Today was a school day for the three older kids (Addison - 9, Kaden - 7, Bryson - 5) and Larry had to work, so the first part of the day was quiet. Laurel did a load of laundry while I pumped up the truck tires (enough about tires) and bought fuel and a propane cylinder for our grill. Then we played games with four year old Teryn. I played a game of checkers with her and had to work at it to win, not that I am skilled at the game. She showed an amazing use of strategy for her age.
After the kids got home from school, we loaded the bikes in their truck and drove to a new development about 1o miles east that is full of paved and boardwalk trails. The development is going poorly, so there are very few homes and rental tenants. The trails were ours to use.
After the bike ride, we drove down to a light house out on a point. It is on Eglin AFB property. We walked on the beach which, according to a person we met there, has eroded about 8 feet in the last year. Trees that are down on the beach were standing on the shore.
We got home just after sunset and Kelli made chicken corn chowder, a very tasty soup.
We watched some baseball and Monday night football before heading to camp. The Gardners next visitor from home will be Kelli's parents, Jim and Betty Patterson, at Thanksgiving.
