7/1/23

Eli and Isaac were watching tv when we woke up.  We stopped for donuts and drinks on our way to Standish.  Mom made yummy potatoes and hot dogs for lunch.  Eli went on a long bike ride around the campground.  There was a golf cart parade.  A boy was driving one of them with a couple little boys and it broke down in front of our site.  The little boys were crying and the other boy seemed frustrated.  The battery was smoking.  Jared and Adam helped push them back to their site.  There was a craft sale going on and Mom got us some cute dishcloths that hang on the faucet.  We left around 3:00 to be home by 4:00.  Jacob's clarinet friends were coming over to borrow our shirt paint.  They are decorating shirts for band camp.  Nik's graduation party is today.  It's just down the road from us at his Grandpa's house.  The boys haven't seen Nik in 2 year so they were very happy to get to see him.  They hugged and talked for a couple hours until we had to leave.  Poor Nik chipped a tooth while we were standing there visiting.  We left around 7:30 to go back to the campground for tonights firework display.  We set up chairs by the pond.  Lucy stepped on a fishing line with a hook and it stuck in her pad.  I used pliers from the van to pull it out.  Ouch!  We wrapped her paw. The fireworks got delayed because of a storm.  There was lots of lightening.  Bruce left to take Max and his dog home.  We hung out in Nana and Papa's camper for awhile.  The fireworks started late but they were very good.  We took Melissa and her kids to meet Bruce in Freeland so he wouldn't have to drive so far.
