Awake: 7:30am Temp: low 40’s sleep 7+48 low clouds overnight @ Indiana, PA.

We have our exciting breakfast @ the motel; then drive to the Indiana Mall (1) mile & walk (45) min. Then it’s back to our motel, change clothes & visit the Foote family + Nick, Eriko, little Jerry & Zack.

When we arrive @ 1:00pm, Melissa was the only one downstairs; the rest of the gang was upstairs. Eriko, Jerry, Andrew & little Nathan were taking naps on the 2nd floor; Nick, & Matthew were on the 3rd floor playing with the Brio train system & castle; & Zack, why he was still sleeping!

Soon, the little Foote boys woke & came downstairs followed by Nick & Matthew from the 3rd. After only 2 hours sleep on the plane, Nick looks very tired & his voice is fading.

It’s soon time for dinner, but where is Zack? Oh yeah, he’s still sleeping! Kathy, Andrew & Matthew have the distinguished job of waking him up. He awakes in good humor.

Early dinner for (9): stuffed peppers & mixed salad; excellent meal with lots of talk with both children & adults; Eriko & Jerry slept longer & ate later. After dinner, Andrew & Matthew lured Nick & me up to the 3rd floor to spend time with them while playing with the Brio train setup. They & we lasted a long time up there & it was a fun time together.
Kathy, in the meantime, had kitchen detail. (11) people & a big meal make for lots of dirty pots & dishes.

Then we return to the 1st floor where Zack spent a lot of time in the dining room teaching Matthew & Andrew how to play Master Mind. About this same time, Eriko & Jerry woke up from their nap & Jerry was ready to have fun playing with Nick using the matchbox cars. I couldn’t help but notice how tired Nick was looking so I offered to play with Jerry so Nick could take a much needed nap himself. He did & Jerry & I had an amusing good time together. The remainder of the afternoon & evening went well; after the boys were all settled in bed, we adults did get some more adult talk time in before K & I returned to our motel @ 10:10pm.

Lights out: 11:45pm
