Anika update 2
Missed the first update?
Clicky
Anika soon welcomed a new addition to her family ( a little one named Armando) and it seemed that nothing could make him happier.
With his new life came a new family, a new house, new toys and a new wardrobe.
Dani also came home later that same day. . . and although she was tired she was glad to be there.
Anika felt the pain of her daughter and was completely heart broken having her away during the week, so she decided to relocate her to a close private school instead of a boarding one.
She was happy at the news!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The family camping trip came fast and all four vacationers were equally excited.
Things started out perfect.
They found the absolute best spot to just hang out. . .
. . . fish in the lake,
. . . and form friendships!
Armando really took to George and Anika could see really the father figure in him!
Fortunately, here and there, Anika and George also had some freedom to steal away !
~*~*~*~
And when night came they all realized that just because the sun set, the fun didn't have to go with it!
The camping crew stayed up really late just playing around
and the log roll was a favorite for George and Armando.
They completely bonded over their shared talent for falling in!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
However when the kids were beat, and soon fell fast asleep. . . Anika and George took every spare moment to spend together.
"I'm really glad you came.
Armando thinks a lot of you," Anika whispered.
" . . . Just Armando?" he whispered back.
". . . Dani too," she teased hugging him tightly.
She felt so loved when she was with him and she came to the conclusion that she cared about him more then he realized.
He was absolutely everything to her.
He held her Friendship, her companionship and was the one person who was completely dependable for her family.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Camping was a complete blast, everyone was having a great time lounging around and one day George let everyone in on a secret.
Back home, while looking for scraps, he found a map to a secret lot in the area.
They were all surprised but interested.
So interested that one afternoon they decided to go and explore!
To their surprise it was a map to the one and only Big Foot.
Upon seeing him, everyone was a little frightened.
However when he cracked a smile, they instantly knew he was harmless.
~*~*~*~*~*~
All and all, camping was fun. . . but it did eventually get a little cold out there.
In fact it was so cold that Dani was turning BLUE!
So, with only two days left on their vacation, Anika packed up their things and checked into a cabin.
~*~*~*~
Again, when the kids were tucked away in their beds, Anika and George had a little quality time.
. . .
This time in the hot tub!
"Your quite rugged for a guy who makes robots," Anika teased splashing him with water.
"It's the total package right here," George smirked.
"Your right about that," Anika flirted.
Giving him a seductive grin she slowly approached him.
"You know your irresistible right?" he sighed, knowing exactly where this was going.
Without answering she leaned into him and kissed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
On their final vacation day Anika wanted to do something a little special and it involved spending the day downtown!
They packed up their things and were ready to go. . . Armando was extremely excited to meet more locals.
The few he met were very nice and taught him a new greeting!
Downtown there was tons to do.
Dani was the first one to relax in the hot springs. . .
while Anika jumped right into some locals slap dancing!
She also picked up a cheap video game for her kids to play when they got back.
She was spoiling them. . . but she had good intentions.
She also spoiled herself. . . with amazing massages!
Adorkable George hit up the play room and played a near perfect game of darts.
The kids also made their ways to the playground.
When it was time to wrap their vacation up, they all gathered around the campfire for some good old fashioned marshmallows.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Looking back on her life and this trip, Anika was pretty content with the way her life had progressed.
She had a great daughter, son and supportive boyfriend.
There was no other place she wanted to be at this point in her life.
No other place. . . with no other people.
She knew how lucky she was. . .
and promised she would never take it for granted!
