This has not been a particularly exciting holiday weekend
Saturday. We’ve had rain off and on all
day; and that meant cancelling pretty much all outdoor activities.
Food was still cooked on the barbeques, but Dad and the
other chefs got rained on a fair bit doing that too; we had to heat our meals
indoors; and that meant that we couldn’t get all of our collective families
together to do that at one house for lunch or dinner. Dawn and I spent most of the day trying to
keep Kara, Eddie, Ethan, and Ehlana entertained. We were able to go outside a couple of times,
but the playground equipment and lawns were soaked; and it wasn’t much fun for
any of us.
We watched a couple of kids movies in the lounge after
dinner while Chris, Martin, and Jonathan moved their gaming over to Uncle Adam
and Aunt Leanne’s for the night; and had some of their Witch Falls friends join
them for that. Chris and Martin are
staying there overnight too; and probably aren’t going to get much sleep.
Dawn and I were probably the most disappointed that the
trail ride, back yard picnics, and the campfire were all off today, but we’re
also tired out after spending so much of our time playing with Kara, Eddie, and
the twins. It’s only a bit after eleven,
and Dawn’s already asleep. That does
mean that I’ve been able to sit in the window alcove and get my nightly
computing done earlier than I’d expected while watching and listening to the
rain; but I’d still rather be sitting around a campfire listening to scary
stories and singing campfire songs.
Maybe the weather will cooperate a bit tomorrow, but for
now, I guess it’s just time to call it a night and get some sleep, so...
...until next time, this is Magi Master Cassie Proctor;
logging out!
