“Momy, are you almost done?” Noah yells through my bedroom door “It’s almost time Vie sie
going to be late.”
“Just give me a sec” I yell back as I quickly put on my outfit for the day.
Nowadays, I’m more comfortable with dresses, so that’s what I had on 1 had on a cute sundress
with thin straps and that reached above my knees. I paired them with sandals. Since we were
going to spend most of the time walking, I assumed they will be more comfortable.
My hair was in in a curled pony tail with loose tendrils framing my face. I didn’t have much make
up on. Mainly because I felt too lazy to do it.
I didn’t want to do this whole thing. I easily get tired nowadays and I didn’t want to ruin the day by
being worn out too quickly. The smile on Noah’s and Gunner’s faces is what made me change my
mind. They were both so excited for this day.
Gunner needed this after what happened last week. He needed to feel loved and treasured. I hoped
that being surrounded by those that love him will give him new memories. Memories that would

I take my purse and open my door only to find Noah waiting for me outside.
“I’m ready. Let’s go”
Just as I finished the sentence, we hear a honk outside my house. I guess that both Calvin and
Gunner were also ready to go
Since were going to the same place, we saw no need for travelling separately. We decided that we

We get out of the house and Noah rushes to Cal’s car. I follow behind him once I’ve locked the
door Climbing into the passenger seat, I smile at the father–son duo.
“Hello you two” I greet as cheerful as I can.
“Hey Ava!” Gunner screams with excitement.
Cal smile back at me “Hey”
We all buckle up and then Cal starts the engine and drives off.
Thirty minutes into the trip, the boys are still as excited as the first day we made these plans.
They were so hyper that it was funny how they behaved.
“How long till we get there?” Noah asks, buzzing with joy while Gunner bounced up and down his
seat.
“About forty minutes give or take” Cal answers.

I shake my head to clear my thoughts. “Nothing. I’ve just never heard you laugh like that before.
You should laugh more often. It suits you”
We drive in silence after that Mostly it’s the kids that engage us in their conversation. Those two
surprised me at how in sync they were with each other. They were even finishing each other’s
Soon we get to our destination. We get out of the car immediately Calvin finds a parking spot.
“Where to first?” Cal asks as we faced the gate to the amusement park. There were probably
