grandma Eleanor are back from their archive and honeymoon trip too.
Those news stories are big around town, but for me, there’s only one top story, and that’s the two-day amusement park adventure that we’re going on starting at five o’clock in the morning! ‘We’ includes Mom, Dad, and all of the kids and teens currently at our house; the Stones; the Emersons; and Chrissy, Jonathan, Stephanie, Dillon, Jenny, Tim Landry, and Scott Faulkner. Alicia Jennings and her best friend, Erin Green, are coming too, and trading some babysitting time with Ethan and Ehlana for the park passes, some spending money, and a five-star overnight getaway from home.
I’ll write more about all of that over the next couple of days, but I need to get some sleep, so let’s keep this journal entry short.
We had a fairly normal morning with Tai Chi, breakfast, and church. The barbeque lunch was at our house, we had a play afternoon that Rowen, Dawn, Jillian, and I got to mostly enjoy while Chris, Martin, and Jonathan spent most of the day somewhere else with their friends. Dinner was another barbeque that we moved down to Uncle Adam and Aunt Leanne’s for. That was mostly a welcome home for Uncle Nick and Aunt Deborah; and included the Ayres, Seager, Carrington, and Johnson families.
Mom and Dad dropped the amusement park trip news on us shortly before we came home again for the night just as it was getting dark. We all had some packing to do since then, but even Chris and Martin aren’t trying to do another late night when the wake-up calls will be coming at about four in the morning.
That’s not very many hours away, so I’m going to wrap this up now too.
