Thursday, 8/3/23, Went to class, visited Melissa, went for ice cream at Red Barn, took motorcycle ride, Bad storm at campground, went to service, ic cream after, called Jacob

 

We got up and got ready for class.  Kenzie went with us.  It was another great class.  We had our cookies and coffee break, then instead of going to the next class, we went to visit Melissa, Max and Bruce.  Melissa and Abby came with Vikki, Kenzie and I to go see Liz.  She works in the office here and has for a long time.  She was happy to see Kenzie.  We went back to Melissa’s camper.  Bill was still there.  A nice older guy who has been giving people golf cart rides all week took us back to Melissa’s camper and then to to our camper. Bill walked, but we girls had just got lots of exercise.

We went to the Red Barn for ice cream and Bill, Vikki and Kenzie hung a couple of Street Party Signs for when we have our State Rally.  Brad and Jen met us and had ice cream too.  Wes called and wanted us to come ride to Akron.  We took Vikki and the kids home and they went swimming while we three couples rode our motorcycles.  

When we got home we made potatoes on the grill and chicken strips on the grill.  I had Bill call Bruce to see if he and the boys wanted to eat with us. Right after that a bad storm moved in, so we just ate in our camper and Bruce and the boys ate in third.  The twins went to the Family Center and so did Bruce’s boys.  Bruce was at his camper and we were at ours when it started raining really hard and the wind was blowing over 50 mph.  The neighbors tents started blowing and their canopy flew towards our motorcycle. A little tree stopped it from hitting it.  Lots of branches down all over and some broken canopies.  Our clam top blew and a couple swimsuits blew off the line.  No damage to the camper, praise God.  

Bill, Kenzie and Vikki went around and took pictures.  We went to the tabernacle for the evening service.  Got a golf cart ride there too.  Free ice cream after service again. Yum.  I called Jacob and made sure he was ok.  He can’t come here tomorrow now, because Mr. Shepherd wants him to help him with something.  We had a nice talk and said i love you to each other.  Such a nice responsible young man.

Wed., 8/2/23, rained for 10 minutes during our class, nice day after that, love family camp

Went to our class! Brian Pruitt did an amazing job teaching and was so fun too. We did a cookie and coffee break after class and then went to our next class in the tabernacle with Pastor Combs. It was on Hebrews. We got in a group with Bill, Vikki, Marsha and I. We came back to the camper and had lunch. I took a nap afterwards and was going to get up in an hour to go tie dye shirts. Vikki signed me up but I didn’t really want to do it. She didn’t wake me up, so I ended up sleeping a few hours. Melissa and Max got here and came to visit us so Bill woke me up. I was so happy to see them. Bill went to pick up pizza for us. He tried to see if he could pay for Bruce’s pizza too, but it wasn’t ordered yet.We had a nice visit and Max was so fun to talk to. He was so nice letting Paul pet Vader and telling him Vader really likes him. We went to the evening service and Melissa came and sat with us too. When we got back Melissa brought Abby and came to visit. Kenzie came to spend the night shortly after. Bruce came to tell her hi and stayed a while. Vikki made us all toast out of the delicious bread that Kenzie made. We visited lots and then went to bed! Called Jacob and talked to him for a while.  I always like to know he’s home safe and sound. He’s always so sweet on the phone. We all talk to him.

Made pancakes for breakfast.  Isaac had requested them yesterday.  The kids went to Impact and Vikki and I went to Brian Pruitt’s morning class. It is so good!  Bill is home cutting the grass and taking Max to an appointment, then coming back.   We had our cookie and coffee break under the tent, then went in to the Tabernacle for our next class taught by Jayson Comb.  We had to get in a group afterward so we joined a lady whose name was Marsha.  She was so nice.  We prayed for our churches together, then shared what we had been asked to.  Then we just talked and got to know each other.

We came back and had lunch, relaxed in our hammocks, went swimming, showered and then went to the store.  We listened to the boys talk about the ping pong tournament excitedly.  Visited a while with Joel and Vikki got to see Wes and Gayla’s new motorhome.  Prayed over Ronnie for his back and legs to be healed .  Came back to our camper and had dinner and went to the evening service.  Bill came shortly after it started.  Had ice cream after and then Wes and Gayla came over to play 3-13.  Bill was the winner.
