Enjoyable Sunday

We picked up Rhonda for church this morning as Spark went to the jail but they only held one service so Spark made it before the first service. Caleb Plattner had the morning service on Genesis 39. Click HERE if you would like to watch that. Tim Roecker had the afternoon message on Romans 12 and 13, Click HERE to listen to that. We left right after church as we needed to quick clean up the barn before the Co-op graduation and party for Tim Ricketts. The Airbnb guests left the barn very nice so it didn't take very long. The ribs were heated up in the oven for about a half an hour before putting them in 2 crock pots and loading those in the truck with the other food for supper at Middle Grove. We had a feast then Spark and Rhonda's group came over from their campsite and enjoyed the leftovers.

There was plenty for everyone.

After dinner Diane took us on a pontoon boat ride.

We caught up with the solar coaster which Dan was driving. They fell in behind us to enjoy our wake.

We passed the only other people on the lake not from our family. They had some of their grandchildren out on their deck fishing.

It was a peaceful quiet ride with beautiful scenery. We saw the cows but not the horses.

When we got back to the dock, Rhonda was waiting with the side by side to take us on a tour of the summer and winter pastures. Today we saw the 10 acre lake, the 5 acre lake and the 60 acre lake along with a herd of horses.

Nancy thought the ride was kind of scary but was happy she got to go and pet the horses.

We made it back to the campsite just in time for some delicious s'mores. Dan was playing the guitar and singing songs with and for Nancy. 

Diane was taking a turn to hold the youngest family member.

There were 8 of us siblings camping this weekend only missing Karin, Beth and John.

Joan, Berlica and Braelyn were out on the solar coaster fishing.

Spark had his family out on the pontoon boat for a sunset cruise.

Diane took Rita and Serena for a jeep ride.

Fedi made sure the camp fire was perfect for the group.

Rhoda had her children and Sarah's girls riding Cookie on Saturday and sent back the picture below.

This afternoon Anna sent the 2 pictures below. Taegan's volleyball team won the championship this afternoon.

 Kensley's softball team also won their championship this afternoon. 

There is a big group camping out at Middle Grove tonight but not us. We get to sleep in our OWN bed and I'm really looking forward to that in a few minutes. It really was an enjoyable Sunday.
