We all were up by 7am. Grandma was the last one up today. After breakfast we took a walk around the campground. Adam and Eli rode their scooters and Jacob rode his bike. We found some firewood and carried it back to our site. Grandpa found a long piece of wood and we used the hatchet to get several smaller pieces from it. At around 11:00 we headed to Great Sand bay. The boys has so much fun swimming, playing in the stream, and climbing on the big sandhill. Norman seemed to never get tired of fetching sticks in the water. It was 66 degrees when we got there and was 68 when we left. Eli got cold and wanted to change out of his wet clothes. We packed a lunch and ate it on the beach.  After a few hours at the beach we headed to the Jampot. They've remodeled there and it looks really nice. We hiked up to Jacob's falls and ate our goodies there.  On our way back to camp we drove up Brockway Mt. The boys hike the little path up there. We talked to Megan and she says the animals are doing good.  A large tree branch broke and fell on the fence by the chicken coop.  It isn't pushing on the fence so it's ok.  We got to call and talk to Nana too. The boys played while Jared rested in the hammock and I rested in the tent. After dinner we sat by the fire and did some knitting. Then we took a walk with Grandma around the campground.  Jacob went down to the dock to do some fishing and Adam went with him. After a while Eli and I went to the dock.  Jacob had a couple fish on his line but they got away. A boy there caught a 17 inch sucker fish. Around 9:30 we headed back to camp to sit by the fire.  The older boys are really enjoying Huckleberry Finn.  Eli is usually asleep quickly.
