Day 5: Saturday

No one slept very late this morning!! The little ones were up and full of energy and ready to look around this new place…..to them! And…..after a breakfast of mixed “want for breakfasts”…….we decided to take the girls to the playground. They played for about a half hour on the equipment there……a really nice playground!!!

Then we decided to take a walk around the campground……and took about an hour ambling through the various cg circles, which are ALL FULL!!!! No camping vacancies at all!!

Back at TheHowserHouse, we all had a bite or two of lunch….and then we had a phone call from the 1st Lady’s sister and said they were in their boat and would be at the Marina next to our cg in about 15 minutes. So….we scurried around and I took Dr. Jeni, Rachel and Meghan down to the Marina and by the time we arrived they already had their boat tied up and were getting some food to eat.

I watched them all pull away for a bit of boating on the Lake….and I returned to the RV to join the 1st Lady who remained behind to stay with Ava while she took her afternoon nap. I did some reading….and just enjoying the relative quiet here.

Then the phone rang and her sister called to say that Rachel was sick, had thrown up from the boat, and I should meet them at the Marina. Soooooo, back over there I went and waited for almost 30 minutes before they pulled up to the dock…..seems they had become a bit “lost” as they tried to locate the cove where the Marina is located.

I took Rachel back to TheHowserHouse, and once again, she was ill. We soon had her laying down on the bed.……and just gave her some quiet time to herself. It wasn’t long until the thunder and rains began……..and so I put a DVD into the system and the girls did well as they ate some supper while watching a couple of movies. Rachel continued to just lay around…..alternating between feeling “a bit better” and not feeling good at all.

Dr Jeni left earlier to run down to Montgomery City to pick up Darrel…..he was to drive in a race tonight, but it was rained out. Soooooo, they will be back here later this evening.

The 1st Lady and I took care of all three little ones……..and at one time it became a bit hectic as there seemed to be a minor problem with each one, just as there was a phone call on each of our phones!!!! Doesn’t that always happen??????? But…..everyone survived their “emergency” without a hitch!!!

After getting the girls bedded down….on the floor of the den…..and after they were asleep, we finally turned out the lights and they were “gone” for the rest of the night. Dr. Jeni and Darrel didn’t return until about 1am……but never did hear them arrive. And…..as it always is….

Life is Great....and I hope it is for all of you, also!!
