This was a pretty busy camping day. Robby and I woke up before everyone else and went outside. Shannon was walking Annie so Bentley and I joined for a little bit. After our walk, Robby was already making Keaton pancakes for her breakfast. I pulled up everything for egg in the hole, and Robby started on making those.
I do think that there is nothing better than a camping breakfast-well, maybe a camping breakfast that you do not have to help cook. But other than that, you can't go wrong with a breakfast at the campground. Our fire was still smoking this morning which made everything that much better. (It was actually still smoking at supper time.)
When we cleaned up breakfast, we had a little bit of time to sit around. Then we loaded up and went to campus to see the kids. It was very festive around campus, and everyone was outside. We quickly found Reagan, then Anderson. Plus we also found Ethan and Brett. We were able to take a few family pictures with all of the college kids.
We even took Bentley, and she certainly enjoyed all of the excitement. I'm not sure if she really cared anything about seeing Reagan or Anderson, but she did get lots of extra pets from people around. I picked up Graham's new shirt from the book store and Keaton found one on the clearance rack.
When we left campus, we stopped at Sonic to redeem our missed drinks from last night. Then it was on to Walmart. I needed bowls for tonight, plus Robby wanted to check on any OBU shirts there. Campbell, Robby, and Whitman ended up with a shirt.
When we came home from Walmart, I read for a few minutes, and then Tony and Shannon came over to visit for a while. Soon Nonna, Pops, Jason, and Grannymom arrived. Robby and I had made soup earlier in the day, and it was pretty warm still when we served it! (scalding hot!)
Not only did we have potato soup, but we also had all the crackers, corn muffins, and pigs in a blanket. I think that we were all full; however, when we came home tonight after the show, my crew must have been famished because we all went to town on the snacks.
After we all finished supper, we cleaned up and headed to Ouachita around 6:30. We arrived just as they opened the doors to the auditorium. We had the sames seats as last year which were very good. Reagan's group, the golfing EEEs, went first. They did very good, but didn't win any awards tonight. Anderson's group was the first one after intermission, the dogs of Campus Minstries, and his group won two awards tonight.
The show was much better than last years-or maybe I enjoyed it more because we had two kids in it-though I never saw Reagan during the EEE's performance, and I only saw Anderson for about 5 seconds at the end of his performance.
We did, however, see them afterwards. We were able to see Reagan and Anderson-they both came to visit with us. It sounded like they had a long evening ahead of them-a cook out and then watching someone get their head shaved.
After all of our snacks back at the camper, we started getting the beds ready. The kids did most of it themselves, but for some reason Bentley has come back to our bed tonight, and she is laying all up in Robby's spot! Maybe one of the kids will coax her to sleep with them!
