DNA or Nurture

Family weekend part 2

The next day Liz and Kathleen wake up at seven in the morning and get ready for the day. Then they go into the guest room where Harper and Harvey are sleeping.

"Harper, Harvey, wake up." Liz tells them

"It's time to get up." Kathleen added

The two groaned sleepily. "Tired." Harper mumbled

Liz lightly patted Harper and Harvey, "It's time to get up though. Auntie Kat and I planned a fun day for both of you." Then she added, "Harvey, you'll be with me. Dress in clothes that can get dirty."

"And Harper, you'll be with me." Kathleen stated "Wear whatever you like. It doesn't matter."

Harper and Harvey laid in bed for a while, but eventually got up. Harper showered first and then Harvey showered while his sister got dressed. After both were dressed and ready to go with teeth brushed and hair combed, they walked downstairs.

"What's for breakfast, Aunties?" Harvey asked

"What would you two like for breakfast?" Kathleen inquired

Harper and Harvey both shrugged. "Surprise us." Harper stated

Kathleen nods as Liz gets started on preparing some eggs, bacon, and sausage while Kathleen puts a couple slices of bread in the toaster. About ten minutes later when the bacon and sausage are done Liz sets two plates of food on the counter. One for Harper and one for Harvey.

"Thanks Aunties." Harvey said before starting to eat his food

Harper smiles gratefully and then starts eating too.

Later after the twins finished eating Liz and Kathleen went their separate ways with Liz taking Harvey and Kathleen taking Harper. They both got into their cars and set off towards the directions of their adventures. In Liz's car, after she's been driving for about thirty minutes, Harvey starts getting bored.

"Auntie Liz, are we there yet?" Harvey whined

"Almost. Just a few more minutes, bud." Liz replied

Harvey sighed softly, "Okay Auntie Liz."

Meanwhile with Kathleen and Harper, Kathleen pulls into the parking lot and parks her car in front of the nail salon.

"Okay we're here." Kathleen tells her niece

Harper looks out through the windshield and smiles excited, "We're getting out nails done! That's so cool. I've never had my nails done before."

"Never?" Kathleen asked shocked

"Well there was one time when I was four, but my brother did them so I doesn't count." Harper stated "We were playing dress up."

Kathleen nodded, "Okay well let's go inside then."

Then Kathleen and Harper got out of the car and walked into the nail salon. While waiting for their turn, they picked out the colors they wanted. Harper looked at the shelves in awe of how many choices of nail polish there were. Kathleen decided right away that she would get pink on her fingernails and a french pedicure. Harper, however took longer to decide, but eventually she made a decision.

"Did you decide?" Kathleen inquired

Harper nodded, "Yes. I want a white base with a blue and yellow painted ribbon on my fingernails for down syndrome awareness since my brother has down syndrome, and green on my toes."

"Those are good choices." Kathleen commented

Back with Liz and Harvey, they have finally arrived at their destination and are getting out of the car. Harvey is staring at the trail.
