We went to breakfast at the Eagles Club at 8.  After we ate, I was going to go next door and get a 50th anniversary card and a graduation card.  When I said I was going, Sabrina said she would come with me because she needed to get a graduation card.  Well we walked over to the Dollar Store and it wasn't open yet.  We had 10 minutes.  We went back to the Eagles Club and waited til 9.  We headed back over there and crossed a weedy area with some grass and trees and all of a sudden the sprinkling system came on.  We put our hands up and did some screaming and ran to get out of the water.  We had a good laugh over that one.  We got out cards.  When we got back it was time to head over to get in line for the parade.  The parade was fun and we passed out lots of candy.  The fireman on the firetruck ahead of us were squirting people and then throwing lots of candy.  It was so fun seeing all the happy faces.  It was hot so most people wanted to get sprayed.  A few covered their faces though. After the parade, I went to pick up Melissa, Hailey and Max.  Bruce took Max for his appointment in Cass City and Jack was already up at the campground with Vikki.  We stopped at my house to pick up the things I was taking back to the campground.  Hailey decided to ride with Papa on the motorcycle. We followed them.  When we got there, we unpacked and then went and saw Vikki and Misty at the craft show.  Kenzie and Travis got there around the same time.  At around 3, Kimmy and her family came and then Bruce got there with Max around 5:30.  We ate when he got there, then went for a swim, then the kids got lots of candy from the golf cart parade and then we went to the fireworks.  We had lots of fun and it was so nice that we were all together.  Very relaxing watching the fireworks there, avoiding all the huge crowds we used to have to be in.  So much fun.  I love my family!
