The campfire and camping adventure last
night was the highlight of my weekend; and I especially-loved the cuddle and
play time with Brianna and Faith – with some junior camper help from Ehlana and
Naomi. Michael had the tougher job
keeping up with Zack and Eli, but Ethan and Aiden helped him too; so he
survived the ordeal! Mom and Dad had fun
going out with their friends, but they also came home early; and were here to
help with winding down the campfire and getting all of the kids into tents and
sleeping bags.
Our morning was a bit of a whirlwind, but
Tai Chi by the river was awesome; we had some parental support for breakfast
and getting everyone ready for church; and then we all walked to church and
enjoyed the praise and worship time with our families and friends. I walked Michael to the Inn when he needed to
be there for the lunch shift, but came home and spent most of the afternoon
with my family. We had a campground to
clean up before lunch; we had a back yard barbeque for that meal; and then some
of us went to the park to play and bike for a couple of hours while Dad worked
in the office.
Michael joined us for some of that play
time; we came back to my house to do our homework after that; and then I went
with him to the Inn to work the dinner-to-close shift. We were busy, but nothing like the summer buffet
shifts; so it was easy to keep up with the work. Michael’s parents get to go home early on
Sundays – once the cooking is pretty much done for the day; but Michael and I
stayed until the end with Jake and Stephanie – and that’s a lot more fun to do
when we aren’t all rushing around trying to keep up with all of the busy.
I walked Michael home; we did our goodnight
hugs and kisses out on his front porch; and then I came home and had a bedtime
visit with Mom and Dad that included a Magi lesson with Mom while Dad finished
up his weekend homework. There was a lot
of family business work and studying for me to do once I was in my room, but I
still multi-tasked some quality time in my Jacuzzi. I used a time phase when I could; worked in
real time when needed; and now it’s really late and I’m ready to crash and nap.
We have managed to have a pretty good
weekend even with all of the work, and I hope that trend will continue next
week. I’ll have to keep you posted on
how that goes for me, though, and that’s all I have for tonight; so, until next
time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
