Laura spent the day in the dining hall still working away. Her mom and dad had other things but this was the day for making the cakes. So she used the camp kitchen and spent the morning doing that. When I came in later she was on the floor hot gluing mini lights to the name board that is supposed to go on the photo backdrop. The lights were not lighting up the letters enough so she was going to have to paint the background a darker color.

Later I walked in again and she was writing their names on the chalkboard. I said, “Laura, you could have a business doing this.” That’s how amazingly talented she is. She said she told her mom that she was never doing this again, that it was one thing to do it for their wedding, but she didn’t think she’d have the same passion for someone else’s. I knew exactly what she meant. Sometimes the work we do is a one time grace for a point in time.

We had our family night. For supper we went to Cancun and spent some time trying to have more meaningful conversation. Once we were back at camp we took Zorro and all went down to the lake. Zorro was off his leash and loved running around. After that we went back to the house. I talked with Ethan and Laura outside. We eventually all ended up taking these fun music quizzes on YouTube where you guess songs played from certain decades.
