Good Exercise and Weird Smells

The first half of the day was a little boring because of the "work" that Christa and Brendan have to do. It was a nice day outside so I spent some time taking in these last few summer weeks. Christa said we'd go for another run after she mowed the field that had become their lawn - I was ready to go! We went further this time and did a 4.5 mile run, it was a little later in the early evening this time, so thankfully it was less hot and more shadows. It was heavenly. I even took a dip in the brook and walked around in it to cool off and get a quick drink. I was pretty thirsty when I got back!

Brendan came home a little after we got back, around 7:30, and we drove over to surprise my best friend Libby! We played and played in the dark and even though I was tired from the previous exercise session, I had a blast! Brendan got a phone call and had to be dropped off at his friend's house on the way home, he said he was going to help because their friends had hunted a bear and needed help bringing it out of the woods. I think that's pretty gross, and mean. I was so freaked out because of the way he smelled when he got home an hour later, that I was too nervous to get too close to him. He kept calling me over. That's when I hid by Christa's side as she was making dinner and me feel much better. I guess she's not so bad, but my mom is still better.
