2008 Spring/Summer Tour - Day 80

I did a show this morning for the stake primary in Plano, which Brent had helped to set up. I did my "Say Yes!!! to Life" assembly show, with some of the same basic principles expanded to include more specifically gospel related references, which the kids in attendance would understand. We weren't sure what kind of audience to expect, as the show had only been confirmed and announced earlier in the week, but there ended up being about 200 people altogether. A lot of parents brought their younger preschoolers and toddlers, and I wasn't sure how the assembly material would work, but we had the elementary aged kids sit up front, as they would at a school, and had the younger kids stay over to the sides with their parents. I was also worried about doing an assembly where there would be a lot of talking points, as I had been up half the night coughing. But any worry was for naught, as it all worked out really well and the show went great.

We went to Brent and Cheryl's afterwards and I got caught up on some internet, which we haven't had consistently for a few days... there were lots of bills to pay and e-mails to reply to, etc. Roseann made some alligator meat that we bought in Baton Rouge for dinner. Daniel was hesitant to eat any of his favorite reptile, but Roseann convinced him that since "you are what you eat", he could actually gain some of the attributes of an alligator by eating some. She was just being silly, and being a teenager, Daniel knew better, but it worked, anyway, and once he tried a bite he went back for all of the biggest pieces. After dinner, Roseann and I played Pandemic with Brent and Daniel (we actually won both games, but the first was on the "easy" level) while the girls played Don't Break the Ice and Tier auf Tier and watched a movie with Audrey.
