Last night when Robby and I went in, we had decided to leave all of our outside things out so we could take or time and neatly put them away this morning. They had also been wet yesterday so this would also give them time to dry out. Now, if you know us, you also know that this is a bit hard for us to do since we usually almost completely pack up the night before we head home.
Instead, we did work on the inside of the camper, straightening and putting everything away. It didn't take us an hour, but it did take us a good while to get everything done.
This morning I was slowly getting ready when I heard things on the roof-I assumed it was leaves and acorns dropping, until I realized it was way too many for that-it was rain! And not just rain, heavy rain. We had left chairs out and not under the tents last night-things were just left a mess, and then they were a wet mess.
Robby and I went to work grabbing what we could and shoving it into the white van. We were pretty wet by the time that the rain stopped. He worked mostly on the cords while I made trip after trip to the van. The ground was wet and slippery while wearing my crocs, but I didn't fall which was a good thing.
The Wilsons came out soon and went to work on their things. Robby just had his tents left which we put up, and soon we were driving away. Robby stopped at the gas station on the way home. When I made it home, I started taking everything out of the van and laying it in the garage.
Once the van was emptied, we went to work on emptying the camper. It didn't take too long though we haven't cleaned it yet. We then met the kids at Nonna and Pops' house for Sunday lunch. They all had been to church.
Pops blew out his birthday candles today and opened a few presents. We all visited for a little bit, and then Robby, Reagan, and I ran to Old Navy to pick up some jeans for Reagan. I ran in and ran out picking up her order, and then we headed home.
Reagan went to work packing up from the weekend while Campbell and Keaton tried to take their Sunday afternoon naps, but they weren't able to until after Reagan did leave. Robby and I got busy moving things outside to dry in the sun and then putting them away.
Reagan left around 4 and made her way back to Arkadelphia. Anderson then left not too much longer with everyone else-Keaton and Whitman had their life group which I later picked then up from while Campbell, Graham, and Anderson had their life group down the road.
After I picked up Keaton and Whitman, Robby and I took our leftovers to the Wilson's house, and we ate and visited until the end of the weekend. Now, it is time to get these kids in bed so we can start the week!
