We had to move our camping trailer.  Campground security said it couldn't be parked on our site unless it was hooked to a fifth wheel or a camper.  So we hooked it on the back of Melissa's camper.

Fun with Uncle Bruce

Catching frogs with Max

Today I had a dentist appointment so I drove with Mom and she got laundry done while I was at the dentist.  Got to see Kenzie at Nana's and listened to her play her guitar.  The kids had a lot of fun today bike riding, swimming, fishing, and playing in their "secret hideout" in the woods.

Playing a game that Hailey made up

Jared left early for work.  It was chilly this morning.  Adam's sweatshirt was in the van so he used Nana's sweatshirt.  Mom and Dad came to our site and we drank coffee while waiting for all the boys to wake up. When they were all up we took a walk around the campground.  The kids had fun playing and riding bikes.  The older boys love to take the bike trail in the woods.  Then we went for a swim at the indoor pool.  The kids love playing with the light up sticks.  Mom, Melissa, and I took a bike ride around the campground.  Then we all went for a swim at the outside pool.  We hung out at Nana and Papa's site which is right by the beach.  The kids had fun playing at the beach.  Mom made burgers, hotdogs, baked potatoes, salad, and corn on the cob (from their garden) for dinner.  Yummy!  Jared picked up Norman and then came to the campground after work.  We sat by the fire and made smores.

Adam was feeling sick this morning.  He puked outside while we were cleaning up the livestock area.

After taking care of things at the fairgrounds we headed home for lunch.  Then we finished packing and headed to the campground.  We got to set up camp by Aunt Missy and her family!  The kids were all so excited to see each other.

After setting up camp we took a nice walk and then sat by the fire at my parents site.

Jared took a half day off work today and we went to the fair to help set up for the auction.  We washed the sheep and then the boys walked them for a while before putting them back in their stall.  Then we walked around the fair for awhile.  Around 3:00 we went to McDonalds for some ice cream cones.  It was such a hot day.  The boys changed into their dress clothes around 4:00.  Then they had to go hang out with their sheep until the auction started at 5:30.  Next year we will know to bring chairs and a fan.  Then we stood in line for the auction.  We were near the end of the line.  The boys did really good in the auction.  Jacob's sheep made $5/pound and Adam's made $5.25/pound.  State Representative Gary Glenn bought Jacob's sheep and Isabella bank bought Adam's.  We left the fair around 8:30 and headed to 7elevan for slurpies and picked up a pizza from Goodtimes.  Our neighbor brought us some corn on the cob and some egg carton's this evening.
