Poor Lucy stepped on a hook with fish line connected down by where we were waiting for the fireworks to start. Kimmy and Jared had everything needed in their van, so Jared got it and Kimmy got it out pretty fast. We were all relieved and Lucy did great afterwards.
Kenzie came back in the morning. She showed us the stuff she bought in Tawas, including her hermit crab. She also showed us her Petosky stones she found while visiting Oma and Poppi.
Very cool! Kimmy, Jared, Eli and Isaac came around noon. We hung out, then made hotdogs and potatoes on the grill and ate together. Around 3 Kimmy, Jared and the boys left to go to Nick's graduation party. He lived across the road from them until he moved to Texas and was their best friend. He comes back in the summer to see his grandparents and always spends time with the boys. So nice to see pictures of them all together again. They came back after the graduation party to hang out and watch the fireworks. Melissa, Bruce and the boys came to watch them too. We sat there for a while and some of us came and went. About 40 minutes before the fireworks were supposed to start, Bill showed us on the radar that a store was going to hit soon and it was 100%. We decided to hurry and pack all the chairs up and take them to the camper, then go back after the storm. Eli and Jack had gone one a bike ride. Melissa and I didn't put the chairs in bags because it was getting so dark and stormy looking, and just hooked the handles over the cooler. We were hauling 3 chairs. They kept falling off and we would put them back on. Then Melissa was trying to hold them on while we hurried down the road. Some young lady, driving a 6 passenger golf cart with 5 passengers besides herself, stopped next to us and told us to put everything we were carrying and hauling on their golf cart and they would drive it to our camper. Bill and Jared were ahead of us, so we told the girls where our camper was and they took all of our stuff and dropped it off for us. Bill and Jared were there a few seconds later and took all the stuff from them. We got there and all of us carried stuff and loaded the clam up so stuff would stay dry. Jacob and Adam put their bikes in too. The guy next to our camper said the storm hit where his house is 35 miles away and was bad and was headed our way. Then we went inside and waited, but noticed Eli and Jack weren't with us. Jacob and Adam went looking for them on their bikes. Very scary to have them all out there knowing a storm was coming. The guys went outside, then Kimmy and Melissa did too. They found the boys. It never did rain real hard. While they were outside the fireworks started. They watched them, but got a little wet. Vikki, Peyton, Isaac, Jacob and I stayed in the camper. The kids watched a few out the windows. Bill offered to take Melissa and the boys home, but Kimmy and Jared said they would take them in their van and and then Bruce met them to get them and take them the rest of the way home. He had left with Max and Vader and was coming back to get Melissa and the boys after he took Max and Vader home. What a lot of excitement in one night. I slept really good after all that.
