Are we there yet?

After almost 12 hours in the motor home we made it Word of Life Family Campground. There are 19 of my family members here this week. My mom (Kate), the girls and I, along with my sister Kristine and her 4 kids, sister-in-law Dawn and her 4 kids, my brother Ralph (he works for WOL), his wife Wendy and their 2 kids and my niece Micaela.
We are having a great time. We have 4 camp sites connected. The kids are enrolled in classes and we adults have meetings in the morning and evening.
If has rained every day but we are still enjoying ourselves. The temp. has been in the low 70's. Today is family fun day with inflatables, games and face painting this afternoon.
I do not have the ability to post pictures.
We sure do miss Steve. He, along with the other men are home working.

Fair Day!

Tuesday we took off and went to the Imlay City fair to watch three nieces show their sheep.
Larissa (17) won Reserve Champion Pen and Reserve Champion Market Lamb. Micaela (13) was in the show ring 10 time and placed 9 2nd's and 1 3rd. Autumn (7) was in the clover bud class. She went out to Larissa's and Micaela's often and helped them work with their sheep. She showed Micaela's for her showmanship class. It was a very long and hot day. When all the showing was complete we then went and hit some rides and took in a circus and other shows.
My nephew Drake and Amber hit the barn with my camera. That's why we have the raisin picture. There were other pictures he took of the sheep and it's anatomy but I thought I better not show them.
