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.

6/10/17...Picked up Jacob from Melissa's, Went to Eli and Adam's Soccer Game, Brought Jack home with me, Went to Nick's and Kaitlyn's graduation party

I looked out this morning and there were 3 new blossoms on my Hibiscus.  So beautiful!

Jacob and I saved a space for when Kimmy, Jared and the boys came
Jacob and I beat Jared, Kimmy, Adam and Eli to the soccer field.  We were happy when we saw Jared was coming with a smile and a wave


Jack, Adam and Jacob waiting for Eli's game to start 





Such a cute picture of Eli

Jack with Papa on the motorcycle.  Bill drove him up the driveway
Got ready and went to get Jacob from Melissa's.  He spent the night there and Jack spent the night at Kimmy's.  Jacob and I stopped at Tim Horton's and had donuts.  After that we came home and got our stuff and headed for the boy's soccer games.  We were there first and Jacob wondered if I had gotten the number of the field Eli was playing on right.  I called Kimmy and we were at the right field.  We sure were happy when they got there shortly after.  Eli played a good game.  Jack really got into watching it.  Adam's game was at one so the kids ate lunch and then we sat under a tree until it was time for Adam's game.  I love watching them play soccer but it sure has it's tense moments.  Adam asked me to come swimming afterward, but I had two graduation parties to go to.  Bill was home working on the motorcycle to get the shocks on for tomorrow's ride.  He wanted to go to the games but couldn't.  I took Jack and we stopped at McDonald's on the way home.  He ate it at my house and then we left for the party.  We dropped him off at his house on our way home.  Nick's party was at the Falcon's Club and was nice with great food.  Air conditioning was great.   We sat with people from Faith Rider's.  After that we went to Kaitlyn's graduation.  They had good food too, but we were full.
We did eat some watermelon.  Came home and Bill got the shock's working right on the bike for tomorrow.
