Mrs. Tirado, Mrs. Carter, Mrs. and Mr. Almon, Miss Sarah, Mrs. Wuehler and the Price family all came up. Also Miss Janella! And the Marcums too although they are not staff, but they do a lot with TOS.

The First day (Friday) in the morning, Mrs. Tirado, Mrs. Carter, and Miss Sarah came.
Later Mr. and Mrs. Almon came in the afternoon.  All the ladies worked and talked until dinner time.
Paul made the salad, and Mom made meat loaf, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes/gravy, corn and some fizzy apple cider.
It was really good!
Then later that night, Dad and Mom (with Luke and Julia) went to go pick up Mrs. Wuehler at the airport in Knoxville. They got back around 12:30 AM.
Mrs. Wuehler was hungry. So mom got her some dinner.
In the morning, Paulie made and served pancakes. Everyone liked them.
That afternoon, Mr. Marcum, Dad and I went to Best Buy to get some tapes for the camera. When we got back the Prices had already come. Everybody was talking while Mom, Mrs. Tirado and I were making dinner. We made Parmesan Chicken, spaghetti, homemade alfredo sauce, homemade red sauce, bread, spinach casserole (Mrs. Estabrooks' recipe) and soda and juices. The Almons had to leave after dinner. After dinner, Dad and Luke went to go pick up Miss Janella. When they got back, Mom served her some food. All of this went from early Friday til early Monday by the way. We had blow up beds everywhere!!

Luke's B-day is the 21^st of November. But we had his party Sat night since so many people were here. Dad and I make a triple chocolate cake. It was good! We sang happy birthday to him. We had rocky road and raspberry icecream.

A little later the Prices had to leave. The adults and Mom were talking business for awhile. Then Mrs. Tirado, Mrs. Carter, and Miss Sarah needed to leave. Miss Janella and Mrs. Wuehler were the only ones here. That morning, Mom made breakfast. Miss Janella had to leave because she had to teach early
that morning. We decided to show Mrs. Wuehler Cades Cove in the Smoky Mountains. It' was a beautiful drive. We saw a big black bear. Everyone pulled their cars over to get out and look. The bear hit a tree with his paw to scare us all away.

We all got out besides Mom and Mrs. Wuehler. I got a picture of the bear. It wasn't really that good of a picture because the lighting was bad. We got back to the house around 8:00pm. We were all starving.
Mrs. Wuehler had to leave the next morning (Monday) at 6:00am if she wanted to catch the plane.
Mom, Dad, Luke, and Julia took her to the airport.
They got back around 11:00am. Dad and Luke left about an hour ago to go pick up more racks. Paulie, Mom, Julie and I watched educational programs all day; Mom was tired!

Here are some pics!

Here is the cake Dad and I made together for Lukey. Everyone really liked it a lot. By the way, while everyone was here, Mom got ANOTHER surprise baby shower. Paulie will blog about it soon - he took a video of it.
