9/19/17..Went for a bike ride, went for a walk around the campground, Vikki and Terry picked us up to spend the day together

Went for a swim this morning....it was so nice....the kiddy pool is almost as big as the regular pool

We drove down by the State Campground

Train in Grand Haven

Cross on the hill....I found out later it was changed because someone wanted the cross down.  It still looked like a cross even though there is an anchor and a flag so I was happy about that.

We drove through the campground where Bruce and Melissa met

Got up and read the Bible.  Went for a bike ride around the whole campground.  Lots of hills so got a good workout.  Made oatmeal for our breakfast.  We walked around the campground.  Found some wood someone left so got the truck and got it. Went to deposit money in the bank and then rode around down by the State Park in Grand Haven. Drove through the campground where Melissa and Bruce met. Came back and played agame of 3-13.  Then we relaxed and read our books until Vikki and Terry picked us up at 1:30.  Went to General RV in Waylon.  Went to Holland and they took us by their church and the by Shani's house.  They took us by the mansion the owner of General RV is building in Grand Haven.  It was amazing.  We went to a really nice restaurant, called The Stable, down the road from our campground.  Vikki and I had the perch and steak and the guys had spaghetti and meatballs.  Great salad bar too.  We were stuffed when we left.  They brought us back to the campground and we followed them to their house to hang out.  Terry put wood floors in the living room and bedrooms.  They look beautiful.  He also put ceramic tiles that look like a grey brick design in the hallway, foyer and kitchen. Blooms amazing.  He took the bathtub out and put in a beautiful ceramic shower in.  He is gifted by the Lord and does amazing work.  We were visiting and the power went out.  They got flashlights out and we visited til the power came back on about forty minutes later.  We stayed til about 10:09 and headed back to the campground.

9/18/17....Finished packing and left at 10:30. Went to the bank to deposit the Marine Corp money. Couldn't do the chai get because they didn't have a counting machine. Went to another bank that had the machine to count change. Finally started on our trip. Stopped at Tim Horton's....Got to campground...Best Friend Vikki and her hubby came to eat with us

Lots of campsites have raised fire pits.  You sure don't get very warm by them

Packed all the last minute stuff in the camper.  Went to deposit the collection money when we headed out.  Had to take the change to another bank that had a change counter.  Started on our trip.  Stopped at Tim Horton's for a sandwich, donut and ice tea.  Bill got a cinnamon raisin bagel, a donut and coffee.  We got to Grand Haven and stopped for gas.  Got to the campground and parked while we walked around looking at campsites.  We ended up liking the one we are on so stayed put on 138.  We were setting up and a guy next door came and talked to us.  He was nice and was a Christian.  They are all Christians next to us which is very nice.  After we got set up and registered, Aunt Vikki and Uncle Terry came to eat with us.  We had chili with all the fixings and blueberry pie for dessert.  We walked all around the campground after that.  Came back and sat around the campfire.  We were all too full for s'mores.  Aunt Vikki loved her bracelets from Vikki and put them on right away.  She loved Her thank you notes from Peyton and Isaac and she and Terry thought they have great handwriting.  Next she opened Kimmy and Jared's honey and were so excited!  They loved the labels.  (Jared met me at 6:30 this morning to bring me the honey with their new labels and dryer balls in a pretty bag) Vikki can't wait to use the dryer balls.

9/17/17...Went to church....Bill went to Walmart to collect money for the Marine Corp League ,

Papa and Peyton collecting money for the Marine Corp League

Cutie Peyton

Mommy, Daddy and baby turkeys came passing through our yard today!  They were so cute.  Bill has turkey fever now

Went to church!  The remodeling of our foyer is coming along nicely.  The volunteers from church  started on it Friday.  Pastor's message was really good.  Got to pray with Kim R. after church in the parking lot.  Her back was in a lot of pain after helping at church Fri.  After church, Bill went to collect money at Walmart and I went to Vikki's for a little while.  Came home and warmed up some roast and ate.  Started packing and got everything done except last minute stuff. Melissa and her family went to see Bill at Walmart and took him water and grapes.  Vikki and Peyton went to see him too.  I went to Walmart to see Bill and donate.  Picked up some things for Vikki to take to her.  They didn't have Spatz bread so I went to Jacks to get it.  Helped Bill count money when he got home. Made ground bologna and also made a blueberry pie to take camping.  

9/16/17...Went to Jack's first soccer game, Melissa, Hailey, Jack, Evan, Vikki and Isaac came back to my house for roast, carrots and potatoes....went to Adam's soccer game at 4 and then went to Kimmy and Jared's house and hung out for a while

Jack's first soccer game....he was always after the ball....no fear....gave it some good long kicks

Jack's in the grey shirt running towards the ball

Jack was after the ball in each of these pictures plus many more I didn't put on.  I got tired just watching him.  

It was so nice that Jack's teacher came to his game.  You should have seen the happy look on his face when he saw her.  He came running to her and gave her a hug!

Adam was really on the move in his game and gave some good kicks.  His field was bigger so it was harder to get pictures.  He has the blue socks on!

Put a roast, carrots and potatoes in the oven.  Made chili for our camping trip.  Got ready and went to Jack's first soccer game. He just started loving any kind of ball, but soccer is the one he wanted to play.  I was amazed how he was always after the ball and kicked it so good.  He was so happy when he saw his teacher was there to watch him play.  Vikki went to Melissa's house to ride with her, which was good because Melissa's van wouldn't start because the battery was dead.  Bruce took Max to his appointment and Hailey was with Ally so Melissa, Jack and Evan got in Vikki's car and rode with her.  Good thing she only brought Isaac.  God sure worked it out so Jack could get to his game.  I met them there and saw them as soon as I got out of my car.  After the game, Vikki picked up Hailey and they all came to my house to eat the roast I had made.  The kids played with legos and Hailey watched a show and then it was time for Vikki to go get Peyton and leave Isaac with Rody so we could go to Adam's game.   Vikki said we needed to leave so we headed to Midland and then realized we were an hour early.  We went to Salvation Army and Goodwill to look around.  I found an Anna Maria Island sweatshirt at Salvation Army.  We went to Adam's game after that.  Adam has improved so much and was really moving after the ball.  He got a couple of good kicks in, but I missed getting a picture. Boo Hoo!  Both games were 3 to 2.  Our grandkid's team's didn't win but they sure played good games.  Vikki took Peyton to the bathroom and when she walked by the concession stand, they gave her the leftover pizza and breadsticks for free.  Kimmy divided it up between the kids at her house.  We had a nice time at Kimmy and Jared's after the game.  Their kittens are so cute.  Love how happy the boys are when they hold them.  Came home and Vikki helped count the collection for the Marine Corp League.  

9/15/17...Waited in the morning to see if I would need to take Peyton to the dr. for Vikki, Went to Melissa's to take feathers from Sue to her for the boys, went grocery shopping and went to Marine Corp Picnic at Dutch and Dorothy's house

The sunrise was beautiful this morning....Picture doesn't capture  how beautiful it was

I was going to get a picture of Mocha all stretched out sleeping on the couch, but she woke up.  Looks like a bad hair day for her

Max was excited about the feathers Sue sent him

He was happy to get a toy soldier that Sue tucked in his package

Picnic/potluck at Dutch and Dorothy's for Marine Corp League

Got up and waited for Vikki to call to see if I was needed to take Peyton to the Dr. for her hurt foot.  Sure was praying for my little sweetie.  Didn't want Vikki to have to miss work since she just started her job.  Peyton wore her boot to work which is what they did when she first broke her foot before.
Dr. was only open half a day, but when Peyton got home her foot was fine and she was walking on it. Sure am praising God.  I went to Aldi's and a nice lady gave me her cart and wouldn't take the quarter.  I tried paying it forward, but the guy going in didn't need a cart and there was no one else around.  I will next time though.  I stopped at Melissa's for a few minutes after that and gave her the feathers Sue dropped off at my house for the boys.  Then I went to Kroger's to get groceries for our camping trip.  Got home just in time to put cold stuff away and leave for the picnic for the Marine Corp League.  Had a very nice time.  Everyone there commented on my meatballs and said they were delicious.  Dutch's sister had pneumonia, then got an abscess and infection in her lung so had to go to Ford Hospital.  She is recouping at their house since it is all on one floor.  Got to share what an amazing miracle God did for Melissa.  She was so happy to hear about it.
