Bill went for a walk around the campground while I peeled carrots and potatoes for our dinner  tonight.  Vikki watched the butterfly so we would know when to watch it come out. I watched while I was peeling, then sat and watched when the action started. It was so amazing to see this beautiful butterfly make its way out.  I held it outside when we were going to let it go. It flew right away and landed on the camper, then flew in a pine tree on our site. It was there a couple of hours near the top and then flew to the other pine tree.  Bill and Isaac went fishing. Isaac caught a big bass.  Marie and Roy came at 1:30 right after we let it go.  We sat outside visiting, then Roy too a ride on Vikki’s bike.  We ate hobo dinners and ate a delicious cake Marie made.Vikki, Bill and I went for a walk so I got over 10,000 steps.  We played 3-13. Bill won!

Swam in pool! Our nice neighbors left.  We took pictures and hugged.  We sure are brothers and sisters in the Lord and felt that bond right away.  Bill and I walked and then played two games of putt putt .  He beat me by two points the first game and  one the second.  Vikki was at the beach when we got back so we went there and swam.  Melissa, Bruce and family camped in their trailer at our house while we were up her. She sent me the cute pictures.  A baby raccoon came up to their camper so Bruce caught it.  I Played dice with Peyton and Isaac.  Ordered Fergie’s pizza, drew pictures of each other, Bill and I went for another walk, Christians pulled in next door, Vikki and I went on a bike ride. We Played 3-13 after the kids went to bed.  Vikki won!

Vikki and the kids went outside this morning for about 10 minutes and came in and the butterfly was out already

Peyton and Isaac both lost a tooth on the same day!  Twins for sure!

Papa, Isaac and Peyton relaxing around the fire

Bill and I got up early and went home early to shower and get ready for church.  Vikki, Peyton and Isaac went to the campground church and so did our neighbors.  Right when I got home I went outside to look at the deck and it looks amazing.  Bill and all of our wonderful family helpers did a great job!  I worshipped and prayed before we went to our church service.  We are all  sitting just with family and 6 feet apart from others.  Great to be together again.  Wonderful message today!  After church we came home and I made brunch.  I watered all my inside and outside plants too since it’s been really dry out.  Bill drove the motorcycle backlog and I left 10 minutes later in the car.  We visited with our neighbors and found out they were leaving in the morning around 10.  We sure are going to miss them!  They told us we could have their big pile of wood.  They also gave us some Reese’s Pieces to try in our s’mores because the pastor said they were the best during his message in the morning.  Bill and I walked around the campground.
