6/7/16 Stacey and Brian had their baby boy today. It's Stacey's Birthday too! Nice time with dad at the campgroundA

Ansel Kenneth was born at 9:39 today!  5 lbs., 8oz. and 18".What a miracle and blessing!  So happy!

A very happy Grandma Joan

Love this precious picture of Pastor Ken with his grandson!

Bill getting ready to play ladderball with me

Bill in action

Love this picture Vikki put on of Bill's Great Grandparents.  I am pretty sure it is Grandma and Grandpa Stelwag.   Bill sure does resemble him.

I had the pool all to myself tonight.  It was so warm!  Dad was in the other room in the clubhouse watching the Tiger game.  I went to the camper and change and came back to watch the game with him.  He wanted to leave after the 8th inning because they were behind 2 to nothing.  I told him I wanted to finish my blog so we stayed and they tied the game in the 9th inning.  He sure was glad he stayed to see it.

Had the hot tub all to myself too

We slept in til 8 and then got up and ate breakfast.  Dad called the guy from RV World to come look at the hot water heater.  He had to wait for him to call back and come so I went for a bike ride around the campground.  Love my seat, Kimmy!  Love that my bike brakes don't squeak anymore either.  Thanks to Kimmy and Jared taking it in and picking it up for me.  Kimmy left me her bike to use at the campground.  I have a wonderful family.  I came back and went for a walk around the campground.  I checked the water in the outside pool and it was real warm.  Too bad the air was so cold out.  I found a huge log in a fire pit so I told Bill when I got back.  He asked me to take the scooter and go get it, but I didn't want to as it was huge and I didn't want to try to balance it on the scooter.  About an hour later, Bill went on the scooter to get it.  He called me and said the scooter died and he plugged it in at the bathroom across from where the log was.  He thought he could charge it enough to get back here.  Shortly after, he came back with 2 huge logs.  I sure don't know how he carried them.  The guy came and looked at the hot water heater.  He is ordering a new motherboard and also a relay part.  The mother board will be around $100 and the other part much less.  He will have the part either tomorrow or the next day.  I am excited to have hot water. The relay will fix it so it will work on electric.  We have only used gas with it because it didn't work.  Yay.  We played ladder ball and he beat me.  I was ahead for half of the game and then he pulled ahead.  We had fun playing it and lots of laughs because the wind was gusting so much it would blow them off course.  We went to Shopko and walked around.  Got some quick dry towels that were on sale, a hose nozzle for the campground and one for home that were on sale, a drying mat for the camper and paper plates and bowels.   Oh, and Bill picked up some new cards(PLASTIC COATED).  I told him I just wanted regular cards and didn't want to pay extra for the plastic ones.  Guess after last night he is finished with the old ones we were using which were my mom and dad's.  We went to golf when we got back, but they were closed.  Bill walked to the clubhouse to watch the Tiger game.  I came back and changed and went swimming.  Loved the water being so nice.  Came home and changed and went back to watch the Tiger's with him.   Lord for this sweet healthy baby.  Took the computer and was so happy to see that Brian and Stacey had their baby boy and he is very healthy.  They had a lot of bad reports during the pregnancy.  Thank youCame home at 10 and played 3-13.  We used the new cards.  They were so slippery that we were dropping them, they would slide on their own across the table, the cards in the pile would slip off and we would have to catch them, and it was so hard to hang on to them while we shuffled.  I almost picked the old ones out of the trash.  Hopefully they get better after using them.  I won at cards tonight.  Bill won the first half of the game though.   

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

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.
