Aunt Susan, Madeline, Emma, Aunt Susan’s friend Beth, and Madeline’s friend Caroline came today. We were going to the beach at Lake Harwinton (where we had the canoe on Sunday). Grandpa took the canoe and Jared and me in the truck. Then everyone else came in their cars.

We were the only ones at the beach and we had lots of trucks and digging things and buckets so we had fun in the sand. Jared dug a huge hole which everyon wanted to fill, first with water and then with sand. Grandpa gave everyone turns with him in the canoe. Emma said “My want Jonah”. I think Emma missed Jonah.

We had lunch with Madeline, Emma, Jared and John at Grandma’s house. Galen wanted to go for a tractor ride so Grandpa took us around the yard. Holly jumped off and ran beside the trailer.

Later, Grandma took Jared, John, Galen, and me to Linda’s pool. We had so much fun as we were having another hot sunny day! There’s a swing set at Linda’s which we like to play on too.

We all went to McDonalds for dinner. Aunt Cheryl met us there as John and Jared had to go home after dinner.
