October 12, 2024-Month of Camping: Trip 2

(click for today's pictures)

We had to wake up a little bit early this morning so we could get breakfast made. Robby cooked quite a bit of bacon plus egg in the holes and chocolate chip pancakes. It was all delicious, and the kids certainly enjoyed it. We don't cook a lot of camping breakfasts, but it is one of our favorite things. 

One thing that is not my favorite thing is allergies. My eyes have itched most of the day today. They will bother me for a few days and then quit despite taking daily allergy medicine. We actually have some good eye drops in the camper which I had forgotten about until tonight, so maybe they will help me.

Anyway, after breakfast, we didn't have a whole lot of time at the campground because it was time to go to the football game. Robby dropped me off. and I bought tickets. Then we found Shannon and found our seats. We were able to get seats in the shade so that made most of the game pleasant.

Reagan came up and saw us for a little bit which was fun. It was right before half time, and then she left to go back to her dorm. I bet that these kids are so tired! The sun did start moving towards the end of the ball game, so we kept moving up a row at a time until we eventually just moved to the car. Ouachita was pretty far ahead of the other team, so it was fine to leave early.

We then came back to the campground for a little bit. Robby and Graham watched football, and I tried to read, but soon I was napping in my lawn chair. Robby and I eventually did get out and run some errands-mystery shops-around Arkadelphia. They were even having their Festival of the Arts so we walked through that. We are all cultural like that-not really, but it was something to do, and it was surprisingly small.

We came back with pizza for the crew. While they ate, we packed up all of the outside things. It didn't take long, and Whitman even offered to help so we put him to work. Once we were all in the camper, we played the game of Billionaire. It is a fun little game which didn't take too long-Keaton dominated. 

After the game, I made s'mores for everyone. Now they have all had their showers, and Robby and I are about to walk Bentley before we climb into the bed. 

Campbell and Anderson went to Raymar early this morning. Anderson had to work, and Campbell did put in one hour at the concession stand, but she just loves it out there. I'm pretty sure that after Raymar they had a slow day, but I bet that they enjoyed a quiet house.
