Kimmy and the boys came over.  She brought Norman too.  It's his 6th birthday today. We ate lunch at my house and then met Vikki, Peyton and Isaac at the park.  We all walked around the pond.  Kimmy had to take the 3 boys to dentist appointments.  I took Peyton home with me and then we went to Vikki's house to wait for Kimmy to call.  We met at McDonalds after their appointments.  The kids all had shakes and we had mocha frappes.  Had fun watching the kids.  Went home and made blt's with tomatoes and lettuce from the garden.

Bill and I took Melissa's hope chest Cathy Krause had got for her to her house and picked up my hope chest my mom and dad had got for me.  Mine matches my new bedroom furniture.  So happy to have the one grandma picked out back.  It has an upholstered top so dad can sit on it to put his socks on.

8/8/16....Happy 18th Anniversary Melissa and Brice! Love you and sohappy God brought you together

Love sweet daughter, Melissa,and  son in law Bruce.  Praying God's continued blessings on them always

We were happy to get a surprise visit from Kenzie today.  We looked at the swings and she was on one!  Then she headed for the trampoline!

                     Kenzie having fun with Isaac!

Hailey and I watched a Little House while her mom and dad went out for their anniversary

Evan.  I forgot to get a picture earlier so went upstairs and got one of Evan in Bed

Max came out of his room to see what we were doing

               Love this picture of Eli, Norman, Jacob and Adam at Copper Harbor!

Kimmy and the boys came over this morning.  So nice to have them spend the day.  The kids jumped on the trampoline, played with legos, the train set, cars and played Indiana Jones.  Peyton played with dolls and barbies.  Adam went to the store with Papa and got some bread and lunchmeat.  Poor Peyton had a PB&J sandwich before they got back and I used bread that had been in the camper.  There was lots of mold on her sandwich and we didn't notice until she was eating it.  YUK
We were thankful when Bill walked in with fresh bread.  Vikki came over with Peyton and Isaac.  She left for a little while to walk with Misty, then came back.  Lenny seemed happy to be able to be out and about again after being fixed.  The guy from Hansen's roofing came and talked to us.  We signed up for him to do our roof.  Ate chicken, potatoes and corn and then headed to Melissa's.  I stayed with the kids while she and Bruce went out for their anniversary.    They went to Applebee's and then took a walk on the rail trail.  I had fun with the kiddos.

8/7/16....Went to church and then decided to go to Tawas. We had such a nice time and the weather was beautiful.

Started our day by having some of our cinnamon roll from Kimmy and Jared.  It was delicious.  I added some walnuts to make it nutritious 

Happy to see Peyton, Rody and Isaac at church.  Nice sitting by them and Stacie today

Stopped at Tacey's in Standish for my favorite ice cream...black raspberry bugaboo.  It was yummy.  Bill got vanilla soft serve with chocolate on it in a cup

Here's mine before it disappeared

Such a beautiful day for a drive along Lake Huron

Stopped at an art fair in Tawas

Went to G's in Tawas for Pizza!

Selfie along the beach

Bill walking out on the dock

Two cute birds and some ducks 

Selfie on the Dock....lots of memories on this dock way back to Grandma Daisy and Grandpa Adam fishing with their cane poles.  Now every year we are making more memories

Bill almost to the end of the dock

Lots of boats up there today.  The water was so pretty.

Bill took a picture of me with all the boats behind

The beach was beautiful and was really clean this time.  Last time there were lots of Mayflies

Bill by the Veteran's Memorial Garden

We walked through the campground by the beach in Tawas.  

I hate to admit it, but we went to Marion's and had another ice cream cone because they make their own waffle cones there.  I had chocolate peanut butter cup and Bill had cookies and cream

Went to church and then came home and got ready to go to Tawas.  We stopped in Standish for an ice cream cone and then enjoyed the ride to Tawas.  Walked around the art fair at a beach before you get into Tawas.  It was very nice and the beach was dog friendly so Vikki will like that.  

We went to G's Pizzeria and had pizza and watched the Tiger Game.  They lost! boo hoo.

After we ate, we walked through stores.  Saw Rick and Pam when we came out of the first store.  

Went to Ben Franklin (my favorite store in Tawas) and got a couple of things there.  Finished going in stores and then walked out on the dock.  After that we walked through the campground there.  It is so nice and it's unbelievable the things people have at their campsites.  Amazing lawn furniture, their own steps, plants galore, swings, snack bars, etc.  You can tell they stay their the whole summer.  We left and decided to get another ice cream cone at Marion's because we heard they make their own waffle cones and they are delicious.  They sure were.  What a fun day with Bill.
