Vikki put the bird feeder in the clam and forgot to take it back out when we got home.  In the morning I went out and this is what I saw.  The clam door was open and something had a party..,probably squirrels.

Bill helped Kenzie and Travis pick up their kitchen cabinets 

 The boys went swimming before Kody had to leave.  They also did lots of bike riding. Bill was helping Kenzie and Travis pick up their kitchen cabinets and countertops and took the to their house in the morning.  He was going to come back up north, but was too tired.  Kimmy, Jacob and Adam came up.  We went to the store and ate lunch, then I took Kody to meet his mom so he could go camping at Houghton Lake with them.  She was early so came more than halfway to meet me. I stopped and got some groceries.  When I got to the campground, I changed then went to the inside pool and swam with Vikki, Kimmy and the kids.  We had fun and it was nice to cool down.  Kenzie came up after they got done with the kitchen cabinets and spent the night.  We went to the store and got ice cream.  It sure tasted good.  Kimmy took and Isaac home with her for the night.  Peyton, Kenzie, Jacob and Adam had lots of fun playing on the beach and swimming and diving down to get clay.  Jacob made us a nice campfire and we sat around it and made s’mores. When we went in, we played 3-13.  Vikki didn’t want to play, but sat in by us some of the time. Jacob won( He was the scorekeeper) and Kenzie came in second.  We won’t talk about the rest of the order.  It was such a fun day!  Adam slept in the loft and Jacob slept on the couch.

Melissa, Bruce and the boys went to the Detroit Zoo.  She sent me these nice pictures.














I got up early and met Stacie halfway to pick up Kody to come camp with us.  We got back to the campground and Vikki and the kids had just got up.  We all ate breakfast, then the kids went on bike rides and also several walks to the store to get some candy.  Peyton, Isaac, Kody and I went swimming for about an hour when it started raining hard.  We waited with another family under the roof by the pool bathrooms until the rain let up.  We went. To the camper and a little while later, the rain stopped and the sun came out.  The kids all went fishing while we girls hung out outside of the camper. Kimmy and I walked down to watch the kids fish and take pictures.  Then the kids all went swimming while we girls sat and watched them.  It looked like it was going to rain so we left and came back to the camper.  The girls decided we should go to McDonald’s and use our coupons for our dinner.  We all ordered and ate there.  It started pouring when we left.  Kimmy headed home and Eli came with me back to the camper.  All of us but Vikki played 3-13.  Then we watched the movie Courageous.
