October 10, 2024-Month of Camping: Trip 2

(click for today's pictures)

Graham left first to go to church for his math class. Usually, his class is at Wildwood on Thursdays, but not today. So his was the first trip to the church house of the day.

Robby was pretty close behind him with Campbell and Keaton for Mother's Day Out. Those two girls never got to go to MDO like the older three, so I guess they are getting their turn now-and they are loving it. They are earning just pennies an hour for their summer camps (so really they are getting nothing in return since they aren't getting anything), but they so enjoy it and would do it for free. That was the second trip to the church today.

I did school with the boys. Today I had a bit more time since the girls were gone, but it still wasn't really enough to matter. I really had envisioned me having a super slow day on Thursdays with them gone, but that hasn't happened just yet. 

Soon Robby and Whitman were heading to Lake Degray. They zoomed down here and set up camp. Whitman had to finish his school work quickly and leaving to go camping was a super motivator for him-so I guess we need more camping trips.

I then made trip 3 to the church house to pick up Campbell and Keaton. Then it was back home for a little bit. Anderson left to go to Raymar to work practice tonight. I made grilled cheese for everyone's supper that was at home-the number was dwindling.

Then Campbell, Keaton, and I left. I dropped Keaton off at the church house (trip 4). She was keeping kids tonight. Campbell would have loved to have helped as well, but she had soccer practice so I then drove her to the field. We were a bit early, but she didn't seem to mind.

When she did get out of the car, I did as well and walked around the fields twice-it was over a mile. Then I went back to the church (trip 5) to pick up Keaton. I was about an hour early-I knew that, but figured that I might be able to read better in the church parking lot-I could since the lights really light that place up. I did have to position my car just right so the light would shine through the windows and onto my pages.

Keaton was a little late so we had to hurry to pick up Campbell. We were there in time to go to the bathroom. Then Campbell joined us for our drive to Arkadelphia. Campbell sat in the way back with Keaton sitting in the middle. That just left me up front by myself which was fine since I just listened to my book and had a good time. 

Robby was waiting on us when we arrived, and now the girls are sitting outside with Whitman already bedded down in the camper.
