Gulf Island Life

Braden, being a military man, needed to keep fit (deployments were always a thing and well...technically, he could be called up at any time) so what better than to utilize the new pull-up bar to increase his upper body strength? Especially toning was accomplished by the one-handed pull-up which was perhaps the most difficult exercise routine that one could do mainly as one was pulling their entire body weight up with one hand.

Both Karina and Katrina were at school and after-school; they needed to get their homework done so they turned around and utilized the school-grounds to get it done. From there, Karina headed home and Katrina had to head over to the grocery store for some research. After all getting the report done on local businesses was definitely needed to ensure that she had a good grade at school. Tania ran by saying "See you tomorrow at school", to her cousins. Well, what can one say. Nearly three-quarters of the Cape Garner Island population were related to her in one way or another.

Haruo took some time to play ping-pong with his daughter, Brianna who was enjoying her time off from work as an Assistant Principal of Cape Garner Primary/Elementary and Secondary school.

There was yet another request for a run to the hospital with yet another crocodile (Snapper; this time) because their science center (which was located in the same building) wanted yet another crocodilian. Joys of joys. At least this time, it would get rid of the other crocodile that was left in Haruo's possession. You realize that crocodiles eat a lot; not mentioning the severed limbs risk.

When Haruo came home, he started in on dinner. At least the kitchen was bright and workable; there was space to move around in. And you could see what it was that you were doing at the kitchen counter.

River fielded a phone call from a relative who was chatty. After all it was certainly worth it to talk to relatives because who else would be there for you if you needed someone to talk to?

After making dinner; Haruo set about doing some sculpting.

Cape Garner Island was definitely the comfortable place that they had longed for to live in. Privacy abounded; no one was up in everyone's else's business; everyone minded their own and it made for a peace that River and Haruo had longed for all their lives.

After Braden got home from work, he went out and drove some shots on the golf shooting range.

As the sun set on another day in Cape Garner Island...

The Chikamoris went to sleep, content that they had made the right choice to move to the island to live.
