Some animal was eating the blossoms off from my petunias so I put them in a pot on the back porch and planted knockout roses, day lilies and hostas instead

Got up and watered a few plants.  Left for Kimmy's to spend the day.  Max was there and when I walked in he said, "Do I have to go home NOW".  I told him I was spending the day so he could still stay which made him very happy.  He was having so much fun with Aunt Kimmy and the boys.
Kimmy and I had a coffee and then we went out to watch the boys swim.  They sure were having fun floating in the pool.  Kimmy and I walked around looking at her flowers by the house and in the woods.  Jacob showed me their sheep for 4 H.  They are sure nice looking sheep.  After the boys were done swimming, they played with legos.  We ate a yummy lunch and then went to the Cottage Creamery for ice cream.  We ate out on the deck in back.  All of the kids got cups except Eli.  Kimmy and I had waffle cones.  Mine ice cream was melting quickly.  Hard to keep up with it.  Eli's was too, so Kimmy got him a cup to put it in.  They also had free popcorn inside so the boys got some of that.  They had fun afterwards playing in the tree and also playing with chalk.  We went back to Kimmy's and Kimmy and I decided to go out and swim with the kids.  The water felt cold at first but in a few minutes it was great.  We stayed in a long time and had lots of fun making whirlpools and playing games.  Such a blessing for them to have this pool Kimmy found for free.  I sure enjoyed cooling off, getting exercise, and enjoying my family.   It was 91 degrees out today!  I loved seeing Kimmy Card the wool with her new electric Carder.  Loved seeing all of their pottery that they made too.  They got another review that was great and have a five star rating.  They sure do quality work and have great professional service.  Proud of them!   I took Max home with me.  We stopped at my house for a while and then went to McDonalds.  We got lots of free stuff with coupons.  He didn't want to play there...my boy is growing up.  We went to his house and on the way he said he wanted to check on his animals, make sure his legos were still built and then take a nap.  We sure had fun with him and the boys today.  I stopped at Menard's and got some plants to put where my petunias are.  When I got home I dug up the petunias I had just planted and put them in a huge urn.  I planted hostas, day lilies, and knock out roses in front of the house where the petunias were.  Looks so nice and now I don't have to worry about the animals eating my petunias.  Bill went to a meeting at Bay Shore for the board of directors.  He got home around 8:30.  He said it went well.

I drove the car to Meijer's while Bill rode on the bike.  I had to bring the banner and stuff for the table we have set up after service.  Bill, Sabrina, Katelyn, Rocco, Geona, Jaden, Brian, and Elaine met us at Meijer's.  We rode to Amazing Grace as a group.  Chad Krueger met me in the parking lot and gave me a big hug.  It was nice seeing his parents and many other longtime friends. (Jeannie and Mark, Kathy Daily, the Clark's, and Joan Sample.  Bill did an amazing job when he spoke to the congregation.  After the service, we stayed and talked to people who came to our table.  Some were outside to let people sit on their bikes.  The worship was amazing and the pastor's message was good.
I headed to Frankenmuth and told Bill I was going to stop and change into my summer clothes at Melissa's.  On my way I decided to change at a Subway I went by.  I waited to see if he would go by on the bike but then figured he must have already went by.  I headed to Frankenmuth and when I was almost there he called and said he had just got there. He had a hotdog for me when I saw him which was really sweet since I didn't have time to eat breakfast and it was already 1:30.   I got there for the last half of the parade and was happy I was able to see Matthew in it.  The Burtch's were in it too.  The kids were fun to watch as they watched the parade and collected candy.  We went to Debbie's afterward and everyone in our family swam but Bill.  The kids have so much fun there swimming with each other.  Isaac learned to dive and does it perfectly.  Pretty good for a 5 year old.  The food was delicious!  What a fun day with family!  Bill and I played 3-13 and I was the lucky winner tonight.
