tara and shawn arrive (143/365b)

So fun to see Tara and Shawn again today!

All morning Theodore and Henry couldn't figure out what to be excited about. They were packing to go off to a day of camp with the asp, and Henry still needed a new sleeping bag. Brian took felix to get his cast renewed, and Nina came over briefly. Then he went for a run, and got a willhaben sleeping bag, and picked up Tara and Shawn from the train station. They passed each other on the platform somehow, but then found each other again.

Theodore and Henry wanted to show everything, do everything, eat and make and talk and explain, but they also really wanted to leave. They packed everything up, i took them there in the lastenrad, 

all packed:
violin, djembe, cello, umbrella, sleeping bags, smiles

and then headed away to the sound of theodore explaining to henry that he doesn't ever feel homesick.

There were unbelievable thunderstorms all night. i alternated between feeling like "eh, i trust fritz, they're totally fine" and "i hope they're ok, and dry, and not scared, and that they didn't leave their instruments out."
