Ethan:
Depending on how you want to do the count,
Day Three – or Five – of our summer holidays was probably close to what Ehlana
and I hope we’ll have for ‘normal’ summer days.
We played at the lab or archives all morning; had lunch with Mom; and
then played with our friends all afternoon.
Naomi and Aiden were with us for an easy dinner; we had more play time
at the park while Mom was busy with her ball practice that included helping out
with our younger cousins and some of their friends; and then Mom did a Magi
lesson with us before we headed upstairs for a bath for me and quality Jacuzzi
time for Mom and Ehlana. There were
video chats with Dad and Cassie; no news to report from either city; and now
I’m ready to get some sleep so that I’ll be ready for a near-repeat kind of day
tomorrow.
Ethan – out!

Ehlana:
I love my Jacuzzi! ;^)
We didn’t cure anything today at the lab,
but had fun with some experiments. The
play time with our friends included the usual biking, swims in the river,
picnic snacks, and some girl chat time for some of us when we needed a break
from the most-annoying boys our age.
Ethan, Naomi, Aiden, and I do lead the way when it comes to junior
cousin kid control at the co-ed practices, but I should mention that we do have
adult help nearby if needed; and there are usually grandparents keeping an eye
on us too – even if they aren’t running around after their frenetic
grandchildren on a hot summer evening.
They’re also very helpful to have around for cuddling, comforting, and
moral support when dealing with everything from hurt feelings to the inevitable
playground bumps and bruises.
Okay, that’s enough for tonight – though
I’ll just get back to enjoying my Jacuzzi time.
We’ve had a good day, and while the daily adventures aren’t as exciting
as trips to the city or elsewhere; I’ll be very happy if we get to have a lot
of days like this with mornings at the lab and afternoon fun with our friends.
Ending the day with long soaks in my
Jacuzzi will be great too! ;^)
This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live
from what is now my past!
