Today’s highlights: Hanging out with friends. Horseback riding. More game playing.
We had a nice breakfast in the campground. Since the only open spots for the horseback riding were at 2:30, we decided to change our plans and stay another night camping. We had to pack up to change campgrounds, though. We went to the lake, where the girls swam and played in the sand for a couple hours. We had sandwiches at the cars for lunch, then Rob took the four girls off for a horseback ride. We all gathered at the new campground, and the girls worked on making ice cream with the rolling ball. Chloe took a little nap, then joined us for dinner. The sky turned dark and we had a real rainstorm. Everyone crowded in the camper, except for me. I took a nap while they all played games together until bedtime.
