 We took Rody home and then went home to get ready for church.  I had training for our new Sunday School curriculum with Brenda and Bill had to speak for FaithRiders at Trinity Baptist church.  Evan was so good for his first time in my class.  He raised his hand every time and spoke clearly when called on.   Was so proud of him. After church I met Bill and everyone at the Rustic inn.  I had a delicious grilled chicken sandwich and jumbo delicious fries.  Lots of food for $5.99.  Our table was really close to the table behind us.  I looked at the back of the guy and prayed they would finish eating quickly so I would be able to move.  Bill decided to get up and give some cards to them and the couple they were with for the moving of the Vietnam wall.  We were surprised to find out it was Pastor Weldon and Kathy right behind us.  We visited with them and were so happy to them.  Kathy kissed my cheek and told me she loved me when she left.  They were so sweet. They want us to do a motorcycle visit to their church.  We got back to the campsite around 2:30 and shortly after, Greg and Brooke came to visit.  She was a little shy for the first few minutes but then she started having so much fun with the kids.  He let Bill drive us in the golf cart.  We went to  see Nikki at their campsite and told her we tied him to a tree and got the cart but we were going to go back and get him.  She laughed.  The other two kids rode their bikes over and stayed at our campsite too.  Greg took all the kids to the store but it was closed so they came back right away.  He took them all to his campsite for a while too.  Peyton and Isaac were so happy.  They came back and stayed at our campsite till after 10.  We had so much fun visiting with them and getting to know the kids.  Played dice and cards.  Bill won in cards and I won dice

6/24/16....Kimmy and the boys came for the day! Greg Turner and his family are spending two weeks camping here



Jacob, Adam, (and Frankie) Eli
Isaac, And Peyton 

Jacob, Adam and Eli had fun in the inside pool with the glow diving sticks.  They worked really good in there because it was darker.  We had a hard time seeing them in the outside pool

Jacob spent a lot of time drawing on the etch a sketch

Isaac's new shirt matched his bike and helmet perfectly 

Out for an evening swim

We stayed up late last night so slept in til 9.  Got ready, ate breakfast and then went to a garage sale near the campground.  Didn't get anything.  Right after we got back,  Kimmy and the boys got there.  One of the workers on the golf cart told Kimmy she was going too fast.  Over 5 mph.  Kimmy is a rule follower and was going as slow as she could without stalling the car.  He was the same one who told me to slow down cuz I was  stirring up too much dust.  He is really nice though.  We sat and relaxed, then made chicken hobo dinners and then
Went swimming in the outdoor pool.  After Kimmy, the boys and I went to the indoor pool to try in glow diving sticks.  They were really bright there because it's darker in there.  They had so much fun with them.  We saw Nikki Turner and her kids there.  Went to the store and then for ice cream.  Vikki got free ice cream for the second day because she's her favorite customer.  Kimmy, Eli and I went for a walk around the campground and stopped to talk to Greg and his family.  Scott that we prayed with was visiting them.  Greg taught him about cement a few years ago.  Small world!  Vikki and Isaac ran to town so I took Peyton to the indoor pool to try the glow sticks.  We had fun.  Came back and Vikki had her suit on so we went back to the pool
And they swam and I went in the hot tub.
Went for a walk around the campground and then came back and played our games

Vikki's job was to handle the fire for cooking hobo dinners...there was only one log burning.  They weren't getting done so I moved them to the grill.  My fire was a little too hot so some were burned just a tad.  We needed Bill here to have it just right.

We had lots of fun playing dice with Jacob.  He won st 3-13!

Kenzie sent me these nice pictures taken on her trip to Ohio




                Kenzie and Trevor

These are pictures of the dog treats Bill got for Mocha


Got up at 5:30 and headed home to get ready and go to Melissa's house to get Evan.  We were supposed to go pick Hailey up because Max and Jack had an appt at 8.  Hailey was at the church helping get things ready for VBS.  I was on my way to her house and called her to have Evan's car seat ready and she told me the teacher had dropped her off so I didn't need to come.  Went toMcDonalds and got a Egg McMuffin.  Came home and Bill had me read over the funeral he was doing today. Hoed some of the garden and around the house.  Watered the lawn and some plants.  Got ready and met Aunt Vikki at Logan's.  We had a very nice visit and meal.  We both ate salmon, a baked sweet potato and salad.  I gave her the book Joshua Code and she gave me a memo pad, notes and initial charms that were P's.  We went to the Christian Family Book Store afterwards.  Went home and got refrig studs and Mocha and headed up north.  Bill said the funeral went good.  Got up to campground and Vikki and Twins, Kimmy and boys and Debbie and Matthew were there.  Visited and then went to pool.  Made hobo dinners and then took Debbie to the pavilion for ice cream but they had just closed.  We went to the store then and got ice cream there.  Matthew was sweet and went in the store himself and got taffy sticks for Peyton, Isaac and Jacob.  We came back and had smores.  Then Debbie and Matthew left.  Vikki led them to the expressway and I had Peyton and Isaac get ready for bed quickly.  Jacob read the Jesus Calling Bible to them while I got Vikki's bed set up. Bacon is an amazing reader.  I prayed with them and then they went to bed.  They were sleeping by the time Vikki got back.  Jacob spent the night so we played dice (Vikki won) and 3-13 (Jacob won).  Very fun time with Jacob and he was vèry helpful.
