October 19, 2024-Month of Camping: Trip 3

(click for today's pictures)

This was a fun camping day again. We were up a little bit earlier than yesterday. We had time to walk Bentley for a little bit and visit with everyone, but soon we were leaving Keaton and Whitman to head back to Little Rock.

They opted to stay here-actually, Keaton's words were that she was going to go where ever Bentley went. I think she had a big time here alone-she made Whitman go on a walk, sat outside some, spent some time in the hammock, and played a card game with Lily. Whitman also had a bit time but he was content to stay in the camper.

We zoomed on to Bryant and picked up Campbell at Raymar. Anderson was about to take place in the coaches flag football game so Campbell wasn't too keen on leaving. While her team warmed up, Robby went to get Graham and a tomato for supper. 

We watched her game-the lost 4-3. They were better than the other team, but maybe because they were pushier than the other team. Campbell's teammates like to see just how much they can get away with when it comes to pushing-and today it was a lot. Now, Campbell may be just as pushy as the rest of them, but she usually plays so far away from us that we can barely see when she does have the ball.

Anderson finished up his game, went home and showered before heading down to Lake Catherine. We were not too far behind him. Whitman was quick to get on his costume this evening, and Robby and I took a short walk to see everyone prepping their sites for the evening. 

We had hamburgers and hot dogs for supper. Then it was time to Trick or Treat. I walked with Whitman and Keaton around the campground. This campground is half the size of Maumelle and was pretty much half as festive. However, it was like a small town celebration so it was still perfect.

We started out with the Kamps, but we soon left them-last year we trick or treated at Fort Wilderness where they have 21 loops with some loops having over 80 sites-so Keaton and Whitman know how to get around pretty quickly. This campground probably had about 50 or less campsites giving out candy (Robby just said that last year it was over 800 sites that we went to). 

Keaton also was ready to get back to the camper because she wanted to pass out candy. I though that Whitman would go inside, but he stayed out there with her to help pass out candy. I'm glad that they enjoy doing that. We are on an upper loop so we probably didn't get nearly as many kids as the other spots. 

Robby, Shannon, and I took a walk around the campground when Whitman and Keaton were finished collecting candy. It was fun to see the costumes and decorations-watching all of that was more fun than watching the Razorback game.

Once the Hog game was going very poorly, Anderson decided that it was time to leave. All of the kids went home with him. We thought that he might his construction traffic on the way home, and they did. I think that it slowed them down about 30 minutes, but they still made it home safely.

After they left, we turned the Hogs game over to the Ouachita game. We were able to see them win their game plus we spotted Reagan on the field celebrating the victory. That was fun-and we probably should have been watching that game instead of the Hogs.

When the game was over, we cleaned up, and there was a lot of cleaning up to do. Robby pretty much just has a tent and a table left out. Other than that, it shouldn't take him too long in the morning. When we came inside, we had a lot of work to do putting things away, but everything is done, and it is time for my shower!
