Wallace's Wonderful Adventure: Home--Friday

Thank goodness I checked my e-mail first thing this morning. Todd told us he was having Manuel and Fredy over for dinner and they would be there when we skyped. I jumped in the shower and got ready. Otherwise I would have had bed head and been in my pj's. That would have been very embarrassing. We talked to Todd.

Its fishing day at camp so Cameron asked Grandpa to take him outside to practice casting the fishing pole. Cameron and Grandpa discussed the proper things to do while fishing. Cameron did a great job casting. I then ran Cameron to camp. It started raining a little on the way. On my way home it was lightening pretty bad and getting rather dark. I was a little nervous about Cameron. I received a text from Joanette telling me the kids were on the bus not able to fish because of lightening. Bummer. About 20 minutes later she sent me a picture of Cameron fishing so they were finally able to do it.

Cameron and Grandpa discussing fishing techniques.

Practicing casting.

Discussing the weight on the line and its purpose.

Sunset Marina fishing in the Mississippi River.

Looks like he is having fun.

No fish so sticks became more fun to play with.

I picked Cameron up at 11:30 and we stopped at Toys R Us to see if they had the new Lego Batman game. They did but then we saw Skylanders. This is a new game that you have to buy separate "guys" and put them on a portal so they can morf into the game. The lady at the store got so excited telling us about it. Then a random dad asked if we needed help because has Skylander and 3 kids so he knew what we needed. It was so nice of those 2 people to help us. Plus, they were on sale. $213 later we were walking to the car. Yikes.

We drove to McGuire's to hang out with them for the afternoon. The kids played and Karen and I solved all the worlds problems. 2:45 we headed back into East Moline. I dropped Cameron off at my parents and I went to the foot dr. The pedicure lady in China said she wanted to cut my toenail off and put medicine on it but I decided I would see a dr. in America instead. Don't quite trust her.

I picked my mom up at 4:00 and we ran to my cousin Deb's house. Her son had a baby girl 3 months ago and they were in town. Jaylee is really cute. We stayed there for about 45 minutes and then had to get home to get ready to go out to dinner.

We dropped Cameron off at my brothers so him, Grace, and Griffin could hang out. Dane and Taylor ended up being there as well. Scott, Kelly, Me, and my parents went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. It was really good. While we were in the restaurant a storm blew in. We had already paid the bill but we decided to have another drink to wait the rain out. We then stopped at Doc Inn's for a drink then headed home. It was about 11:30 when we got back to my brothers. The kids were still up. They put a movie in at 1:30 and stayed up until 3 is what Cameron said.
