Nana and Papa's new ride

We pulled the lilac bush that was by the barn 

The boys ate donuts and watched Garfield this morning.  They had fun playing with legos, playing outside and swimming in the pool.  Bruce came to pick up the boys after work.

Went to Vikki's house today and then went to the hospital to visit Melissa.  Melissa's boys came home with us to spend the night.  We stopped for slurpies on the way home.  The boys had fun in the pool after dinner.  Jack and Eli slept on cots in the office.  Evan slept in Eli's bed and Max slept on a cot next to Jacob.

Travis and Kenzie 

Visiting Aunt Missy at the hospital

Around 9:30 we headed to Nana and Papa's house.  We visited for a little while and got to see how their bathroom remodel is looking.  After a little while we left and headed to Vikki's house.  Wyatt was really excited and barking at Lenny.  Lucy had to be crated because she was spayed recently.  Kenzie and Travis also came over.  After lunch we headed to the hospital to spend some time with Melissa.  Melissa was about to go down to therapy so I went with her and Eli and Kodi came too.  After therapy we went back up to her room but the rest of our group had gone down to the cafeteria.  We hung out in the cafeteria for awhile and then went outside.  On our way home we stopped at McDonalds for shakes and chicken nuggets.  We had to leave right when we got home to be at the fairgrounds for 4H barn set up.  Back at home Jacob and I played a game of 3-13

This morning the boys helped me get their 4H sheep rough shorn today.  Nik came over for a couple hours. At the end of this month Nik is going to be moving to TX.  We are really going to miss him.  The boys played with legos and then played in the pool.  We worked on bathing the sheep and then when Jared got home we slick sheared them.

Day 16

 We enjoyed listening to the wind before getting out of bed this morning.  We made coffee last night and it stayed warm in the thermos. Adam woke up with us around 6:30. We took a last walk around the campground.  When it was time to start packing the tent we woke up Jacob and Eli. The boys were a huge help as we got things packed up quickly. Grandma came to get the boys when pancakes were ready.  Jared and I ate after we finished packing and the trailer was hooked up. We were on the road shortly after 9:00. We stopped at the Marquette Walmart to get food for lunch. We got home around 6:30. The boys got the van unloaded and I worked on unpacking in the house and started a load of laundry.  We noticed balloons in the air and Jared said the balloon festival was moved and is joining the river days.  Nana and Papa met us at the fairgrounds but the balloons weren't there. This year it was by the tridge and there were so many people.   We didn't stay for the fireworks but decided to go to McDonalds for ice cream.
