I opened my eyes to see Thursday sunrise and smilies from my perch in this pine tree. I looked over to where Mark was sleeping and he was still sleeping. Ryan and Ian were gone and it was just Matt and Mark laying in the grass. I grabbed my blanket and descended down the pine tree and landed on my two feet. I breathed in the fresh air. I love being outside especially in the woods! I walked over to Mark and tapped him. He did not move but his breathing was deep. I let him sleep and decided to go find where Ian and Ryan ran off too. I started to walk towards the lake and saw Ian and Ryan sitting on a giant rock by the lake. They too were watching the sun rise. I walked over to the rock and climbed over to where they  were.

"Hey Ian and Ryan", I said startling both of them.

"Morning Maddie, where were you?", Ryan said. "We were looking for you",.

"I was asleep up in the tree over there", I said pointing to the tree.

"Oh", Ian said walking towards me. "I guess you can't get me",.

Ian slapped my arm and began running away from me. I took the challenge and chased him but we ran really close to where Matt and Mark were sleeping and Ian and I fell on top of Mark. Marks eyes opened and he groaned in pain. Ian and I quickly got up and grinned.

"Morning Mark", I said chuckling.

"Morning you little monsters", Mark said jumping up. "I'm gonna get you",.

Mark chased after up in the grass felid and I hid behind a tree while I assumed Ian was being chased by Mark but I was started and Mark appeared in front of me causing me to scream and run. I was running as fast a a zebra on candy?! But alas I was not quick enough and I tripped. Mark put his foot on my stomach and said "I am the king of tag",.

I laughed and when he took off his foot I jumped on top of his back and then onto his shoulders. Mark stood still and asked me "what can you see up there?",.

"Nothing much because your kinda short", I said laughing.

"HEY?!", Mark said laughing. "I'm not short it's just that Wade and Bob and a bunch of other people are taller... Plus last year Jack was below me",.

I laughed as Mark sat me down and I hugged him.

"That was fun", I said.

"It was but we better get packed up Im not off today", Mark said smiling. "Why not when you get back you can see if you can hang out with Mike?",.

"That's the thing Mike is on vacation in Ohio", I said frowning.

"They you can play with Chica or Lego or hang out with Ian", Mark said.

"Oh okay", I said. Matt woke up and we packed all of the blankets back into the car and drove home. We pulled in just in time as Mike was about to leave so I jumped out of the car and gave Mike a hug before he left which he was thankful for. I goodbye to the car Mike was in as he drove away. Then I helped Mark with the blankets and then Mark went on with recording. Then the door bell rang.

"I got it", I yelled. I opened the door to see Uncle Wade standing there arms opened and a suitcase by his side.

"WADE, WADE I MISSES YOU IAN WADE IS HERE", I screamed then in a matter of seconds Ian ran down stairs and hugged Wade until Mark threw open his recording room door and ran toward Wade yelling "BUDDY",.

Wade closed his eyes as Mark hugged Wade.

"I ship it", Ian whispered but Mark heard and let go of Wade.

"No Ian it's just that once a roommate always a roommate", Wade corrected.

I laughed. I hugged Wade again and invited him in. Chica greeted Wade with licks on his hands and Lego just barked at Wade but soon came to love Wade. Ryan and Matt were on the living room couch watching Tv and then said hi to Wade.

"So what do you want to do first Mark?", Wade asked.

"The brick thing we talked about", Mark said.

"You knew he was coming?", I asked.

"Yep but I didn't want to tell you", Mark said smiling. Mark turned back to Wade.

"Now listen we are gonna be dropping beer bottles, bricks, concrete on my head", Mark said. "But it's not gonna kill us... I think",.

I gave Ian a worried look but he simply shrugged and went to the kitchen to eat.

Apparently Mark, Wade, Ryan, and Matt were gonna film a slow motion thing that involved bricks being hit on Marks head?! I did not approve but of course Mark did it any way. I watched from inside the sliding glass door as the guys filmed the video and each blow to Marks face sent a shiver down my spine. After the video was down Mark walked inside with dust on his clothing. I hugged him and told him to never do that again?! Mark chuckled and hugged me.

"Now what else do you guys want to do?", I asked. We ended up having dinner with Wade, Ryan, Matt, Ian, and Mark and I at a Mexican place and I ate tacos?! We came home late and Wade, Mark, and I watched football and I fell asleep right in between them. NIGHT?!
