Vikki came to the farm today with Rody's cousin's.  They got to walk Della and Fyrne and played with chickens.  Jared and I made fire starters this evening.  Later we took a drive in the the new car so I could get more practice with shifting.  I've been practicing in the evenings and its getting easier.  We sure see a lot of deer.  

The boys made a huge blanket pile on top of Adam.

I sealed the wood on our camp kitchen.

Got to hang out at Vikki's house today.  Had a lot of fun!

The boys stayed with Aunt Bippi while I took Eli to the dentist.  Adam gets really nervous to leave me lately.  Aunt Bippi gave him her iPad so he could text me and we could send pictures.

Eli's appointment was for a cavity so he was really nervous.  He wouldn't let them work on him unless I came in the room.  He did really good so they let him pick out a stuffed animals.

I spent most of the day cleaning camping stuff, working on laundry, and getting things ready for our Copper Harbor trip.  This evening we drove to town to pick up our new car.  We bought a 1999 Honda Civic from Jared's co-worker, Darren.  The boys loved seeing Darren's lego computer that he built.  I followed Jared to a church parking lot so I could work on learning to drive a manual transmission.  I've learned before but had a hard time starting from a hill.  The parking lot had some hills so I got lots of practice.

 Jacob spent the night in the camper with Nana.  He stayed up late and they played Uno and dice. At bedtime the boys love to hear Daddy's stories of his favorite stuffed animals.  They also love hearing old Truman stories.  It rained a lot during the night. This morning we went for a bike ride and a swim. It rained again this afternoon.  We had lunch in the camper with Nana.  Adam and I played some games of Uno and Jacob and Nana played tonk.  Later this afternoon we started packing.  Thanks Mom for helping me pack.  Jacob worked on packing the car but we had to re-arrange it some to fit everything. Dad and Mom helped me take down our tent and dining fly.  We didn't use the car top carrier so it was a tight fit for everything.  Adam's chain had broke so Jared brought Eli's bike (for when he's older) and Adam used that until his bike was fixed.  We ended up with 6 bikes here.  Dad is taking one home for us.  It rained on our drive home.  At home the boys helped us unpack the van.  Jared and I set up the tent and dining fly so they could dry.  This evening we watched a movie and had popcorn, pop, and ice cream.
