Friday found us trying to make the decision whether or not to go to the "Lake House" on Saturday or Sunday. Finally the choice was Saturday so we set things in motion to "git it done". Ally and I went grocery shopping, filled the refrigerator in the "MH" with all the food we needed for the weekend adventure and went from there. Clothes, toys, etc had to be packed. It took the "MH" , her van, our tow car and we finally got it all together and off we went with Ally and her three kids in the "MH" to the Lake. When we arrived everyone was boating so first things first we got the kids ready for the water. They went tubing behind John and Jodi Leepers ski boat, rode on the pontoon boat, played, played somemore. Doug & Ally went to the "race party" at his cousins house for a while and returned around 10pm and then it was f bedtime.Ally, Kate and Bella slept in the "MH" with us and Doug & Noah were in the bunkhouse.The Lake House belongs to Ally's neighbors, Mark and Debbie Leeper(Nana and Papa Mark to our grandkids) and they invite whomever from the neighborhood to come out. The house has 4 bedrooms and a bunkhouse that sleeps lots of people. I think at one time we had about 30 people total.
Sunday Ally and Doug took Noah 7years old) to the Indy 500 for the first time and we kept the girls with us. Doug has been going to the race for many years. With the help of everyone Larry, Kate, Bella and I enjoyed a day on the lake in the boats. All the people who went to the race got back around 7 pm and of course the kids wanted to go swimming and tubing again so off they went. They came back around 9pm and of course the kids were hungry AGAIN.Seems we did a lot of "feeding people" this weekend. Parents started getting kids ready for bed and I HIT A BRICK WALL. It was time for me to go to the motorhome to bed. Between the fresh air and sun I was "Done IN".
Monday the weather started out a bit wet but cleared and they got to go out in the boat again. We left the lake house around 3pm, stopped along the way to let Noahs friend Christan in the motorhome so they could ride together and arrived back at Ally and Doug's house with everyone tired and hungry. Pizza was on order and then bed. Tuesday I took Noah shopping for some clothes and then in the afternoon both of the girls started running a fever. Noah wanted to sleep in the "MH" so we had him for the night. Wednesday finds us on the road back to Virginia and stopped in Cross Lanes, W. Va. for the night.
