 Adam got up first and went for a walk.  I was the last one to get up this morning.  It was 9 a.m for me.  We ate breakfast and just had cereal.  Adam got back and ate too.  He was hot from his car ride here with no air conditioning, so I told him Eli and Isaac were swimming and he got ready to go swim with them.  I walked down to take a picture of them and Adam had just gotten out of the pool.  He got back in so I could take a picture.  He was happy he had cooled down.

Vikii and I set up the tent I keep in the camper for Eli and Isaac to use tonight.  We set the changing room up too since it’s taller than the tent for them to change in.  Jacob came up later and hung out in the camper for a while.  Then he went out and set his tent up.  We asked if he needed help and he said no, so did the whole thing himself.  We watched him.  We did help him turn it so the door faced towards our camper.  He got everything all settled in.  Then he went for a 3 mile bike ride.  The kids swam more and hung out having fun together.  I made goulash and we all ate that for dinner.  Everyone loved it except Eli doesn’t eat it.  I had hot dogs to warm up and sandwiches, but he wasn’t hungry yet.  We all went into town to get ice cream at Tacey’s.  It was so good!  Eli, Isaac and I stopped at the store to pick up a few things, since the store won’t be open tomorrow.  We came back and the younger kids went for a walk and the older kids hung out with us.  Jacob and Adam went to the adult swim from 9 - 10 p.m.  We played a game of 3-13 when they got back from their swim.  Peyton, Isaac and Eli hung out by the fire and then hung out in the tent until Vikki told them they had to go to bed.  Vikki won 3-13 and shook 800 and then her second throw shook all the same number and got an additional 2000 points.  She was so happy!  That doesn’t happen very often.  Jacob went out to his tent and I blew up the air mattress for Adam and he slept on the couch.  He said it was very comfy.  

We started a roast and added the carrots and potatoes at midnight so it would cook overnight and be ready for our lunch tomorrow.  Will be waking up to some good smells.
