We got up and drove to Merrill. Went through Terre Haute and thought that might have been a mistake but turned out okay. We stopped for lunch just north of Bloomington/Normal in El Paso. We made awesome time and got to Merrill 15 minutes ahead of Google’s estimate – and Read more…
We all slept in this morning, it was nice. I sat outside and watched fish and bugs jumping around in the pond while Lesa made everyone breakfast. After a lazy morning we all went to Pine Lake and swam at the beach, it is a very small beach but it Read more…
Up until 4am doing the meditation, didn’t fall asleep until an hour later, woke up when Lesa got up at 6a, then got woke up by kids at 7:30a. Gave the communion meditation, got a lot of positive feedback. Delivered communion to a home bound lady that made an impression Read more…
Sue made us blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Cassandra took Lesa to see their parents’ grave site, we’re going to buy a stone. Took kids to Walmart for birthday cards, Dwyane 6, Lesa 36. Took Cameron and Keaton to Council Grounds with us, hiked, swam on beach. Dwyane’s BD party.
Boys up early, rest of us slept late. Breakfast, chilled, lunch. Bierman Aquatic Family Center water park: slides, rock wall, diving boards, floating logs, splash pad, pool. Swam couple more hours at Darrell and Sue’s. Treated them and Sarah to dinner at Ballyhoos. Despicable Me.
Kids woke everyone! Journey Church, Ashley afraid, cried? Hiked River Bend Trail in Merrill, found 10 Merrill Rocks, kids enjoyed. Culver’s ice cream. Walmart for supplies, restocked Sue’s pantry. Kids swam. I took nap. Family dinner, Darrell grilled. Swam more. Paddington movie.
Left for Wisconsin early, thunderstorms and lunch in Illinois, rained off and on until Stevens Point, road construction entire way but we made good time, kids did good traveling but got bored last couple of hours. Merrill, family! Kids rode riding cars/bikes, swam. Rough bedtime.
