• Since Graham's retainers (yes, 2) were lost somewhere in Florida at Beach Camp, today was the day to go for a replacement. This is the first appointment that I could get that he would be home for, so of course with all of this passing time, his teeth have shifted quite a bit.
• Thankfully, they just charged me for one retainer and not two. And we no longer will take retainers to camp or probably really out of the house or camper. Luckily for Graham, we don't pick up his retainers for about another two weeks so Graham has another few weeks of a retainer break.
• Afterwards, we headed to Mardels to look for Graham a new Bible. We found one that he wanted, but it was half price on Amazon so we placed an order there before we walked out of the store. On the way home, we stopped by Sonic very quickly-though I am not sure if losing retainers deserve a reward.
• The kids weren't home too long until they all loaded up with Robby to go to church. Robby drove the van full of Reagan, Anderson, Graham, Campbell, Kennedy, and Alyssa to the church house. He went along so he could drive Grannymom's car back to their house. 
• The kids then headed on to a Traveler's baseball game today. Anderson was the only one who came home a little bit burned but he also came home with a ball. I think that they had a good time since they told us all about it when they came home.
• While they were gone, I took Keaton and Whitman to the pool. I did some reading while they did a lot of swimming. I came home with 2 extra girls for a little bit. The girls played some games, including poker, and spent some time on the trampoline.
• We took the friends home, and then came home to start making supper. I made most folks air fryer pizzas. Keaton did have leftovers from last night, Campbell had eaten chickfila later in the afternoon so she skipped supper, and even though Reagan had a salad she still had some salad.
• We watched some of our tv show tonight, and Keaton and Whitman were happy that we were watching a few episodes. I think that Whitman likes us watching tv because he thinks that he can stay up later when we watch tv-though we are always staying up later around here.
