Eaddie stayed in her room most of the day, and I played <em>Firewatch<\/em> on the TV over my Steam Link for a little while with relatively good results. Autumn finally made it back home, but hadn&#8217;t showered since she was last with us. I really just don&#8217;t understand how she can go that long carrying her stench so often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I eventually headed home to start a fire out back, and prep the new grill for dinner. The fire caught pretty nicely and rolled all evening once the girls came over. Summer and I ran to Walmart to get burgers for a quick dinner, and I finally got to cook on the charcoal side of the grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was actually a tiny bit disappointed, because the two halves aren&#8217;t connected at all, so there&#8217;s really no heat transmission between the charcoal and propane sides. That meant the grilling surface was actually pretty small. I struggled to get all twelve burgers on at once, not to mention the four hot dogs that Autumn didn&#8217;t want to cook over the open fire out back. I did like the grates and the general build quality though, so hopefully it lasts a while. I&#8217;ll have to get some propane to try out the other half, but that will be convenient for a quick cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After we ate, the girls all came outside and we roasted some marshmallows. When we finished, I helped Autumn prep her bicycle for her ride to school in the morning since she still hasn&#8217;t earned her right to the car again. Then everyone was off to bed to wrap up our first holiday break for the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>You are here, and it&#8217;s beautiful, and escaping isn&#8217;t always something bad.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer got up and made pancakes for breakfast this morning.
