6/27/16...went to Tawas, then a beautiful dog friendly beach in Oscoda,then ice cream in Standish, then around our campfire with Nikki, Gregand family. Such a nice day

Vikki warmed our pizza on the grill. But was delicious and Krispy 

Got to Tawas and our usual parking lot was closed to the public because of construction.   Found a shaded spot in town not too far away.  Went through some stores before going to the beach. When we got to the Ben Franklin Store, Vikki found out they were pet friendly.  Most stores after that were too.  Had fun going through shops and Vikki had fun showing Lenny off.  Everyone loved him.  We decided to eat after that.  We talked about eating in the car.  Then I asked at G's pizzeria and the let pets in the outside section.  We were very happy about that.  Had a very nice waitress and she even brought Lenny water.  The pizza was delicious of course.  Better than any other G's even.  We went to the Tawas beach after that.  It wasn't pet friendly so we put Lenny by a tree in the grass and we put our towels on the grass.  Got wet and the kids played in the sand. We wet our shirts so we would be cool on the dock.  The water by the edge of the beach was yucky so we decided to find a pet friendly beach.  Ended up on Oscoda and it was a beautiful place with lots for the kids.  It was pretty cool because the sun went under clouds.  We had on our wet shirts too.  Burr.  The kids had lots of fun and so did we.  When our girls were young we stopped at a grocery store and bought stuff for sandwiches and had a picnic there with Grandma and grandpa. Brought back memories.  It sure is lots nicer now.  Went back to campground and went by Greg and the kids at the playground.  He asked where we were all day so we told him.  He, Nikki and their kids came over to our campfire and we talked and had smores.  Lots of fun!  Greg took all the kids for a ride in his golf cart while Nikki stayed with us and visited.  She was really nice and we were glad she came.  They left at around 10:30 and then Vikki and I played cards and dice.

 We took Rody home and then went home to get ready for church.  I had training for our new Sunday School curriculum with Brenda and Bill had to speak for FaithRiders at Trinity Baptist church.  Evan was so good for his first time in my class.  He raised his hand every time and spoke clearly when called on.   Was so proud of him. After church I met Bill and everyone at the Rustic inn.  I had a delicious grilled chicken sandwich and jumbo delicious fries.  Lots of food for $5.99.  Our table was really close to the table behind us.  I looked at the back of the guy and prayed they would finish eating quickly so I would be able to move.  Bill decided to get up and give some cards to them and the couple they were with for the moving of the Vietnam wall.  We were surprised to find out it was Pastor Weldon and Kathy right behind us.  We visited with them and were so happy to them.  Kathy kissed my cheek and told me she loved me when she left.  They were so sweet. They want us to do a motorcycle visit to their church.  We got back to the campsite around 2:30 and shortly after, Greg and Brooke came to visit.  She was a little shy for the first few minutes but then she started having so much fun with the kids.  He let Bill drive us in the golf cart.  We went to  see Nikki at their campsite and told her we tied him to a tree and got the cart but we were going to go back and get him.  She laughed.  The other two kids rode their bikes over and stayed at our campsite too.  Greg took all the kids to the store but it was closed so they came back right away.  He took them all to his campsite for a while too.  Peyton and Isaac were so happy.  They came back and stayed at our campsite till after 10.  We had so much fun visiting with them and getting to know the kids.  Played dice and cards.  Bill won in cards and I won dice

6/25/16. Rody came to spend the day and night. Bill married Lynn and Russ in Pinconning

6/24/16....Kimmy and the boys came for the day! Greg Turner and his family are spending two weeks camping here

Jacob, Adam, (and Frankie) Eli

Isaac, And Peyton 

Jacob, Adam and Eli had fun in the inside pool with the glow diving sticks.  They worked really good in there because it was darker.  We had a hard time seeing them in the outside pool

Jacob spent a lot of time drawing on the etch a sketch

Isaac's new shirt matched his bike and helmet perfectly 

Out for an evening swim

We stayed up late last night so slept in til 9.  Got ready, ate breakfast and then went to a garage sale near the campground.  Didn't get anything.  Right after we got back,  Kimmy and the boys got there.  One of the workers on the golf cart told Kimmy she was going too fast.  Over 5 mph.  Kimmy is a rule follower and was going as slow as she could without stalling the car.  He was the same one who told me to slow down cuz I was  stirring up too much dust.  He is really nice though.  We sat and relaxed, then made chicken hobo dinners and then

Went swimming in the outdoor pool.  After Kimmy, the boys and I went to the indoor pool to try in glow diving sticks.  They were really bright there because it's darker in there.  They had so much fun with them.  We saw Nikki Turner and her kids there.  Went to the store and then for ice cream.  Vikki got free ice cream for the second day because she's her favorite customer.  Kimmy, Eli and I went for a walk around the campground and stopped to talk to Greg and his family.  Scott that we prayed with was visiting them.  Greg taught him about cement a few years ago.  Small world!  Vikki and Isaac ran to town so I took Peyton to the indoor pool to try the glow sticks.  We had fun.  Came back and Vikki had her suit on so we went back to the pool

And they swam and I went in the hot tub.

Went for a walk around the campground and then came back and played our games
