This morning Luke came and got us out of bed. After breakfast we drove up to Monteagle to spend the day with my family. First we went to the farm on campus to see the goats and walk around Lake Cheston. Back at the cottage Luke played with the train set and then we had lunch. After lunch my parents, Lauren, and Wild Dog left, and we went to see the house I’m working on. Luke helped take the paper off the windows and picked up a lot of scrap wood off the porches. After returning to the cottage and packing up, we drove home via Fayetteville and Lewisburg. I packed up and drove back to Monteagle so I can work tomorrow.

We started the day with Legos and pancakes. Then we played some more, video chatted with my mother and Lauren, ate lasagna, read, video chatted with Liz’s parents, then my parents again, had dinner, and did the bed time routine. Unfortunately the rain kept us inside.

This morning Liz made pancakes while Luke and I played. After breakfast Luke and I worked to replace defective smoke alarms. That didn’t go too well, as I am going to have to do more work on the wiring than expected. Next we hung lights on the front porch for Liz. Since the weather was nice we went for a hike at Yanahli Park. Luke brought his “claw” and found all sorts of cool things. Back at home we ate lunch and played for most of the afternoon. Unfortunately it started raining so we didn’t go outside. Luke ate a lot at dinner and went to bed without too much fuss. I know he was tired since he didn’t have a nap. I’ll chat with Liz for a bit before driving up to Monteagle.
