Went to class. Bruce came up at 12:30. It was so nice having him here. The kids were very excited to see him.  We went to play laser tag after quiet time. The boys all had fun.  Isaac absolutely loved it and wanted to call his mom and tell her right away that he played.  He took the kids to the zip line. Peyton and Isaac played on the tire swings and then Bruce took them all to ride the barrel train.  Mike Vargas came to visit.  Kimmy called me while they were at the beach.  The boys were having fun in the waves of Lake Superior.  Kimmy and I had such a nice talk. I sure am missing her.  Max is being super good as is quick to help me joyfully with whatever I need.  I am blessed with all these sweet grand children.  We ate spaghetti at our campsite and Bruce ate with us.  He had to leave after that.  We went to the tabernacle after that.  All the kids left to go to their class and I went to help Tasha with the three year old class.  Went and had ice cream after that.  Wes and Gayla scooped ice cream a. Tasha, her hubby and Caleb sat with us.  Bill took the kids back to the camper.  I called Melissa and talked to her.  What great faith and a great attitude she has. She and Vikki FaceTimed us today.  Loved that.  Bill had all the kids getting ready for bed when I got there.  He listened to some say their prayers and I listened to the rest.  My heart is touched by the way they pray from their hearts.  Good job training them 

Moms and dad’s.  Way to go!  

7/30/18...Scavenger hunt at BayShore, Kenzie went to see her Aunt Missy at the Rehab and spent time with Vikki at her house

Mia, Hailey and Jack seeing who can get us the fastest time for our team by blowing up the balloons and letting them go to see how far they fly and then starting over till they got past the finish line.  Hailey was the fastest so we wrote down her time

Jack's turn

It was a little harder for Jack because if he kneeled, he was too short to reach the table and if he stood, it was hard to keep the spoon straight because he was too high

We got up and got ready for our classes. So nice that Jack, Evan, Peyton, and Isaac are all in God Squad together.  Max and Hailey are very responsible and are helping and doing great.  Bill and I went to Adam’s class on Hebrews.  Wes and Gayla saved seats for us. Great class.  Went to the class in the tabernacle after cookie and coffee time.  Came back and ate lunch and then Bill went and picked up groceries for us.  After lunch Mia, Hailey, Jack and I did the scavenger hunt.  We had fun but were happy to jump in the pool afterwards.  Bill took the other kids swimming while we were doing the hunt. Made pizzas for dinner.  Kenzie called and talked to everyone.  She was at Vikki’s. She went to the hospital to see Melissa.  We went to church and the kids went to God Squad.  Youth stayed in the tabernacle and listened to the message. It was a very good one.  The kids bought tricks after class.  We went and got free popcorn and then came to the camper. They tried their tricks and, I washed the three youngest ones feet.  Jack and Evan slept in the tent.  Train came for the first time and the kids were all very excited.

Slept in til 7.  Hailey got in our camper around 8 and got ready.  Hailey, Evan, Peyton and Max had cereal and everybody else had pancakes.  Jack absolutely loved my pancakes and said I should teach his dad how to make them.  Ha ha all I did was add water to the mix.  Hailey got ready and she and Hailey left for class.  Max reminded me he had class too.  Forgot he’s a youth now!  We went to service in the tabernacle at 10;45. Kids  went to class during service.  Came back and ate lunch.  Relaxed while the kids played war.  Went swimming after that.  Beautiful warm day but not muggy.  Papa came swimming and the kids all had fun with him.  The kids were excited to go to the store and buy stuff. Everybody got candy except Jack and Isaac got fans that squirt water.  Jack, Evan and Isaac rode the barrel train.  Bill grilled chicken and I made mashed potatoes and corn.  FaceTimed Melissa and saw how happy Abby was to see her. She wouldn’t quit wagging her tail. Gayla brought us rhubarb cake. Went to service and kids went to class.  The kids had ice cream. I had Evan put his swimming suit on and washed his hair ang gave him a shower in our outside shower. Than he had ice cream. He was really dirty because he threw dirt up in the air over his head.  Kids all went to bed good.  I love these grandkiddos so much.  

7/28/18 Went to BayShore for Family Camp. Took Hailey, Max, Jack and Evan with us because Melissa is in the rehab so she and Bruce can't come. Boo Hoo! Also took Peyton and Isaac. Fun walking around, swimming, and spending family time.

Got up early and headed to BayShore for family camp.  Peyton, Hailey and I rode in my car and Bill and the four boys were in the truck towing the camper.  We went ahead of them and stopped at Roy and Marie’s to drop off some cabbage buns for them.  Waited on their road till I saw Bill coming and pulled out behind him. Got to BayShore and set up on lot 14. Trying a new spot this year.  We set up and then went for a swim. Papa and Hailey stayed at the camper.  We swam for a long time. Perfect weather and perfect pool temperature.  After that, we went and visited Wes, Gayla, Becky and Dave.  Bill and Wes helped Dave set up his camper.  The kids were happy to play with their friends and Hailey and Mia hung out and set their tent up.  We ate cabbage buns for dinner.  Went to worship service at 6:45.  Kids went to God Squad.  Max and Hailey stayed in service. Went for ice cream afterward . Hailey stayed in Mias tent
