Bootsey and Bobby Jo, Isaac and Wendell went outside to play again on that Wednesday afternoon.  
I think they stayed much closer to the house than usual, though. 

At bedtime, just as Isaac was thinking Aunt Holly hadn't even scolded them about their picnic, she closed the book they were reading and hugged them all very close.
"Bootsey, dear, I love you and Bobby Jo so much."  Aunt Holly said softly. 
"The next time you decide to go adventuring, won't you please take me along? 
Things are always so much nicer when we aren't alone and afraid.  
Don't you think so?"
Bootsey and Bobby Jo nodded and snuggled closer to Aunt Holly while she finished reading their story.  Then, happy and sleepy after their long and exciting day, everyone went to put on their jammies and get ready for bed.
