Prioritized Daily Tasks

Beth and Autumn tried to help me find a lie of flowers for Sister Alexandra "Alex" McAlpin who arrives from her mission in Northern Colorado at John Wayne, Orange County Airport at 3:58 PM, there was no place that carries them.  I called Isreal Lao but no answer.  I left a message on his phone.

I got up a 7:30 AM and had prayer.  Beth fixed breakfast and made lunches for the older children to take with them today to Jr. Life Guard training.  Ethan and Luke are going with them but will probably be spending most of their time on the beach.  I stayed home with Andrew.  We went to the park and afterward took Charlie, the dog, for a walk.  Beth took Ethan and Luke with her to drop Tucker and Maggie off at Jr. Life Guard camp.  Andrew's tutor is sick and did not come today.  When Beth got home with Ethan and Luke, we, including Andrew, went to the pool and played here in the apartment subdivision pool.  

We picked Tucker and Maggie up from Jr. Life Guard Camp and drove to the Orange County Airport.  We had welcome home signs the children made for when Alex came down to baggage claim.  We took pictures and family and friends drove to BJs Restaurant on El Toro Road.  This was a very choice time.  I sent pictures to Debbie and she sent picture to me of the family reunion at Bear Lake.
