Quincy is having quite the social summer. Her friend, Cadence, moved to California last year, and is here visiting for a few weeks. Everyone was very excited to see Cadence and Cadence had something fun and/or a date or two lined up for every day and night that she was in town! All this fun means our lucky little Quincy has been invited to be the date for the buddies of Cadences many suitors hahaha. Quincy said “nothing wrong with second place!” jokingly all week when she was invited to join as someone’s plus one, because she says they are all really there for Cadence. She’s delighted to be second choice if it meant hanging out with fun friends and endless summer adventures. She’s also been out on other dates, and to a million gatherings. We can’t keep up with her, but she’s having fun and we know all the people she’s with and they’re great kids. It’s so good to see her out having fun.
She played with fireworks at Murray’s, Ratsachack’s, Gordon’s and Saumwebers, beekeeping with David, swimming at Parker O’s, Metfield pool, and David S’s many times, playing at Lake Ann at Baylee and Benny’s docks countless times, hiking and SUP with Zach VanS, SUP with Olivia, hiking with Scott G, Cadence, and David, kayaking at Lake Leatherwood with David, Will, and CJ, out for Andy’s with Gavin F, Cadence and Will, SDC with Reese, Tommy and David, pho with Benny, boating on Beaver Lake with Ethan A, Scott G, and Cadence, the redneck waterslide with Baylee and Will, floated the Elk River with Scott G, Spencer B, and Cadence, Sonic with Isaac, a charity carnival, to Becks property, movies night with Ena, Cadence, Davey, Baylee, and Will, she goes over to Davey’s gym a few times a week (for “peachy glutes”), Fallout Boy with David and Parker, and a dozen nights where 12-30 teens that we call the “Krusty Krabbs” or “Creekers” show up at our house, Grover’s dock, Gordon’s pool, or Saumwebers to do whatever. That’s like…a sampling. The girl goes 100 miles an hour when she is with friends, and when she’s at home playing cello, working, babysitting so I can do my internship or texting the short list people she texts —I’ll add that text not her fave form of communication, but there are a few friends she will text at rapid speed and keep conversations going for hours with. Same for FaceTime. She has 2-3 friends she almost exclusively FaceTimed with.
Add a bunch of movies, house parties, swimming, lake days, food dates, shopping, and trips to the gym since I started this post weeks ago and you’ve got Quincy’s summer in a nutshell. Girl worked HARD last year and is living her best life for the last few days until school starts.
