7/3/10: 8am – rise & shine! What a wonderful, bright morning in Ohio. We continued the great conversation over cinnamon buns outside in the sun. Grace, Caroline and Clark spent what seemed like hours out on the pond trying to catch frogs. They all also enjoyed the golf cart. They road ‘round and ‘round the property. Mason went with them sometimes, and Tiger the cat ran out to enjoy the ride, too.Reed came home and we got to spend some time with him. Reed is the sweetest boy, hugging and kissing everyone. It seemed that there was nothing he liked more than riding on the golf cart with the kids, so again they rode ‘round and ‘round.
Lisa and Alan grilled a great lunch and we all ate on the humongous screened in porch. We got caught up on the boys’ athletic prowess and Lisa’s teaching. It was hard to leave, as we were all so relaxed but we had already stayed 3 hours later then we had planned! So, off to Michigan we went.
It was only about an hour drive to Round Lake. The perfect house on the lake is so chock full of people it’s almost comical. “Russell Road,” as it’s called, is currently holding Ruth’s grandparents, her parents, Paul & Sarah, her family, Mike & the kids, Julia, Grace and Kennedy, Ruth’s sister, Blythe, her husband, Tyler, and their daughter, India. Ruth’s brother, Clay, is here with his wife, Brie and son Oscer, then there’s us! Oh, and 5 dogs: Loki & Sapho (huskies), Ivan & Lilly, (pugs) and Phil (foxy yorkie). The Rush Clan has a great tent set up in the front yard.
We did some tubing with the pontoon boat (they’re faster than I thought!), paddle boated and kayaaked. We then had amazing grilled fillet mignon and sweet corn before starting the campfire and making s’mores. We shot off a few preliminary fireworks and bedded down for the night in our cool tent.
