We drove to Granddad's house to stay for a few days and be closer to the university that Regan wanted to visit. Benjamin learned how to cut the grass on this trip, too!
Lauren and Hudson loved that a the little tv was on the patio.
Benjamin had an appointment at the dentist to have his wisdom teeth checked. He complained often of pain when we were overseas, so I thought we should have it checked out. He had to have his temperature checked in the car before being allowed to come in. And the verdict is...
All 4 wisdom teeth need to come out. So, he has an appointment in August with an oral surgeon.
Murphy was glad to see Benjamin come back
WOW! How exciting! She has been saving saving saving her money! Only one bank in the area would exchange her money into USD, but you had to have an account. So, Jonathan helped her get her first bank account and put her exchanged money in to it. The reason for exchanging the money is because she saved enough to buy the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. She has wanted it for years, ever since it came out. So we went to the store and ordered it (sold out in stores)
All the girls wanted a picture with their money. The value goes down significantly with each child :) The other girls only have a few dollars or cents. And poor Hudson over in the corner. He likes money so much, but it burns a hole in his pocket, s the didn't have anything for the picture.
We were driving on the road when the emergency vehicle in front of us stopped, turned on it's lights, and ushered a turtle across the road safely.
The American Girl Store reopened and she finally got her birthday present.
Rebecca...plus one of her outfits because they were having a special at the store if you bought the doll!
Jonathan, Regan, and I got up early to drive to Union University for a tour. Reserved parking just for Regan :)
Their mascot is a bulldog. They even have a real one on campus that the students can visit any time they need to pet an animal.
Regan is interested in Graphic Design, so it was fun to see that department on the tour.
The dorms were beautiful. I love the courtyard in front of each one.
Regan always gets excited about libraries.
This, however, was my favorite part of the university. There is a huge swing for 2+ and it was so nice. Jonathan grabbed this photo of us while we were talking. I love it.
Everyone needs a picture by the entrance, right? :)
While we were visiting the university, the other kids were helping entertain/babysit. Katherine got to feed Nellie.
Hudson played with the other kids and Benjamin continued on his schoolwork.
Lauren had to borrow some close while hers dried....she went "swimming" in her clothes.
Again, Murphy was happy for us to return. He's a good dog.
We were headed back to Knoxville and somebody was afraid that Granddad was going to go with us :)
