Cindy and her kids visited us earlier in the summer, and she returned the favor when we were in Colorado on our epic road trip by letting us crash at her house for a night. The kids had a blast playing Skull King with us, so when Brooke heard that we were coming to see them, she was all ready with her deck. We showed up at their house kind of late in the evening, and it was her bedtime, which made her very sad.
However, she struck upon an idea: “What if all of us get up at 5:30 tomorrow morning so we can play Skull King before school?” And she was quite serious. She was willing to set her alarm and be ready at the kitchen table, if only we’d get up with her. Now that’s dedication!
As it turned out, we did play before school, but not at 5:30. She was a fierce competitor.
I’m hoping Brooke comes back to visit us next summer so we can see her indomitable spirit again…
