Robby was up first this morning. He left the house before I got out of bed (don't judge-I had done all of my work yesterday). He picked up Grannymom and then headed towards Ozark. After eating lunch out, they went to a restored cemetery and were able to visit with some family members. He didn't get back until almost five this evening.
My first task this morning was waking up Anderson at 9. Now, he had laid out a few things to pack last night, but since he is an adult now going off to college, I had to let him do things his way. I would have preferred that he make a detailed list two days before, then laid out clothes and things while checking off the list, and finally methodically packing each of the items.
That, of course, is what I would have done. It is also what the girls pretty much did-maybe I have raised them right or maybe that is just a girl thing. However, by 9:30 Anderson was holding the list I had made it his hand while walking down the stairs with all of his things packed so I can't complain.
The boys were all awake with Anderson packing-well, Whitman was pretending to be asleep. Then I woke up Campbell to tell her that we would be leaving in an hour. She usually has alarms set and is up when she wants to be, but I guess the time this morning snuck up on her. She still had plenty of time but had to have me make her a grilled cheese.
I dropped off the big kids at church. I took the obligatory pre drop off camp picture. They were all excited to go, and on the way home someone sent a picture of Anderson's group when they were in the sixth grade at camp. He looks so much like Whitman-I have posted it so you will be able to see it. There was talk that maybe those boys would recreate it this week.
I hurried home, and soon I was back to church to drop off Whitman, Keaton, and Sophia. I stuck around a little bit longer this time-until one of Whitman's friends had arrived. Then I left and went towards Dollar Tree. We had watched a video about Dollar Tree where they mentioned some of the deals and neat things that they had-well, none of those things are at the store where I stopped.
I was then home for a bit more time, but soon Robby came rolling in. He didn't take him long to change and load a few more things. Then he was pulling out in the camper. I moved the suburban under the camper barn and then left in the white van.
I stopped by Nonna and Pops' house to pick up some pork tenderloin on my way. That became our supper when we ate this evening. By the time that I got there, Robby had just finished leveling and most of his hooking up.
The rain was starting, but we were able to take a short walk around our little loop before coming in. Then they rain really began, and it has rained steadily all evening long. We have eaten, and I have read and crocheted and soon there will be ice cream!
