Friday, 7/30/21, Last day at BayShore, Cooler but so nice, Packed stuff up, Bill dumped tanks, parked again, then hung out with Vikki, Hailey, Peyton, Isaac, Paul, Wes and Gayla

Isaac and Hailey.  We were laughing because usually kids eat the marshmallows first and then the cereal, but Hailey did the opposite 

Jessie, the Youth Dean at Camp, wrote on Facebook how these kids from the youth group did an amazing job leading worship all week. Spring Arbor couldn't make it this year so this was such a blessing for Hailey.  She is in the back with her arms up and Mia is on her left

Vikki, Paul and me in our matching BayShore shirts

We ate breakfast, then starting packing what needed to be put away.  Hailey is staying til tomorrow with Mia’s family, so she took what she needed and left what she wanted us to take home.  I packed her some cashew and M&M’s for a snack, a couple of bags of Dorito’s, and a lemonade bottle and water bottle.  We ate left over hamburgers for lunch.  She came and hung out with us several times, went and hung out with friends and practiced for worship.   Wes dumped his tanks, then parked back in his spot.  Bill was waiting for someone else to dump, and I told him I was going to check the parking lot to see if he could turn around there so he would be coming the right direction for the tanks.  He did, then I was still on the phone with him and he said hi pretty girl and said he could see me on the camera. He’s so cute!  He parked our camper back in our spot and we put the slide outs out.  We sat in the shade behind the camper on our chairs and relaxed, then Wes, Gayla, Bill and I played 3-13.  Bill won!  While we were playing he called me sweetie pie.  Then when I passed him coming out of the beech house bathrooms, he said hi good-looking.  I am wondering what he’s learning in his Bible class.  He sure couldn’t have been sweeter today.  He was so nice, I thanked him.  Paul and Vikki played a different card game.  Peyton and Isaac played with friends at the park.  Vikki, Paul, Bill and I all got matching shirts at the camp store.  Hailey came and ate cabbage buns with us for dinner, then we closed up the camper.  Wes, Gayla and I went to the Tent for the evening worship and message.  Bill waited for Bev and Ron to come and look over where we are going to have our Block party for CMA.  They were late, because they stopped in town to eat.  Bill called me when they got here, and I went and visited for a few minutes with them.  Then I went back to the tent.  I thought I was going to have to walk all the way back, but I saw the 8 passenger golf cart by the office, so I flagged them down.  They were so nice and took me right to the tent quickly.  Great worship and another great message!  We packed up our chairs, went to the bathroom and left.  Vikki was getting the kids and then she would be heading home.

Friday, 7/29/21, Went to Bible Studies, Vikki, Hailey and I ate lunch At The Lamplighter Restaurant, Marie and Roy came up

Was having lots of fun on the playground with his yummy cake she madfricend tonight.  We are all having fun as a family too.  The Bible teachers and Pastor Dave are doing an amazing job bringing God’s Word to us and encouraging us to be like Jesus.  Hailey, Vikki and I ate at the Lamplighter Restaurant for lunch.  Vikki and I had breakfast and Hailey had a burger and fries. We also picked up some groceries.  Vikki and I went to the last half hour of the adult swim.  We stayed in and swam with Bill, Peyton and Isaac.  Marie and Roy came to visit.  We were happy Wes and Gayla and them could meet each other.  We ate grilled hamburgers, potato salad, coleslaw Marie made and also delicious cake she madeThey came to the evening service with us and loved it. Vikki and I helped out in God Squad, Peyton and Isaac’s class. There was free ice cream again tonight.  It was great to see all the Kids say James 1:1-4.  It’s a long one and they all said it and did the motions so well.  Paul worked in their class too and hung out with us.  I got a BayShore shirt like Vikki’s.  We were all too tired to play 3-13.  Hailey came and had a snack and then went to spend the night in Mia’s tent.  Melissa called and the kids were watching a movie outside on our deck.  Jack talked to me and told me how much fun it was camping at our house. He was so cute!!!

Wes and I made pancakes and we all ate together outside.  Went to our classes afterward.  The classes are so good.  We rested during lunchtime because we were still full from the pancakes.  The neighbor girl delivered homemade donuts to us all too.  Hailey only had one pancake so she had turkey and cheese.  Then Hailey, Peyton, Isaac and I played tonk.  Paul came and wanted to learn to play tonk with us.  We played and then he wanted to play a game he knew.  Vikki, the kids and Paul played the new game and had fun.  We all swam after that. Peyton and Isaac played with friends.  Bill, Wes, Dave and Ron played the game Bulz I Bucket.  We went to the church service under the tent. Very moving as pastor Dave shared the rest of his testimony.  We were in tears again.  God rescued him from so much and touched his life in so many caring ways.  Hailey spent the night in the camper again because they announced we were supposed to get straight winds.  She and some other friends tried to encourage Mia and helped her.  These are amazing kids.  She came and we visited for a while, she had a snack, then we went to bed.

We ate and then went to our morning Bible studies.  Had delicious homemade cookies in between classes by the tabernacle.  Also had good coffee with yummy creamer.  We all ate lunch, then Gayla and I went to the adult swim and joined Jody’s aerobics group. We had fun and lots of laughs.  I stayed and swam with Vikki and the kids too.  I made goulash so it would just needed to be heated tonight. Paul Bennett came and spent time at our camper. He’s so sweet and sure reminds me of Kenny.  Jim and Bev came to visit and ate with us all at the picnic table.  We had potatoes, meatloaf and corn besides the goulash. Everyone loved the goulash.   Bev and Jim left and the rest of us went to the worship and service under the tent. Pastor Dave shared part of his testimony which his amazing and so moving we were in tears.  Hailey and the youth went to Impact after worship.  We invited Wes and Gayla to play cards.  We forgot and left the air on while at the church service, so Gayla brought a sweatshirt along.  When she got in our camper, she put the sweatshirt on and sat in the loveseat.  She felt a weird feeling on her shoulder, then realized something was moving.  She took the sweatshirt off quickly, threw it on the floor and 4 teeny baby mice fell on the floor, and the mama mouse went running under the couch.  I was busy so just saw when the mice fell out, but thought they fell out of the bottom of the loveseat when she opened it.  I was thinking boy they won’t want to come here again.  Then I found out about them being in her sweatshirt.  We sure did some screaming and laughing. Bill took the babies out and then we moved couches and looked for mommy mouse but didn’t find her. I had 1 mousetrap but had trouble settling it.  Well the mouse that our dear friends brought over to us made it through the night without getting caught in the trap.  Hailey hung out with her friends and then slept in our camper because her back was hurting.  We love having her.  Vikki, Hailey and I stayed up super late, ate snacks and had so much fun!
