Bill went home to get wood and work on the deck to the pool. He got home and ate breakfast with Bruce and family. Bruce made it on the grill.  Bruce and Max helped with the deck.  Vikki, the twins and I went for a swim in the pool when it opened because we saw it was empty.  Got a good swim in.  Melissa called and Adam texted.  Kimmy and  the boys got here right after we finished swimming. We decided to go to Tawas and Oscoda.  We picked up pizza’s from G’s and then ate in the parking lot by our cars.  It was yummy and fun. We walked out on the  boat dock after that.  They have all the boats docked on the new docks.  Took all the docks off the big walkway.  It was a beautiful day out.  The water is sure up close to the campground in Tawas now.   We went to Oscoda beach but there were too many people so we didn’t stop.  We went up the road a few miles and stopped at a little roadside park with a path and trail to the beach which wasn't far at all.  It was beautiful!  We all swam and had fun!  The water stayed shallow for a long ways out.  There were really warm spots and cool spots in the water.  Lucy swam, f didn’t really like the water.  We stayed for quite a while.  Stopped at McDonalds and we all got shakes on the way home. They were really careful and wore masks and gloves. Kimmy sanitized everything.  The inside of McDonald's is still closed.  When we got back, Kimmy took Peyton and Isaac home with her and Eli and We had Jacob and Adam spend the night. Jacob made a campfire and we ate sandwiches.  Lucy took a bite of Jacob’s top piece of bread so I replaced it.  We made hot chocolate and played 3-13 and dice!  Vikki won both. Watched the boy's favorite comedian, Tim, and had lots of laughs.   What a great day with family!

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!
