An Adventurous Band of Princesses

Thursday, there was a girl's only party at Abby's house. Finally, our beloved Vivy attended a party and we talked and gossiped about boys and why drinking Juicy Juice out of a shot glass was better because sometimes I get overwhelmed by the flavor of JJ. She decided that she was crawling out of her skin and that we should go for a walk. I assumed it would be a short walk around the neighborhood, but that's not what she had in mind. I grabbed my bubbles and we headed out. We had not gone a block from Abby's house when we decided that Tom Hunter's was an excellent destination despite having to walk on Bethel. Kacey said she knew the way, so she was in front. Turns out she didn't know the way, but when someone suggested we cross the street, I ran right across and was accidentally right. Hooray! Viv and I, and perhaps others, were barefoot and Tom Hunter's yard was full of irritating grass, so we walked around their driveway and met a cat. We took it as evidence that Tom was home. He was. His sister came to the door first and said literally, "Tom! There are 12 girls at the door for you!" It was true, and rather silly. We talked for a short while, then his mom came over and she was very entertaining. Barathi had to leave, and she got a call that her dad was already at the Molen household. OH NO! So she, Meg, and Automm, ran ahead. We walked back, almost got hit by a car at Viv's insistence, and had a beautiful night in the beautiful evening.
