Ehlana and Ethan:
Day two of our final week of summer vacation has included another morning of work-play at the lab or archives while football and cheer squad tryouts kept some of our friends busy. We’re flirting with triple-digit highs again this afternoon; and that is why most of our afternoon play time has been near or in the river while we had fun and stayed cool. Now we’re getting ready for the usual ball practices and Pizzeria pizza picnic dinner adventures at the park, and then after our practices; we’re having another camping night with our friends and will likely go with a campfire instead of an outdoor movie. We definitely had fun with our friends last night, and while Zack and Eli led a ‘raid’ during the movie last night from the camp they’d set up in Zack’s back yard; that was only a minor annoyance for the girls in our group while most of the guys goaded the younger boys on with their obvious amusement and approval.
We’re expecting the fun to continue for the rest of the day, and need to get back to those adventures soon; so let’s wrap this up. Naomi and Samantha are feeling good about their chances to make the cheer squad, and while some of their friends are feeling disappointed; I know that all of the other new prospects agree because the competition really isn’t all that close. The Grade Nine boys aren’t as confident about their progress in football tryouts, but Aaron is an exception; since he is also outplaying most of the Grade Ten guys and keeping up with the older teens despite the obvious size differences. Let’s also add that we made just one cameo visit to the football tryouts this afternoon; and that was entirely because of the heat that was also tough on the players. Their work is just getting started – at least for the guys that make the team, but dealing with weather extremes goes with those football jobs; and we’ll support our friends.
For now, we really just need to get going to our last baseball practices of the season, so that’s all for this report; and we’ll cover the rest of our news of the day sometime tomorrow.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
