We started off the day with a quick bowl of cereal and rushed to get ready for the nine o' clock service at Gateway Community with Brandon. After a great service, we came back to the trailer and ate homemade hamburgers.
Once we were done with our yummy lunch, we waited for Brandon to arrive so we could go geocaching. We had picked up a "trackable" when we were with Ryan's family in Valdosta and we were starting to feel badly that we'd had it soo long. In only a couple minutes he came, so we left to a public park with tons of gravel trails that you could easily get lost in. We walked about .1 miles to the first hiding place and Brandon found it after a little bit of searching; it was his first geocache he had ever found!
We continued on and we met another family who were geocaching and heading to the same one we just found! Apparently we were heading to the one that they had just gone to too. :)
After walking about five hundred feet, we turned off of the main trail onto a dirt trail where I found the geocache there after a couple of minutes. Brandon had a meeting to go to and we were all hot so we went back to the trailer and relaxed and rested.

Tonight we ate our traditional corned beef and cabbage meal. The dinner rolls did not turn out well at all since our propane tank ran out in the middle of their baking and I didn't know. When I went to take them out, they were not browned except the ones that had risen to hang over the edge of the sheet. Our LP gas detector kept going off which should have clued me in, but the noise is so jarring that it took me a couple times to figure out what was going on. Brock went out and switched the tank over and we were back in business and the rolls got finished baking, but they were just kind of weird and messy with a very crispy, flaky crust. The corned beef brisket turned out great, which was surprising given the lack of success I often have cooking in the trailer. I didn't even have a recipe to follow for the proportions of the ingredients in the glaze, but it turned out very tasty. The potatoes and cabbage were just right. Yay!
As I write this, I'm thinking the Nyquil is going to kick in any moment. Yes, the dreaded cold has caught up to me. There was some talk that it could be allergies since the pollens are very high here right now, but I feel pretty sure at this point it is a cold and I feel very puny. Skylar is sniffing tonight and Brynna has had a relapse the last couple of days. Brighton has had a mild case, but seems to be on the mend. I think Brock is in the clear for now. I was just thinking we haven't had much sickness at all this whole trip.
Hopefully, the Yukon shock replacement will happen tomorrow so that will be taken care of.
The weather forecast says we should be very close to record highs tomorrow around 93 degrees. Yikes! Thank goodness for air conditioning.
(Can't seem to upload pictures tonight so you'll have to use your imaginations. The only one I remembered to take was of our dinner, so not that exciting anyway. ;o)
