It was another very good camping day. We slept in a little bit, but the kids were really the first ones out of the camper. We heated up some leftover breakfasts for everyone, and before too long it was time to head to the Battle of the Ravine.
Last year we struggled to find seats so this year we headed to the Henderson campus around 11-two hours before the game. We found a great parking spot and were surprised at how few people were already in the stadium. About 15 minutes later there were many people pouring into the stadium.
It seemed a bit long before the game started, but it was nothing like how long the concession stand line was. The Ouachita crowd probably doubled the Henderson crowd so the visitor's side probably doesn't have huge concession stand lines. Graham and Whitman waited in line for an entire quarter for the game.
The weather was beautiful, but we were sitting in the direct sun light so we will all be pretty red tomorrow. Keaton and Whitman went to sit in the shade, and when we walked around to check on them, it was so much cooler-I would have had to bundle up to sit there.
The game was close, and thankfully, it didn't go into overtime-I mean, thankfully, Ouachita won. When it was over, we ran a few errands before heading back to the campsite. I had already made my 2 recipes of taco soup plus Shannon had 3 recipes. There was also cheese dip, cornbread, smores, banana pudding, oreo delight, cookies, and candy. Robby also used 4 loafs of bread making grilled cheese sandwiches for everyone. We just about needed all of the food that we had since we fed over 35 people this evening.
Brett brought some friends, and Reagan brought some friends as well. I had met some of her friends, but I think that she had a few new ones here tonight as well. The fire was going strong so it was fairly warm, and it was just a really fun evening and a good ending to our camping trip.
There is a slight possibility of rain in the morning, so we put every single thing up today. The kids do add a lot more stuff and bodies to our minimal square feet of living space when camping, but they also can be super helpful. Tonight they certainly helped out a lot as we had to pack up all the outside stuff. But it is 11, and everyone is now in bed so I am about to take my shower in a few minutes and then call it a night.
