Eric Herman - Travelblogue: 2008 Spring/Summer Tour

We stayed in the bus this morning and the girls worked on their computers. Becca got another dollar from the Tooth Fairy but was hoping that it might be $1.25 considering that we are in Texas now instead of Louisiana. Mommy had told her that she had only received 25 cents from the Tooth Fairy when she was little, and Becca knew that Roseann grew up in Washington, so she assumed that the going rate might be different from state to state. We had to explain to her about "inflation".

We went shopping and ran some errands, then went over to Brent and Cheryl's before dinner time. After dinner, we had family home evening and Becca gave the lesson on temptation, using the story of when Jesus was tempted after fasting in the desert. She needed a little coaching, but did very well. She loves to share things she's learned about and is a great teacher.

After the lesson, we played some parlor games. The first was sort of like musical chairs, except one person stands in the middle of the room and says something that they've never done (i.e. "I've never flown in a helicopter", "I've never been to Europe", etc.) and then anybody who has done that thing has to get up and switch seats, leaving someone else standing in the middle. That was a lot of fun, and the girls really loved the frantic running to a new seat, even though they didn't always understand what they were supposed to be doing. Evee, for example, got up and ran to a new seat when someone said, "I've never been married". The second game we played involved someone picking a subject that had several (but not too many) possible answers and then writing their own answer on a piece of paper. They would then walk around the room holding a squirt bottle full of water and everyone would give an answer. Whoever guessed the answer they had chosen, or repeated an answer already given, would get a squirt in the face.

It was late when we left, so the girls went right to bed when we got back to the RV park. We finished off our laundry and watched the movie Flawless, which was okay.
