We slept in this morning til 9:30.  We all were up pretty late.  I was the first one up.  We played 3-13 last night and it took a while.  We were all tired when we started playing.

I went outside and read my Bible and prayed.  When everyone was up and ready, we ate breakfast together.  Then Adam went for a walk.  He came back and went for a long swim.  Isaac hung out outside working on his remote truck and Jeep.  He sure can do amazing things with them.  Peyton went for walks too.  She was going to go swimming, but didn’t.

Bill came up and put the battery in the trike.  It started right away.  He loaded it on the trailer.  I took his overnight bag which he forgot last night to him.  Isaac brought him a water because he was really hot.  He brought us cups and wet wipes from home.  We are all stocked up again.

It was supposed to start raining at 1 with possible thurnder storms.  We didn’t get any rain until 4 and then it was only for a short time and very light rain.  We enjoyed watching the movie “The Forge'.  Vikki, Peyton and Isaac hadn’t seen it and really liked it.  It’s such a great movie!  

We made dinner and ate inside.  Adam decided he just wanted a turkey and cheese sandwich, so he made himself one.  He is sure easy to have around and lots of fun tool

He’s going swimming again now (8 pm).  He didn’t stay too long because his foot started hurting.  He relaxed in the hammock.  A short time later his foot was better he said. Yay!

I called Sue and talked to her.  Her niece is back home from Florida so that’s helping her do better. I’m so glad!

Sunday, 6/29/25, came home for church, taught Sunday School, went to prayer between services, went to second service, hoed 4 rows and the outside edge of the garden, Billvand I came back up north, bill emptied both tanks, hauled it to dump station with the trike, battery died, Wes, Gayla and Joel came up to visit, Bill went home to get what he needs for the trike, Adam, Vikki, Peyton and I played 3-12

Bill hauling the pee/poo tank away to dump.  First time using it!

Poor Bill, it was 90 degrees and when he got down to the dumping station, his motorcycle battery died.  He was just telling someone he hadn’t changed the battery since we got the bike.  He was dripping wet with sweat when he got back.

We got up early and left for home at 6:30 a.m.  Got ready and went to the 9 a.m. service at church.  Hailey and Evan were there and sat with us, then Rody came and sat with us too.  Worship was awesome.  After worship, I went back to teach my K-1 Sunday School class.  The kids moved up from preschool, so we have a total of 15 K-1 kids now.  All the kids were so good and so cute.  The lesson was a great one and they listened well and answered the questions well.  I went to prayer after the service was over.  One of our missionary families were at church today.  They are from Azerbaijan.  Scott came back to our prayer room and came in and thanked us for praying when we had finished.  We went out and visited before the next service started.  Merijo and Greg were there so we gave them extra big hugs.  They looked so sad and were fighting back tears, because of their daughter passing away.  We were glad they came to church so everyone could show them love and help comfort them.  We decided to stay for the second service, which I was happy about because I love hearing the message in person instead of online.  After the service, we prayed for people at the altar.  

We came home, and  I weeded some in front, watered plants on the deck, then hoed 4 rows in the garden and also around the edge where the electric fence is by where I hoed.  After that, I got really hot and my heart was beating fast, so I decided it was enough.  Bill said he would do it in the morning or evening during the week so it would be cool.  That sounded good to me.  I relaxed for a few minutes, then took a shower, got ready and we headed back up to the campground.  Adam had got there about 30 minutes before us.  I was so happy to see him and so happy he is spending  a few days with us.  Bill and Isaac worked on emptying the tanks of the camper into the new hauler we got.  Then Bill hooked it up to  his trike and hauled it up to the dump station.  His battery on the trike died while he was down there.  It was so hot out that he was sweating lots by the time he got back to the camper.  He drank a big cold water, then cooled off in the camper.  Wes, Gayla and Joel came to hang out for a while.  We enjoyed visiting!  They really liked our motor home.  Wes drove Bill down and they worked on the motorcycle again.  They got it to start, but it stopped right away.  

They left and Bill rode with them.  He is going to bring the Jeep up with the trailer tomorrow after he picks up a battery, then will haul the Jeep home on the trailer.  We put stuff away outside, then came in and played 3-13.  Adam was the scorekeeper.  He won the game.  He sure got great hands.  We went to bed.  I read my Bible and worked on my blog before going to bed at 12:20.

I got up early and went to Jays Market in the morning and got burger for today.  Made the patties up ahead of time.  Bill got here at 10 a.m. Maddy and Alec got here around 11 a.m. 

We hung out outside, walked around and showed them the campground, Maddy, Alec, Brielle, Peyton and I went swimming in the outside pool.  It was a great temperature and the water felt great.  

We came back to the camper and Bill cooked burgers & hotdogs on the grill.  We had potato salad, baked beans and chips to go with it. We all ate in the Clam.  

Rody came up too.  We all sat outside the camper visiting.  Alec tried to get Mason to sleep in the camper.  He finally fell asleep and slept a long time.  It was good because he sure was tired.

Some of us ate sandwiches and others were still full.  We made s’mores and all had some of those.  They sure tasted good.  We got things cleaned up and  then the Golf Cart Parade started.  It came from the opposite direction this year and then went back the other direction.  Brielle, Peyton and Isaac had fun picking up candy.  They gave most of it to Brielle.

We walked down where we watch the fireworks and hung out til the fireworks started.  They started at 10:15.  They were really beautiful.  Rody, Alec and Maddy and kids left right afterwards and we all walked back to the camper.  We played dice and then went to bed.
