Last night’s chat turned to cannibalism, of all things. Glad we didn’t actually get lost – who’d want that? I joked about Larry being our “survival option.”
I wanted us to split up in Marshall Canyon for a hide and seek adventure. No takers. Guess my fam’s not too wild.
We ended up just hiking back. Weird talks aside, it was a fun family night outdoors. There’s something about the stars that brings out our quirky sides. Wouldn’t change it for the world.
