We got off to a little bit slower of a start on Tuesday than we wanted to, and it was 10am by the time we rolled out of the Sunnybrook RV Resort. That got us to Duncan RV Repair around 11:30am (I wanted to be there by 10!! Oh well . . . ). We checked in, itemized the items we needed looked at, and were ready to meet with the Technician to go over everything . . . just as he left for lunch! LOL Our timing was just great! Oh, well, that gave us time to get parked in a spot, un-hitch the truck, and moved our stuff that was going home from the RV to the truck bed. It was threatening rain, but everything (with the exception of Casey in her crate) fit under the tonneau cover. Hopefully the rain would hold off, and she wouldn't get too wet!Ron returned from lunch just as we finished up, and we went through our list with him. We were out of there around 1:45. Now, the boys were supposed to have their last golf lesson at 5pm, but it was raining at home and we would have to really push it to make it there on time. So, we decided to call and re-schedule their lesson, and we had a leisurely lunch-dinner in Shipshewana at the Blue Gate Restaurant. YUM!We got home around 7pm, still stuffed from our lunch/dinner, and got the truck unloaded. I started laundry while the boys took care of some homework, and we all tried to get to bed early. We were still very tired on Wednesday, as we got back into the routine of work and school . . . and I'm not sure where the rest of the week went!
Today we started the day with the reward of our labors yesterdayblueberry pancakes!They were delicious, and we were all stuffed and ready for the day! Most of the campground, including our friends, were packing up and getting ready to go home. Public schools in Michigan start school tomorrow, so everybody with kids needed to get home. Since ours have already been in school for 2 weeks, we didn't feel too bad about having them miss a day. We're staying the extra night so we can drop the RV back off at Duncan RV Repair in Elkhart to finish up the warranty items we've found.
We were on our own today, so we headed into South Haven to the beach!
It was a beautiful day, and lots of people were enjoying one last day at the beach! Tom and Bryce were trying to dig to China - but they didn't get too far before they gave up and went for a swim! LOL
After a few hours in the sun, we packed up and headed back to the campground. Bryce wanted to swim in the "warm" water of the pool, so we went there for awhile, and then took showers in the bath house before returning to the RV for dinner of BBQ chicken and rice pilaf. We went ffor a walk after dinner, and stopped to check out the other X-Aire. It's a nice one, too, and Tom learned a few things to check out on ours. We had a little bit of wood left, so the boys got a fire started and we joined them to make pies and roast marshmallows before calling it an early night.
We're headed out early tomorrow, so we can get the RV dropped off and get home in time for the boys' last golf lesson at 5pm. It'll be a quick day!!
Saturday was a pretty relaxing day for us. Tom and the boys went fishing in the catch-and-release pond in the campground, while I caught up on reading blogs and posting on ours. When I finished, Casey and I joined them at the pond. Bryce was having great luck, while Nicolas was struggling a bit, but they were both having fun.Then, Nicolas started catching a few also, and things got even better. Bryce ended up with a count of 20 fish caught (not sure how many were repeats -- LOL), and Nicolas snagged 8!
When they ran out of worms, and Casey tired of trying to catch the little fishies herself, we headed back to the camper for lunch, and then to the pool for the afternoon. After a few hours at the pool, we had burgers and corn for dinner followed by samores at the fire . . . and an ealier night!
On Sunday, we went to 9:30 mass at St. Basil in South Haven, and then stopped off at Speedway to fill up the truck for the ride home, and at Wally World to pick up some milk, bread and cereal. Back at the campground, we headed to the pool with our friends where Tom and the boys, along with a half dozen other men and boys, enjoyed a rowdy game of "keep-away" with a little water ball -- it kept them entertained for over 2 hours, and surprisingly didn't bother any of the other swimmers! Later in the afternoon, we all decided to go pick blueberries at a local farm.
The boys love blueberries and had a blast picking them -- and eating them! The four of us picked a total of 9 lbs. of blueberries -- I guess I'll be freezing a few when we get home! We couldn't compare to our friends though -- with each of their families picking almost 16 lbs. each!After blueberry picking, we stopped at a local dairy down the road to have ice cream cones -- the line when we arrived was unbelievable!
Once we had our cones, we could understand why the line was so long -- YUM!!
That pretty much filled us up for the day, so we opted not to cook dinner, and instead had pizza pies and hot dogs on the fire. We stayed out at the fire for awhile, but not too late. Bryce got marshmallow in his hair, so he and I left to go back to our camper and wash it out -- LOL.
