Outdoor Adventures in Mt. Pleasant

| This is the little pond. Forgot to take a picture of the big pond. It would be fun to kayak on. |
Our free room at the Soaring Eagle Hotel was so nice. Loved staying in it.
 |
| This was the best hot tub I have ever been in. Such a nice gentle bubble flow that went all through the water. Very relaxing |

Bill and I at the Aurora Buffet. We each got a free meal for his birthday. The buffets each cost 24.95. Huge blessing for us. I sure am appreciating my hero!
Went to the rehab to visit Melissa. I got to watch her do her therapy today. I haven't seen her do it since August 17th. Then she just tried standing with the walker. It wasn't easy and she couldn't walk with it. Her Therapist, tried doing a step with her with the walker, but she couldn't even pick her feet up over an inch to get them on the step. Today he had her do the steps with the walker and she went right up them with her walker by herself. I was amazed and was holding back tears. She did them so good and got to the top, turned around and went back down them. Her therapist was so happy and proud of her, he was teary eyed too. Then he had her walk with the walker down the hall which is 90 feet. She went even farther because she went to the wall past where the 90 feet ares. We went upstairs to her room and her OT came and got her and took her back down for Occupational Therapy. She stood to do the ring sliding on the half hoop. She hadn't done that when I watched her before. She got upstairs and the doctor who had been negative came in and had her walk. I was worried because she had just done all that therapy. Her OT Therapist was there and wanted to hang on to the gait belt because Melissa is Minimum assist, but the dr. didn't want her too. Melissa had to walk with her walker and turn in the hallway by herself which she hadn't done before. She did great and then the dr. had her stand talking to him for five minutes. I was so worried about how tired she had to be. He was still pretty negative. Melissa's therapist were all positive and so encouraging that she would get back to where she was. The are going to speak up for her at the meeting tomorrow. I got home and we packed and left for Mt. Pleasant. Our free room in the Soaring Eagle Hotel for Bill being a veteran was very nice. We went for a ride to the Honda Dealer to look for motorcycle accessories. They didn't have the organizer the girls and I were going to get Bill for his birthday and they didn't have much of anything else either. We went to Penneys and shopped for sales...found shorts and other stuff for 5.00. Bill found a pair of swimming trunks for super cheap. He forgot his at home. We went for a ride through Outdoor Adventures after that. It is a really nice park. Very clean, with all full hook ups and cement slabs. Very big sights. All the roads are paved. They have a beautiful sandy beach on a big bond and then a little pond too. The pool lis in now. We went back to the hotel and went to the Aurora Buffett. There was a one hour to one and a half hour wait. They gave us a buzzer so we went in the casino and played the $20 they had put on Bill's card for his birthday. Bill won $10 and then he quit. Finally after close to 2 hours, the buzzer went off and we got to eat. If was hilarious watching everyone eat these big crab legs. I tried some, but I think it is too much work and too messy for what little meat you get. They had great chicken, potatoes, pork roast, and lots of other great food too. Also a great salad bar and a great dessert bar and ice cream bar. We had a nice time together celebrating Bill's 70th Birthday. Went to our room and got ready to swim. We swam and went in the hot tub. They have beautiful new comfy furniture by the poo. We went back up to our room and got the hot tub in our room ready. I had left the stuff to do my hair in the morning out in the cr. Bill was sweet and went out and got it for me. The hot tub was the best one ever with lots of gentle bubbles in the whole thing.
