• Robby, Graham, and I left at 8 this morning to head to Arkadelphia for Tiger Day. Graham went with us last year when Anderson went to Tiger Day, but this year was just for him. We stopped to get gas on the way but were still there in plenty of time. 
• This was my third Tiger Day, and my 7th college visit with the kids, but this was Robby's first Tiger Day. It began in Berry Chapel, but then we moved to academic sessions. This was a smaller group there today, so when we stood to go to the humanities department to learn more about communications, we were the only ones headed that way. 
• That worked out well for Graham because we were able to learn all about communications and the different emphasis that you could have in that major. It was a great visit. Now, we don't know if Graham will choose communications or not, but we do have a lot more information about it.
• After that part of the day, Graham went to the student part where he won the question game about Ouachita. It did help that he was there last year. He won a bag, notebook, beach towel, water bottle, and a few pens. 
• We met up for lunch which was delicious. Reagan even found us-she text to tell me that she was coming-so Robby and I filled our plates full for her to eat some of ours. A bit later we saw her again while we were on our tour. We skipped out on the rest of the tour and had Reagan buy us a smoothie with her lunch money. 
• While we headed home, I would bet that the kids left here (Whitman especially) did some scrambling to finish his school work. It looked like everything had been done when I came in, plus they checked some of their math so I didn't have too much to check this afternoon.
• Jennifer and Stuart dropped by with a huge meal from our Sunday school class. It was from Tacos for Life, and it was plenty of food and fed all of us plus Grannymom, Cash, and Dana with lots of leftovers for tomorrow.
• Anderson went to work all afternoon getting ready for the first night of Upward Soccer. Before he went to work, he took Campbell to work this afternoon. This was also Keaton and Whitman's first soccer practice. Their coach let practice out a bit early since a yummy supper was waiting on him. (Their coach is Robby.)
• After picking up Robby, I came home for a bit, and then left with Graham and Campbell. We ran two of Robby's errands and then went to Grannymom's house and unloaded the food. Robby, Keaton, and Whitman showed up, and we all ate!
• When we came home, Graham had a bit of school work to do, and I made a dessert for tomorrow. That all didn't leave much couch time for us this evening, but soon we will head to bed-and maybe that is better than the couch.
