Day 16

Day 2 without Erin.

Today was similarly awesome to yesterday. I mean, Beth worked and Gros kicked around and learned effin awesome guitar and it was cool. She also made pasta! And her bed. And Beth just... learned... plant names s'more. She also decided not to take summer classes and figured out that if she stands on one foot she doesn't talk excessively (like she's been doing all day about stupid boy-related things. Ugh.)

ANYWAYS. Then, of course, it was time for our play-date with Diete- I mean... Pres. Uchtdorf. He wasn't joking about the lava lamp mall. We spent several hours gazing into neon colored globs of awesome and admiring the various lamps available. The trip was interrupted by an unexpected meeting with none other than Jack Sparrow (Captain.) Turns out he is a lava lamp fan too! President Uchtdorf complimented him on his fashionable bandana and they got into a hefty discussion about the religious implications of the pattern on it. Naturally, this eventually led to Grosland giving Jack Sparrow a Book of Mormon. He said he would read it and left quickly... he seemed a bit uncomfortable. Beth and Gros were worried they'd offended him, but President Uchtdorf told them not to give up hope. Then they got orange julius and counted red and blue cars like in "Up." Pretty awesome. Then Beth and Gros went home and found cookies on their doorstep! They each ate theirs and half of Erin's (cuz Erin doesn't like sugar anyways) and drank some of Erin's milk (cuz it's going bad.)

They miss her terribly. Like sad puppies. Hopefully they will last the rest of the week...

YAY BETH! I think in the long run you will be happier for having taken the break. And I know WE will be happier that you are taking a break ;)

Yessir. :) Robin, I'd make you cookies... but do you trust me to cook? 0_o I'm not much better at cookies than Jesrin are at Cupcakes.
