Today is almost the day Meg and Cam have been waiting for all summer. It is the day before their week at Camp Crosley. What that means at the Heinisch home is a day of packing. The first priority was to finish all of the laundry. That was harder than it sounded as the washer would not drain properly. We are assuming that was because of all of the rain and a full sump pump. Eventually it did, however, and we were able to get everything gathered.
Meg and Cam were both very helpful today so it only took a couple of hours rather than the full day that it used to. Meg actually did almost all of hers herself. I would give Cam items off of the list to go get and he would be off while I packed what he brought me. My favorite moment was when I asked Cam to get his toothbrush and the holder we use for camp. He came back with Cal's ceramic toothbrush holder. It was a true Brett moment.
While we were packing, Cal spent the afternoon playing golf with Caleb. They were supposed to go tubing with Maddie, but the lake is under a speed warning as the water is unusually high this year. Cal spent yesterday at the zoo with a girl that he is talking to. He was happy with his day and was proud of the yellow and green shoes he found at Goodwill while they were shopping.
Brett called this afternoon several times. He drove down to New Albany to be a part of Todd Young's announcement for Senate. He had a fantastic time, met a lot of new people and saw some he was already friends with. Brett learned that Todd Young's wife is the niece of Dan Quayle. He enjoyed talking to her. Brett is very hopeful that he will get an internship with Todd Young this fall. That would be an awesome experience for him.
Tonight we took Cam and Meg to Buffalo Wild Wings to celebrate their week at camp. Another storm blew in. I could not believe it. This one wasn't quite as heavy as last nights. After dinner Meg wanted to play Kemps. She and Grandpa beat us, but I can see why everyone likes it. It is fast moving and a great game to play with large groups. We all enjoyed it.
