6/6/16...Kimmy, her boys and Nick came to the campground for the day



Eli is doing great on his bike.  He just learned to ride at his house.


We will have fun on bike rides now
Adam having fun in the boat




I sewed the seam in the screen tent with the speedy stitcher.  Good thing I had Kimmy here to show me how to use it.  It works so great.  Mocha popped her head out right as I took the pic.


Jacob, Nick, Adam and Eli


Lunch time...Kimmy packed the boys sandwiches. I had planned on making sandwiches


Jacob and Nick


Adam in the hot tub


Eli in the pool


Nick and Jacob


Papa got in and had fun splashing the boys and being splashed





Adam

Dad covering the score sheet so I couldn't take a picture.  I knew he would rip it up and I was right. It fell under the table and we were both trying to get it and were laughing so hard.  He got it with his big foot.  He had 226 and I had -88.  He beat me really bad last night, I had 49 and he had -48.  Of course he didn't rip that one up.  He is too funny


Got up and got the outside organized again after Bill put the awning up.  Read the Jesus Code Book chapter on Prayer.  Love that book Kenzie gave me.  I meditate on it all the time.  Had oatmeal and raisins for breakfast.  Bill used his metal detector the first time today.  He found a quarter and a tractor.  I tried it but didn't find anything.  Kimmy, Jacob, Adam, Eli and Nick got here while I was on the beach looking.  I was happy to see them. The bike seat cover Kimmy made me is beautiful.  It looks professional.  Sure is talented.   We took a bike ride with Eli.  My bike rides so nice and I am so thankful not to have squeaky brakes.  Kimmy and I drank our coffee in the screen tent while Jacob and Nick fished and Eli and Adam swam in the pond.  They used the inner tube, noodles, and boat and had lots of fun.  Then they had fun on the beach playing in the sand.  Nick and Jacob soon joined them.  They had lots of fun too.  Only sad thing, was Jacob lost Adam's goggles in the pond and couldn't find them.  t sewed the screen tent seam that needed stitching.  Was happy to have Kimmy show me how.  It sure fixed it good.  We all ate lunch and then we went to the inside pool to swim.  The water was nice and warm.  We swam there for quite a while.   The boys had fun with Kimmy and the noodles.  Bill came and then they had fun with him.  We had the pool to ourself for a long time.  Only a few people other than us swam in it today.   Came back and it was raining.  Adam and Eli played Risk, Jacob and Nick played battleship and Kimmy and I played dice.  Melissa called to say it was supposed to have severe thunderstorms here and hail.  We went out and took down the lights and put the awning down.  We got a little soaked doing it.  We didn't get anything severe though which I am very thankful for.  It got sunny right after it rained hard so we went outside did lots of bike riding.  We also golfed and had so many laughs when Kimmy and I golfed in the water.  We had fun walking to the store and buying treats today too..  Bill and I went to the Trinity Rider's meeting in Bay City on our motorcycle.  Stopped at Northwoods in Pinconning on the way home to see if they had goggles.  None yet, but the $2.99 sign is still up so I am hoping they get some in and sell them for that price.  We got Toilet Paper there and sunscreen spray.  Mocha is feeling really good now, begging for food, and having solid poo poos.  Bill and I played 3-13.

6/5/16...WENT TO CHURCH, THEN WENT TO THE FIRESIDE GRILL, THEN BACKCAMPING




Bill was tired when we got to the campground so he took a siesta



We went golfing and he won the first game and I won the second





We went to church.  I went to a Sunday School Teacher meeting during the service as we are starting our new curriculum  next wee.  Everyone said the sermon was very good so I can't wait to listen on line.  We went to Shepherd to the Fireside Grill for lunch with Amy and Dennis.  They wanted us to see where Bill will be marrying them in August.  It was very nice.  They had a buffet and everything was very delicious.  They bought our dinners which was sweet of them.  We went to their house in Midland afterwards and visited and talked about their wedding plans.  They are the sweetest couple.
We went back to our house and got Mocha and headed back up north to the campground.  Was happy to see Vikki and the kiddos.  Peyton and Isaac were excited to show me the crosses they made at church that morning.  They are beautiful.  Vikki, Peyton, Isaac, Bill and I went for ice cream at the pavilion.  We came back to the camper and the kids, Vikki and I played dice.  Then Vikki and I played 3-13.  Vikki won dice and I won the card game.  It was fun playing with the kids.  Vikki and the kids left for home and Bill and I went for a walk around the campground.  I forgot to wear my fitbit today so was glad to finally get some steps on it.  We saw that the mini golf was open so we played two games.  Bill won the first one and I won the second.  I went to the store for a few things and then we played 3-13.  Bill beat me bad, but we had fun.

6/4/16...Outflowed at His Restoration with our care group this morning!Thank You Lord for letting us be a blessing!

We took a picture right at 10 and then more showed up so we took another one later

Great group of hard workers


Stacey is due to have her baby Monday, but did a great job helping

At first Ruth was the only one from the Nelson Care group that showed up to help.  We sure were happy to see her

Marie always does a great job with a big smile

Love these two great helpers, Livia and Aleyiah.

So happy to have Denise show up to help.  She is always so much fun to be around

Amy looked for the tough jobs to do.  This fan was very dirty and then when she was done it was spic and span


Dennis, Marie, Stacey Livia, Aleyiah, Amy,
Ann, Roy, Brian, Ruth, Paul, Denise, Sam, Dennis and Bill

Fun at G's after we finished cleaning

Went to His Restoration at 10 and did our Care Group Outflow.  We ladies cleaned inside and the guys did the outside work.  It went fast with having such a great turn out. Ann was there and had lots of good testimonies to share of what God is doing there.  She will be 79 and is the one who started this ministry.  We went to G's afterwards and had delicious pizza.  Sam and I split a pizza.
We came home and Amy and Dennis came to borrow our power washer.  We sat on the deck and visited for a while.  After they left, we put the air conditioner in.  Bill cut the grass and I pulled weeds around the house and planted my flowers.  Mocha was feeling better today.  I made carrots for her and she doesn't have diarrhea  any longer.  Thank You Lord!  Dad and I watched the movie, The Ultimate Legacy which was really good.

We planted the garden today.  Put the fence up to keep the critters out.  Very dry ground so we had to water it

My peonies are in full bloom.  I picked some for inside the house.  They smell so good and remind me of my grandma's and my mom so much

The plants Bill got me at the Farmer's market in Frankenmuth are really growing.

Peyton wanted a selfie with me.  She's so cute.

Kimmy came up for the day.  She got here early and she and Vikki visited outside.  Mocha had diarrhea and I had to wash her bedding, her pop up house and her.  Took some time but then I was able to visit too.  Kimmy understood because poor Truman has had diarrhea yesterday and today.  We went for a walk around the campground, then came back and got ready to go swimming.  We left the dogs outside.  The water was cold but we all swam and then went in the hot tub.  After that we all got ice cream except Isaac didn't want any.  Thanks for treating me Vik.  We had yummy chocolate peanut butter (cup)
Kimmy had to leave after that.  I was telling Vik how Mocha hadn't had an accident as I put her outside and she said what do you mean, she has poo poo all over her.  Gave her a bath and had to clean the carpet in the living room of the camper.  Good thing o brought my spotligter.  That was my last mess of the day.  We had round steak, peas, gravy and mashed potatoes for supper.  Went for another walk and then spent a long time in the screen tent and then around the campfire.  Played 3-13 and dice and went to bed.
