The McCoy’s house at dawn.

Michael and Misty, playing catch in the backyard. The only reason they are up at this hour is because they knew their father was arriving from Shang Simla.

Stacey didn’t seem to mind that, and slept in for a while longer. All indications are she doesn’t want to go to school.

Tracey, Allister’s wife, left a little earlier than everyone else because she’s in the Education career and has to get to school first. So Allister is in charge of the kids today. (The girl in the background is Allison, their oldest daughter).

It seems that Allister and Allison had one of their typical father-daughter arguments, which seemed to distress Misty.

Allister looks a little fed up. It’s not easy raising two teenagers and two girls who will soon be teens too, especially when you’ve just come back from a long trip and are exhausted.

And that’s all for now about Sunset Valley. Some other day we’ll revisit the McCoys andthe rest of their neighbors.

Stay tuned because next Saturday we’re going back to Bridgeport with Patrick Orbison. 😉
