October 11, 2024-Month of Camping: Trip 2

(click for today's pictures)

This was certainly a fun day. It started this morning with us staying in bed for a good while-Robby worked while I read. Then we took Bentley for a walk around the other loop. We went over a mile, and it was warmer on our walk than it was for the rest of the day. 

We came back and started stirring the kiddos. We really didn't have much time until it was time to leave to see Reagan. We know that we have all been missing Reagan, but we also know that Reagan has been missing Bentley. 

The campus was pretty crazy this afternoon with a band, the marching band, cheerleaders, all kinds of booths plus the cafeteria food was all outside as well. There were people everywhere, but when Reagan got Bentley's attention, that dog has never wagged her tail so much. She was definitely happy to see Reagan, but she was also overwhelmed with all that there was to see.

Keaton, Campbell, and Reagan stayed outside while Reagan finished her lunch, while Robby, Whitman, and I went to the bookstore. I snatched up a sweatshirt on clearance, but we could not find Robby anything at all. I'm not sure who does their buying, but they needed some more men shirts for sure.

We then visited with Reagan a little bit more, before walking her to work. Afterwards, we ran to Sonic for drinks for the crew, and then to Walmart. There Robby did find a shirt, plus we also picked up some garlic powder-we hadn't been able to find it at home. 

Then it was back to the campsite for us. We had some downtime-Robby worked, I read, and the kids put up a hammock. Soon Grannymom, Grandpa, Graham, and Anderson arrived and not too far behind them was Jason, Pops, and Nonna. 

We all had time to visit, and then Robby started on supper. We had our chicken tacos plus quesadillas. I think that everyone enjoyed the meal. I opened some salsa which was delicious so I could have eaten just that on some tortillas. I pulled out all of the stops with my desert too-packaged cookies.

After a bit, it was time to head to Ouachita for our first Tiger Tunes in a few decades. This year was difference since Reagan was in it-she was apart of the Student Life organization. Tiger Tunes is so popular, and I can remember going as a student. Reagan's group were cars, and it was cute. Reagan said that theirs wasn't the best one there, but I can definitely say that it was not the worst one by far. There were some really cute shows which made the evening go by fairly quickly.

When it was over, we were able to find Reagan out front-it was kind of wild out there. We took some pictures with Reagan, and then released her to her friends. Robby and I retrieved the cars and picked up most of the people. Then Anderson and Campbell took Grannymom and Grandpa home. They just pulled into the driveway at 11:53. 

We made it back to the camper before the rest of them made it home. Robby and I took a walk around the loop with Bentley, and we all had some ice cream to celebrate the day.
