This evening we went to the jr high so Jacob could pick up his class schedule.  We walked around to find his classes and he practiced opening his locker.

13 years ago I married this great man!  He stayed home today so we could spend the day together.  We picked our garden tomatoes and canned ketsup.  This evening we got Pi's for dinner and watched a movie.

This case was thrown in on bidding at the auction.  The boys like playing with it.

This morning we headed to the amish auction.  While we looked at all the items for sale the boys played in the sheds.  We gave them each a couple dollars to spend at the concession stand.

Homemade ice cream!

Eli wanted a donut instead of ice cream

Visited this amish store.  Adam picked out an egg basket for collecting eggs. 

The boys liked petting the horses.

We won the bid on a great chicken feeder.  It holds so much food!  We also won a couple aluminum shovels and a nice water bucket.  They weren't getting many bids on those so they threw in a bunch of other things.  So we came home with a bunch of old gas and oil cans and some other things.

Pizza for dinner from the pavilion 

The boys found a turtle

We started packing after dinner.  It was dark when we finished so we checked our site with flashlights.  Such a fun time camping with family!

Playing games

Mom and Isaac came to our campsite this morning.  We had our coffee and went on a morning walk.   My Mom's camper shade broke so I worked on restringing that for her this morning.  There were some loud howling dogs in the campsite next to ours.  They howled while we ate our lunch.  The dog's owners ended up listening after being talked to several times by security for loud arguing and loud dogs.  Melissa and Bruce had to leave and put a video on in their camper for the kids.  Hailey, Mom and I played dice.  We went swimming in the pool and then at the beach.  We made pizza's for dinner when Jared got here.  The older boys took a bike ride around the campground.  We took Eli and Evan putt putt golfing.  Then we took a walk around the campground.  We sat around the fire at Nana and Papa's site. Evan sat on my lap and love me drawing on his back.
