5/26/18..HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WONDERFUL GRANDSON JACOB! IT'S THE BIG 13! WOW WHERE DID TIME GO. I LOVE THIS AMAZING BOY SO MUCH AND I AM SO PROUD OF HIM! Melissa, Bruce and the Kids came up for the day and brought Hailey to stay with us so she could hang out with Mia. Swam, went to church services, and went to the campfire sing along.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOB!

5/25/18 Left for BayShore at 9:15 a.m. Got to BayShore and set up the camper! It I love how easy it is to set up. Swam in the pool. Went on a wagon ride to town for ice cream. Vikki and the kids came up. We all played 3-13. Vikki was the winner

Camper all set up!

The ride back to the campground

We left for the campground at 9:15 a.m.  On the way up, Bill asked me if Vikki was coming up.  He told me to call her.  Thought that was so sweet.  We got there and Bill did a great job parking the camper.  It was very easy to set up.  We just put the orange things under the levels and pushed the button inside and it leveled itself.  Bill put the outside stuff out and I set up the inside and then pushed the button and put the awning out.  Inside was easy too with no antenna to put up, not having to program the tv and set it up, and no chairs to move.  I did forget quite a few things so had to run to the store. Bill told me to call Vikki and tell her to bring the kids and come up.  I was happy when she said yes.  After we got set up, we heard that they opened the pool.  We went for a swim.  The water was warm.  Vikki and the kids came after we got out of the pool. We got back to the camper and made dinner and then met at the office for a wagon ride for ice cream.  It was fun and so beautiful out.  In the 80's. The kids loved it and so did us big kids.  We enjoyed the ice cream and then came back to the campground.  Played 3-13 at Wes and Gayla's.  Vikki was the winner.

Our new air conditioner!  We are loving it

I was so happy when I got home from Melissa's to start packing the camper and found that Vikki had got me this iced drink from Starbuck's.  It was cool and delicious!  Thank you so much Vikki!

Love getting all these pictures of Hailey on her class trip.  She is having so much fun!
Bill picked up the camper.  We totally emptied it out before taking it there so now we need to put everything back in it, plus food and other stuff we are taking to BayShore in the morning.
I came home after picking Melissa's kiddos up from school and started packing the camper.  Bill put everything back underneath in the storage areas while I worked on the inside.  He helped me get the tubs by the camper door and then handed them in to me.  It was a big job to do in such little time, but we got done by 10 p.m.  I got ready and went back to Melissa's to spend the night.  We stayed up and visited and then went to bed.

5/23/18...Helped Melissa in the morning, came home and weeded around the house, Dropped some donations off at His Restoration, Went to pick up kids, did a few things for Melissa, Came home and got some things ready for camping, Went back to spend the night at Melissas

Nice selfie Bruce took in front of the cathedral

Isaac an Peyton with the books they wrote about their caterpillars they made.

Evan, Jack and Max.

I got some things ready for the camper.  We can't pick it up until tomorrow, and it is totally empty, so I am getting everything I can ready ahead of time.  Melissa called to let me know Bruce's mom wasn't going to be able to come spend tonight through Friday.  Her and Ron were on their way and had a blowout and the wheel was loose so they couldn't drive it.  I think she would have tried to do to much to not bother them, so it's probably good that I will spend the night again.  She's very comfortable with me so doesn't mind resting when she needs to or letting me do stuff for her.  Went to Vikki's house to see Peyton and Isaac's books they wrote about their caterpillars.  They sure did a great job writing and drawing pictures.  They pictures Vikki took of their caterpillars doing different things were really cute in the book too.
What a fun project.  I picked the boys up and went in to help with homework.  They didn't have a lot so I went home for a couple of hours and got my flower beds weeded and put Preen down.  Trying to get all around the house done before I go.  Went to Melissa's and helped with some things, helped tuck in kiddos, and spent time visiting with Melissa.  She is such a sweetie.  Love spending time with her.

5/22/18,,,Hailey and her classes 2nd day in DC.. Spent the night at Melissa's...went to Evan's play and auction.

Hailey and her class at the World War II Memorial

Hailey and her class are seeing lots of great places  Today they went to the World War II Memorial. Hailey told me when she got home that it was her favorite place they visited.  Ginny, her four kids, and her mom brought pizzas, breadsticks, and cookies over for dinner for us tonight.  They stayed and ate with us and we had a very nice time.  They left and took Evan with them so he could go to the school for his play.  He is the mayor in the skit and so is Daniel.  They had to split the class in half so each did the same skit.  Ginny was sweet and let Evan use Daniel's Mayor costume.  After they left, Chrystal brought over a huge pasta dinner and some cookies.  She had said she was going to bring it last night, but must have gotten mixed up.  She visited for a while, but we finally told her we had to get to the school for Evan's program.  We messaged Bill to save us a place for the program.  We put the dinner in the refrigerator for tomorrow night. We made it to Evan's program right before it started.  They had a silent auction to auction off the clay pots the first graders made.  Evan's was really cute.  Ginny bid on it, then someone else, then Melissa, then Ginny and then Melissa.  Melissa won the bid.  I did her bidding because she had the walker an walking was difficult because the place was so packed.  Bill didn't get our message, but Ginny's mom, and her mother and father in law, let us sit with them.  We all squeezed in.  The kids were all happy that their mom's won their clay pots.  Evan did a great job being the mayor in the skit.  I spent the night at their house again and after I read the Bible to Evan, he said he had something to give me.  He started taking some stuff out of a clay pot, and gave me the clay pot he made last year.  It was so sweet of him.  Melissa and I stayed up pretty late and had a milky way and some cashews.
