I made sloppy joes in the morning and put it in the crock pot.  We thought Kimmy was coming up earlier, but it was mid afternoon when they got here.  They were so nice and brought Jack and Evan up to spend the night.  We walked and then went swimming in the outside pool.  It was a beautiful day and sunny.  We had fun in the pool except when we couldn't find Eli for a second (seemed longer). We were happy when we spotted him.  Bill and Jared ended up going to look at a tiller.  He bought it, so they took it home and Jared tried it out again.  The kids all went to the camp store which they love to do.  The guys got back and Kimmy and Jared were so happy about their tiller.  We are happy for them.!!! They are such hard workers!
We ate and then sang to Jacob and Adam for their Birthdays.  We had delicious cupcakes Kimmy made!  The boys opened their boogie boards we got them and were so happy!  Sure love those sweeties!  So nice having Vikki, Peyton, Isaac, Jack and Evan here to celebrate with us!  Sure love those sweeties too.   We took another walk and these boys had some cool light up things you shoot from a sling shot into the air.  Vikki and Kimmy sure are good with their nephews and are such a great help.  Vikki went to get some for Peyton and Isaac.  I decided to go get some for all the grandkids.  They had so much fun playing with them.  They were only $1.69 each.  Sure got our money's worth.  Max and Jack were happy to sleep in the bunk house.  They were very good and so much fun to have here.

5/26/17 Happy 12th Birthday Jacob!


A very Happy Birthday to our Jacob!  What an amazing, talented, loving grandson you are!  You have such a great personality and excell in all you!  We are proud of you and couldn't love you more!
Called Jacob to wish him a happy birthday.  Can't wait to celebrate tomorrow!
Jacob build this out of legos!  He is so talented!

Bill came back up to the campground.  Vikki , Peyton and Isaac came up too.  We went for a walk and saw a beautiful black golden doodle.  We also went swimming and relaxed in the hot tub!  I made chicken and Vikki brought yummy carrots and potatoes!  Peyton likes hers mashed together like we do!  We went for ice cream afterwards at the pavilion but the were already closed.  Bill played dice with Peyton while Vikki, Isaac and I walked.  After the kids went to bed, Vikki, Bill and I played 3-13 while we listened to a new worship CD Vikki brought.  Vikki won!

5/25/17....Quiet, cool day today.

Kimmy and Jared's new deck they built!  Looks so great!

Used my new induction burner for the first time in the camper to boil eggs.  It works great!  Fast and easy to wipe off afterwards.  Thank you girls and families!

Not much going on today.  I am reading The Way of a Shepherd.  It's a book our pastor wants us to read.  Very interesting as it relates sheep and a shepherd to us.  I am going to pass it on to Kimmy and Jared when I am done.  Bill went to the doctor and has to have an appointment with and ENT doctor as the problem is in his throat, not cause by his medicine.  Praying for God to heal him of this cough quickly.

5/24/17...Max and his relay team place third in the relay.

Max excited with his metal

Here's my fast runner in action

Went home for the day!  Everything looked beautiful in blossom.  Bill did an amazing job on the edging in the back of the house!!!








Hailey sad before she had her stitches in her foot

Hailey happy after she had her 3 stitches

I went home early in the morning and went out to breakfast with Kenzie.  I took her diploma to her and a camping chair.  We had a nice visit.  Saw a nice young guy in Tim Horton's taking care of a guy from Riversbend Brain Injury Home where Joel lives.  Talked to him for a while and thanked him for what he does and how kind they are there.  Went to Vikki's for a minute.  Got home and Bill had all the edging done in the back of the house.  I had told him I would help when I got home but he hurried and got it done.  Don't know how he did it with his knees how they are, but where there's a will there's a way.  Everything sure looked beautiful in the yard.  We went to Home Depot and got tubing and netting to put over our strawberries.  They are looking so nice and sure don't want the birds to get them.  Called my dentist to see if they took Bill's insurance.  They had a cancellation so took him in at 3 p.m. today.  We met Sue, Chuck, Vicky, Jeff, Gary, Dorthy, Kenny and Kitty for steak sandwiches at the Falcon's Club.  They were delicious.  We went home and I packed some stuff and headed back up to the camper.  Bill has a doctor appt. tomorrow so will be coming up Friday.  Got to the camper safely.  Went to bed at 9 as I was really tired and my sinus's were acting up.  Melissa messaged me that they had taken Hailey in and she was having stitches in her foot.  I  didn't get it till 4 in the morning when I woke up because my head was stuffed up.  Hailey had got up and not turned the light on and her foot landed on the carpet shampooer and got cut.  My poor girl.  Praying it heals quickly.

5/23/17. Kimmy came up for the day.

Got ready, took doggie out, made coffee and was about to walk to the store when Kimmygot here.  I was one happy mom to see her.  We went for a ride on our Dahon bikes.  I haven't gone by myself because I was concerned something might happen.  They are foldable so I wanted to make sure I had everything right.  Kimmy helped get everything set right on them, took care of a tire rubbing issue, and then they were as good a new!  She is amazing at fixing things and figuring things out.We rode to the store.  We got back and we figured out how to fold the bikes and put them in their carrying bags.
We went to the clubhouse and watched a video on it and then went outside and practiced.  Good thing Kimmy was here to help me.  We came back to the camper and really got it down good.  Love these bikes I got at a garagesale.  They ride really nice and can coast for a long way! We went for a walk around the campground, but headed back whennit started to sprinkle.  Made lunch and sat in the clam to eat it.  After lunch, we went swimming.  We were going to swim actively for a half hour, always moving.  Well it seemed like forever for time to pass.  We went in the hot tub and Kimmy said the clock was stopping.  I went and checked my phone for the time and it said 1:43, not 1:15 like the clock said.  We must have been moving in the pool for one hour.  We should sleep good tonight.  When we got back, I looked at all the beautiful school dinner bags Kimmy, Jared and the boys had decorated,  they had a big stack and they were beautiful!  So thankful for their help and Vikki and the kids help!  Kimmy left at 2:30.  It was just sprinkling until she got close to home where it started raining harder.  I was happy to hear she was home safe.  Such a fun day with her

5/22/17....Rained in the early morning, but then was a beautiful day. Went for a walk, went for a swim and spent time in the Clam.

Heard it raining out before I got up.  Got up and got ready so I could take Mocha outside.  Happy the rain had stopped.  Ate corn flakes for breakfast.  I haven't had them for a long time so they tasted great, especially with Kimmy and Jared's honey on them.  I went for a walk around the campground.  There are still a lot of campers here.  I went to the clubhouse so I could get wifi to catch up on my blog.  After that, I went swimming. Kept moving in the pool for the first half hour.  Time sure went slow.  I was wondering if the battery is getting old in their clock.  Came back to the camper and had lunch.  Sat out in the Clam screen tent for a while and read and relaxed.  Weather still is nice out and 67 degrees.  I watched the movie, "Loce Comes Softly".  Bill called to see how I was doing.  He told me he picked up the sod pieces that were around the back of the house from me digging to make landscape area bigger.  That sure was nice of him!  Talked to my girls.  Kimmy is coming up tomorrow.  Can't wait.  Sure love my family and I sure am blessed!
Took some pictures of the camper for this year's post
