October 17, 2026: The Month of Camping-Trip 3

(Click for today's pictures) 

I went to sleep last night at 10:30-what in the world? That is a few hours earlier than usual for me, and it was absolutely wonderful. I might even go to sleep that early tonight too. Of course, after all of that sleep you would have thought that I woke up early, but I did not!

We snoozed this morning until we had to hurry to get around. Robby had EEE Dad's day so I drove him to OBU and then came back to the campground. He found Reagan, and they ate tacos and participated in a corn hole tournament. There were quite a few people there, but I think that it was a little more relaxed than mom's day so they had fun.

I met them back at Reagan's dorm. Whitman opted to skip the ballgame today. Robby and I used Pops' tickets and found our way to their seats. We also used their parking pass, and I think that we got the last spot in the special parking lot-we were there a little bit late. 

Reagan was skipping the game, Graham was working the jumpys, and Anderson was cheering with his friends. It took us a while to find Anderson, and when Graham was finished he did come and talk to us. After we were sitting down, we did notice that Graham's girlfriend was on the aisle across from us-so when Graham came up to see us, he had a choice to make: mother or girlfriend. He made the right one-me! 

The good boy did visit with us for a few minutes, and then he quickly found Brooklyn and went to eat with her. Meanwhile, Anderson never even made it up to see us. I'm only kidding though because those boys are having the time of their lives....as I'm afraid their midterm grades will reflect!

Robby and I stayed for a few minutes of the third quarter before leaving the game. We then walked the Desoto Bluff Trail-this is where Pops talked about boys bringing girls to see the submarine races when he was in college at Ouachita. (Google told me that is a mid twentieth century term for making out.)

The trail was just a quarter of a mile to the end. It overlooked the river-possibly the caddo river, but there was a really nice pavilion at the end of the trail. It was really a neat spot-Anderson new about it, but I'm not sure if Reagan or Graham have walked it.

Once we were back at the camper, we walked the dogs and then played a few more rounds of Mahjong. Robby won one, and I won one. I think that we almost talked Whitman in to learning but maybe another day.

We then walked the dogs a bit more before coming in and making supper (frozen french bread pizzas) and watching the hogs. Whitman and I made corn husks dolls since that was a project from his history box. Now, the ice cream has been pulled out of the fridge!
