We enjoyed our free breakfast again at the hotel.
We got to the kids' AWANA games right before they started (around 8:30am) and were excited (and surprised) to see them go past 2 rounds this year! After their first 2 rounds of games, it was lunch time - the 3 AWANA kids ate with their teammates in the hotel, and the 4 of us went out to eat lunch at BiscuitVille. Amy liked their salt and pepper shakers so I asked if I could buy some new ones from them (and since the owner happened to be eating in his own resturaunt, they directed me to him.) He gave us a pair right off of his table for free :)
Then we went back to the Hotel for the 2nd part of AWANA games and when we asked about paying for our wrist bands (we got their too late in the morning) she stamped our hands for free (saving us $60 for that day!) 35 AWANA teams started out that morning and our kids' team won their round after lunch, moving them on to round 4 which narrowed the field down to the final 15 teams! They were one of the 6 teams who lost in that 4th round out before the semi-final 9 teams played in the 5th round, which the winners of those three 3 way games would face off in the final 6th round. We left the kids' hotel, which Eric said had the best floors yet to play AWANA games on.
We came back to our hotel and slept about 2 hours (Eric slept 3.) Amy and Jamie thought of the idea to get Beth balloons for her citation reward, so we went to a local Party City and got a dozen balloons. Jamie worked with one of the AWANA leaders to get into Beth's hotel room and leave the balloons floating over her bed. We then went to the Citation Award Ceremony where 187 people received their citation awards, including Beth.

We tried to go out to a BBQ resturaunt called SMOKEY BONES, but the wait was 40 minutes from 9:15pm, so we drove across the street to Oh'Brians after calling them and finding out they did BBQ too and had no wait, we walked in, and had to leave due to the cigarrette smoke, so we drove across the street again and ate at a Wendy's about 10pm :}
We watched some HGTV.
We got to bed a little after midnight.
