Ehlana and Ethan:
Happy 11th Birthday, Zack!
Happy Day-Late, 2nd Birthday, Hannah Sinclair!
We’re taking a home break before heading back to the park for dinner and the family dance tonight while also packing overnight bags, but we also don’t have much time; so this is going to be a partial update for the news since our last report.
First up, we sadly report that our team didn’t win our home game last night; and we found out that we aren’t ready to play against the best teams yet this year as Hillcrest cruised to a fifty-five to sixteen victory. Aaron earned our only touchdown early, but then Hillcrest successfully shut him down after that; and we only managed three field goals through the rest of the game. The teen dance was still pretty good despite having some disappointed players and fans, but then the Hillcrest teens and some fans joined in and stayed for that fun too; and the dance was a hit with everyone there. Ethan and I hosted our four best friends for a short co-ed nap break after we got home from the park and watched a Halloween movie; and then we were up at normal time for Tai Chi by the river and breakfast.
Our day-so-far at the festival since then has been amazing. We’ve hit a high of ninety this afternoon, so the thrill rides, outdoor shows, and everything else has been awesome – including the time we spent with Zack while he’s been celebrating his birthday. Those adventures included a birthday lunch with family and friends; a round of rides in the midway; and a round of game booth competitions with the kids vying for bonus birthday party gifts to go along with any prizes won from the games.
There is going to be a birthday dinner at the park along with the dance and more thrill rides and games and more; so we need to move on soon to help with kid control. Ethan and Aiden are booked to help with Zack’s party sleepover that won’t include much sleep; so Naomi, Sophia, and I are going to stay with Cassie and Michael to help them with the girls’ night they are hosting for Brianna, Faith, and quite a few of the other cousins and friends. Sure, they’re saving Brianna from a house full of boys, but we should also mention that this is about Cassie and Michael spending time with us before they leave next week – and then did the same with Zack and the guys last night.
Okay, we’re out of time and need to go now; so that’s all for this update.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
