8/14/17...Max, Hailey and I headed to the Fair to see Jacob and Adam show their sheep. Stopped to trade my car for Bill's truck at Sports Zone because he had a dr. Appt. for his knee in Detroit. Jared's parents were at the fair too.

8/13/17 Headed home from the Ark, Hailey and Max spent the night.

Breakfast at the hotel.  Dan and Renee are missing from the picture. (and me)

Heading out

Getting back in Michigan

Isaac and Peyton

Me, Melissa and Hailey

We ate and then left the hotel at 8 a.m.  It was a beautiful morning.  We rode on the expressway so we could get back faster so Rocendo's bike battery would go farther.  It did amazing....We made it over half way before the guys had to change his battery.  We stopped at Arby's to eat on the way home.  We made it the rest of the way home and all went well.  Went to get Mocha when I got home.  Vikki made me soft chicken tacos and gave me watermelon too.  So delicious!  After I got home, I called Melissa to see what kids wanted to go to the fair with me tomorrow.  Hailey and Max did so I had them spend the night.  Melissa brought them over and she visited for a while.  At 10 Melissa and I went and laid on the lawn on a blanket and covered up with another blanket.  We were watching for meteors but didn't see any of them.  We watched the clouds move in and the stars disappeared, so we came in and Melissa left.  

8/12/17...Spent the day at the Ark

The Ark lit up like a rainbow that night.  We walked over just to see it.

We ate breakfast in the cafe of our hotel, then we all got ready, prayed and left to go to the Ark.  We were blessed that when Bill did a wedding a couple of weeks ago, we sat with the Brides Brother and his wife.  We told the wife we were going to the Ark and she said her daughter could probably get us discounted tickets.  Well a few minutes later, she brought her daughter over and we exchanged information.  We texted and she ended up getting us ten tickets for $20.  The regular price is $40, $31 for seniors.  There were only 5 of us who could get senior price.  We shared the tickets and everyone was really happy to have such a big savings.  So thankful to Stefanie and God!

We got on the bus which took us back to the Ark.  It was a wonderful day with much to see.  We ate an amazing meal.  There was a buffet with salad bar, desert bar and drinks included.  Got to spend a lot of time talking to a really nice family from Virginia.  The man was a pastor.  I shared about all God had done in our family and she shared about the miracle she is.  The whole day reminded us of what an awesome God we serve.  So thankful Jesus is the door for us to get to heaven.
