I got up at 7 and Bill got up at 8:15.  His back was really hurting this morning.  I prayed for him.  We had a cinnamon roll for breakfast and a protein drink.  There was a knock at our door and it was Chrissy, so I visited with her while Bill finished getting ready.  Then Sean came over and he and Bill sat outside and visited.  Chrissy and I walked down to Phil and Julie’s and Sue and Doug came over and we visited with them for a while.  Then everyone came down to our campsite all the others came too.  We had to spread out on the campsite next to us.  That was nice because then we were in the sunshine.  Russ rode his bike and came to visit for the day.  Al and Lucy got here around 3 and they joined us.  Maverick was cute and wanted to sit on my lap lots.  He is 4 and a very sweet kiddo.  When he eats, his  back molar really is hurting him.  I prayed for him and he just played and his tooth quit hurting.  

Russ had to head back to Iron Mountain.  He and his wife Marsha are coming tomorrow for our potluck.  We all went to Northside Restaurant and ate dinner.  They made Bill and I a pizza and were supposed to only put cheese on one side.  They brought it out and they had left the cheese off one have, but then sprinkled the edges with Parmesan cheese.  We told them we said no cheese, so they brought Bill out a ground sirloin burger and mashed potatoes.  They apologized.  Bill did eat the tips of a few pieces of pizza that didn’t have cheese on them.  

We came back and Jeff had the campfire going nicely, so we all sat out and visited more.  this is a nice relaxing Leadership Campout.  We just get to know each other better.  Our area reps and other leaders are such wonderful servants, serving the Lord, that it’s nice just having this relaxing time together.   It got up to 60 degrees today and was sunny, so felt really good compared to yesterday.  I made the banana cream pudding dessert for tomorrow’s potluck.  Then played a game of 3-13 and a game of dice.  I lost 3-13 by 10 points so did much better than last night.  I lost dice by 150 so it was better too.  Maybe tomorrow night will be my night to win.
