On the road again (finally)!!

While we have been spending most of the summer here in FL, we were very happy make a trip to Illinois recently. Our very good friends stay at a campground there and we were looking forward to a nice visit with and them. We always enjoy our friends and Leisure Lake Resort. Tim did a lot of fishing and caught a small bass and lots of Bluegills, we did a lot of eating (Maciano's and Portillo's YUM!), Kelsey enjoyed the Pet Lovers weekend they were having and participated with Sasha & Kasey. We acquired a new vehicle to our fleet, a 1990 Club Car golf cart. It definitely needs some work, but it runs and will be helpful around our home and be good to have at campgrounds. We are looking forward to the fall when our friends come south to visit is here in FL.

A day of service

At our local Tractor Supply Co. the kids and their 4-H friends recently participated in a pet-friendly event where they attended a watering station for dogs at a pet event. It was a fund raising opportunity for our 4-H club and a community service event for the kids. The local Humane Society was their as well and the kids really enjoyed playing with all the dogs.

4-H Day Camp

The kids are involved in a club that involves shooting sports and fishing. We recently had a 3-day-long camp for kids interested in these sports. It was a really hot week, but we had a lot of fun. The kids did archery, air rifle, fishing, and had visits from several guests with animals. They got to pet a really large alligator and hold an enormous python. They enjoyed their 4-H friends and all the activities.
