The Park on Sunday morning - picnic.
The puddle of children had woken in the morning and asked to go to the park. After feeding them - and shooing the teenager out of his kitchen so he could have the privilege of making breakfast - Hernando walked them all to the park.
The children knew the way and it wasn't that Hernando was any sort of helicopter parent except yes, perhaps today a little bit, he was. Sparkle was making a quick dash into town to put a 'closed today on account of children' sign on the door of his store but planned to join them later.
Hernando had packed an entire antique picnic basket full of food and snacks and put Quinn to work hauling a rolling cooler behind them. The children had acted as if this were a usual thing and that made Hernando smile a bit. Abney was wearing the folded picnic blanket as a superhero cape and was running ahead with her arms out, making zooming plane noises.
There was way more food than the children would need, even if one was a growing teenager. To his rueful chagrin, Hernando found that the store had decided to help when he spread the blanket out and began to unpack. The basket never seemed to empty. He set out only enough plates of sandwiches and baskets of fruit for the moment and let the children go run. There were thermoses of tea and sodas and waters in the cooler as well.
Once free of her superhero cape, Abney lead the way to the playground and commenced burning off the energy. Quinn was more interested in reading a book but he, too, occasionally joined his sister in playing.
[Open park with picnic food! Come let the kids play together!]

"Well, Sparkle's gotta Sparkle, right?"
His hearrrrrrt.
"You want a push, or should I get into another swing?"

"Pushing," Sparkle said immediately. "I have to help you set the bar!"
And, you know, quality time with a kid who would no doubt be gone tomorrow. Who possibly might not ever happen, at that.
So, pushing.

She giggled suddenly, realizing. "You-here doesn't remember when you first saw me jump off a swing. You screamed a little and tried to catch me cuz you didn't know I'd done it on purpose."

"What? That totally sounds like something Papa would do," Sparkle accused. "Couldn't have been me!"
... Would absolutely have been him.
"Did I make it?"
