me and Levi don’t eat really well…I know, that’s probably not the ending of the rhyme you were expecting. But it’s the truth, and I’m totally committed to telling the truth here.
Kim took the girls and 2 of Lilly’s friends down to Friendship Village to celebrate Lil’s birthday. It’s a little early, sort of like a pre-birthday party, but her actual birthday is too close to the start of the school year. They stayed in a little cabin (named after Levi–more truth for you), hung out around the fire ring eating smores and Swedish Red Fish (Kim’s favorite snack!) late into the night. Today they hit DelGrosso’s Amusement Park to close out the festivities.
Meanwhile Levi and I were left to fend for ourselves. Kim had hamburger meat thawed in the fridge and a packet of taco seasoning on the counter. There was a note that said “Call me if when you need instructions…HA!” Seriously. She included a laugh at the end, as if I don’t know how to brown hamburger. (Truth: yeah, I googled.) We scrounged up some soft-shells and shredded cheese, but couldn’t locate the lettuce, salsa, or sour cream. I offered Levi some yogurt for his taco, but he declined. We didn’t mind too much. We ate our bare-bones tacos like they were our last meal, and spent the evening hanging out.
I love the fact that Kim takes the girls away, and that I get to spend some time with Levi, just being guys. It’s good for us all, and we’re creating some goofy/priceless memories along the way. And Levi and I are learning to fend for ourselves. Bear Grylls doesn’t have a thing on us…
