This was a very fun day. We started the morning with breakfast. Robby made chocolate chip pancakes and egg in the holes while Tony had biscuits, bacon, sausage, and hashbrowns. It was all delicious, and we ate enough to cause us to not need lunch.
We walked the dogs for a little bit, and then we left for Ouachita. We found a parking spot, and then we found all of the kids. It took us a bit to find Graham, but it was nice to see everyone. We visited for a while, took some pictures, and stopped at the book store.
Our next stop was Sonic for drinks for everyone. When we got back to the camper, we sat outside and started to play Mahjong. We played Mahjong and ate snacks most of the afternoon long. It was pretty perfect.
We all had to stop to get ready for this evening. Robby had already taken Keaton to the Lodge to meet Grannymom. Keaton is spending the night with Grannymom, and Nonna, Pops, and Jason are also all in the Lodge tonight.
Soon they all arrived back at the camper for our supper. Robby and I had chicken and beef tacos for supper. We, of course, had way too much but here's a note to next year's Robby and Tara (heat the meats up in a crock pot and not the griddle-it will be much easier.)
After eating, we cleaned up, changed clothes, and headed to Tiger Tunes. Anderson's group went first, and Reagan is also a sweatheart for his group so she was in that performance as well. (Actually, the Ettas weren't really first, but they were the first ones that mattered for us.) They were pinatas and did spectacular. It was a cute show, and maybe I'm bias, but I think they might just win.
And let's talk about my children tonight-we aren't really sing, dance, wave your arm around type of people. However, Anderson was having the time of his life singing and dancing on the stage tonight. Reagan has swinging a bat at the pinatas while she was grinning ear to ear. And Graham, later in the evening, was dancing and even had a speaking part. Watching them have the best time was what made Tiger Tunes so fun for us.
Next up was Reagan's show. They were chickens, and though I'm not really clear about what their show story was, their costumes and choreography was really good. Graham was in campus ministries, and their show was Exodus so they were Israelites. It was neat, and even though they haven't won any awards, I think that their show was one of the better ones (because there were a few that were not that great at all-I tell the girls often "there are things that we speak, and things that we speak"-maybe I should take that advice and speak less.)
Anderson's group won 3 awards tonight while Reagan's group won 2 so they both have good chances of winning. When Tunes was over, we found everyone in front of Cone Bottoms and took quite a few pictures. It was a pleasant evening and was fun to see the kids with their friends.
It was after 11 when we made it back to the camper. We took the dogs on a little walk, and now we are getting ready for bed. Tomorrow will be a little slower....maybe?
