Jacob woke up after Jared left for work. He came in our bed but never did fall asleep. When we got up we went outside to feed the animals. Jacob grabbed a handful of chicken food and knelt down to feed them out of his hand. One pecked him hard but he just laughed and went for another handful of food. Adam sure loves to play "train". Jacob or I usually lead the train and Adam quickly runs to join us. He also loves ring around the rosie. Jacob turned the big horse on its side and we leaned up against the couch to pretend he was driving us in his car. Adam quickly came to sit next to us. Jacob wrapped his arm around Adam and said, "dis my friend". I finished packing the boys bags and loaded them into the van. I started knitting a dishcloth. My knitted dishclothes have been used a lot and I needed some new ones. I got some nice colors of yarn and I'll be knitting with them on our trip north. Jared picked Kenzie up from Nana's after he got out of work. She is staying with us until Friday. I cut up and washed the beans picked from our garden. Jared went outside with Kenzie and the boys. Kenzie was happy to see the ckickens again. She loves to catch Butch (the rooster). He is sleeping in his new area tonight for the first time. Kenzie was loving the banana chips so I gave her a sandwich bag full of them. She ate the whole bag. It takes a lot of bananas to make one of them little bags. After dinner we took the kids to play at the wood park. The kids had so much fun. Daddy, Jacob, and Kenzie took off to play on the train. Adam went right for the firetruck. We sat in that as he played with the steering wheel. Then he took me over to the swingset. First he walked up to the blue swing but for some reason he changes his mind and quickly walked over to the black swing. I pushed him in that until he asked to get down so he could check out the rest of the place. Its such a large place and I don't think Adam ever stopped moving except to hug the wooden animals. I saw Jacob running around and could tell he was having just as much fun. Once when we crossed paths he said to me, "I was wondering where you was". Adam took Daddy over to show him the wooden cat and I took Jacob and Kenzie over to play in the sand. When it was time to leave we played follow the leader (Daddy leading) back to the car. It was shortly after 8pm when we left. We stopped at Tim Hortons for donuts and I got a cappucinno. Before bed Kenzie read Jacob his bedtime books.

Camp kitchen is packed, suitcase is almost full, enough food to get us going is in the container, library books are in the bag, money is in the billfold, mail and paper are stopped. Two more days to think of last minute things. I'm ready.

Marty III is no more. We found his remains out behind the goats paddock:( This guy belongs to Kenzie.
