We slept in til 7:30.  Went around and saw friends who came today to camp. At 11 we went for a motorcycle ride.  Bill is in charge of making sure everything he scheduled runs right, so we came back early instead of going for lunch.  We registered, got a scavenger hunt sheet, and started finding things on the sheet. Everything was on the BayShore Campgrounds. We found 27 of 60 things, then had to stop to go eat spaghetti at the dining hall.  After that we went to pray with the state leadership.  When we were done, we went into the tabernacle for worship and the evening service.  Bill and I had to go up from and welcome everyone. Then Bill had to introduce all the leadership and those doing the pledges, those doing the fag ceremony and each speaker.  He did a great job.

A lot of us rode to the Dairy Barn afterwards for ice cream.  They stay open Labor Day weekend just for CMA and are very accommodating. We came back to the camper at round ten and read our Bibles and checked our phones.  Vikki called and Melissa texted me.  Got a short text from Jacob letting me know how he was doing. We talked to Hailey’s friend Dustin who works at BayShore today when we registered.  He has a beard now so almost didn’t recognize him.   It looks good on him. He is helping us lots with whatever we need BayShore to do, and exchanged numbers with Bill so he can call him if he needs help with anything. They are so nice to all of us here.
