Friday, 7/28/23, Went to Jack's, Meijer, and Aldi early in the morning, Made cabbage buns, made zucchini bread, did strawberries for shortcake, Jacob drove him and Eli over to swim, Melissa and Hailey brought Jack to swim, Kimmy and Jared came, packed lots more

Meat, cabbage and onion. cooked for Cabbage buns...our tradition to have our first night at BayShore with Melissa and Bruce.

Jack, Eli and Jacob having fun in the pool on this hot 90 degree day

They were so cute because they automatically posed for the picture without me even saying anything

Cabbage buns made and ready to pack up for camping trip

Loved working on stuff while watching the boys have fun

 

Hailey and Abby

Jacob thought he was taking each of Hailey's keys off her keyring, but instead it was Papa's camper key ring.  Whoops!  We all got a good laugh!  Hailey was happy it wasn't her keys and he wasn't so happy when he found out the keys were Papa's

Abby relaxing

Got up early to get to the stores before they got busy.  So glad I did.  It was cooler and I got done fast with not many there.  I had lots of coupons for what I needed so that was good. 

Came home and put what groceries needed to go in the camper in and then drove up to the house and put the rest away.  It was super hot out, so worked inside in the air conditioning making bread dough, cooking my burger mixture for Cabbage Buns, making zucchini bread, looking over strawberries and mashing them for shortcake.  I also picked some green peppers and made stuffed peppers for dinner.  Busy day doing this on top of packing.  

Jacob drove Eli here around 6 and Melissa, Bruce, Haley and Jack came shortly after.  Jack stayed and swam with the boys.  Melissa started some laundry of Hailey's.  I told them they could do some loads here, so between what they do at Melissa's and here it gets done twice as fast.  Hailey is going to BayShore for tomorrow, then she has an opportunity to work with a child with cerebral palsy at the camp she works at.  She said this is something she's prayed for, so he is going to miss the rest of the week at BayShore.  This will be the first time she has missed since she was a baby. When she took the job at the camp, she asked to have the week off for BayShore.  I'm happy she is responsible to decide to do something that will help her career in the future and give up something she loves to do it.  Jacob's first miss camping at Copper Harbor since he was a baby too.  Responsible kids for sure.  

While the boys were swimming, it started looking like it was going to rain, so Bill wanted to get the motorcycle in the garage of the camper quickly.  We really moved putting everything where it needed to be to put the motorcycle in.  We got it all done before it rained, but boy were we tired and hot.  Kimmy and Jared got here right as we finished.  The boys got out of the pool, and Kimmy and Jared left.  When we came inside, we noticed keys taken all off the keychain...then the story unfolded of what happened.  It sure was a good laugh.  

Everyone made it home safe and sound.  I talked to Kimmy and Vikki for a while and texted with Hailey.
