A few weekends ago, G and I explored another area of the south metro, looking for a creek to walk by. We didn't have much luck, but we ended up at my parents' house, so we stopped in for an unexpected visit. I consider that a win for the day! Later that night, Arya requested a bonfire for her last Saturday night at home.
