- Another morning with Whitman sleeping in late. It is Tuesday, and I have pretty much exhausted my weekly list of chores plus I am knocking out other random things on my list. School is ready for the next few weeks, and I will finish two books tomorrow.
- I do have a painting project that I started today and hope to finish tomorrow. Plus I have thought about organizing everything that Reagan is taking to college, but I think she needs to do that. Thankfully, Whitman and I have a few more big activities to do over the next few days.
- Today we went to the movies. He loves the movies, and since this was Inside Out 2, he told me all about the first movie. His explanation was so thourough that I felt that I had seen the first one. We got popcorn for free, and even smuggled in some candy and a coke.
- After the movie we picked up Sonic for our supper, and then we played a game while eating. Tonight we played a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory game.
- Last night Reagan and Anderson went to the Vegas strip and walked around. Reagan really enjoyed it and even said it was like NYC. Today they went to Hoover Dam. I think that they have a VBS that they do each day.
- Robby and Graham went to a homeless village and did some yard work. They also went to a laundomat and talked to some people. Robby rewarded his van full of kids a Sonic drink on the way back.
- And Campbell and Keaton had a lot of rain near St. Louis where they are. So much rain that Campbell sent me a video of her walking through water inside of a building. The Civic Center where the girls stay had some pretty good flooding. They sleep on the 3rd floor so it didn't effect them too much.
- They did spend the morning trying to get things off the floor and help the Civic Center people. The boys stay at another place, and they lost power for a bit. The leader even tried to get to the girls at some point this morning but the roads were so bad that he could not. It does look like they were able to do some things today-or at least they left the Civic Center eventually.
