This weekend had such potential. On Saturday the kids all went to a youth group event at SkyZone in Fort Wayne, so they were gone from 2 until 7 pm. Beth is starting to ramp up her soup business so after we dropped the kids off at church we did some quick shopping at Menard’s for jars and such, then she started working on soup. Since she was doing that I hitched up the camper (with the pool strapped on top of it) and towed it to the storage unit I rented this past week. It took over an hour to get it into the unit (and a long time to drive there very slowly with the pool in tow), and I didn’t get it in until someone stopped to help me. The ground is gravel and a bit sloped, and the unit has a pretty good bump up that I couldn’t get the camper rolled past. No room to back it in, either. But once someone stopped to help we got it pushed right in. So I am looking forward to being able to garage the truck this winter. When I got home with a couple hours left in our afternoon off Beth was done with soup and wanted to go out for sushi. That’s all. Later on in the evening, I took the girls to the annual haunted house down at the fairgrounds, which I must say was pretty impressive and larger in scope than I would have imagined. Natalie and I went through it; Missy went with us to the fair but waited for us at the entrance. Not that she was scared, she just didn't want to go, but I told the kids we'd get ice cream afterwards if they went. Alex wouldn't even go for that. Today, we skipped church because Alex didn’t sleep well because of his cold, and they were all pretty tired anyway. So I spent a few hours working to cut up the fallen limb. It was less wood cut up than it looked like as a limb, so it wasn’t so hard to load it into the truck and haul it away to the Harrison’s.
