Saturday, September 17 - Kids at Jellystone

Spent the day getting the kids from activity to activity. We were wore out, they were only a little tired.

Started the morning with "hay ride". One other family joined us just before we left.

Some sidewalk chalk art at the empty RV site next to ours.

With Yogi.

Then it was dipping for marbles. The "kiddie pool" had several inches of water in it and a bunch of marbles. You had to pick up the marble with your toes and move it to your bucket. The bucket was supposed to be 5 paces behind you. This young man was checking to see that Cathy, the lady with the name tag, was setting it up correctly. (She has a home in the area. In the winter she lives in her RV and works at a Jellystone Park in the south. This winter she is going to a Park in Mississippi.)

If you missed your bucket you had to chase down the marble.

You had 30 seconds to get as many marbles in your bucket as you could. Lydia did pretty good she got 7 marbles in her bucket. I don't remember how many Nolan got.

The they did some panning for gold.

And some racing.

There was only one high speed wreck during the racing. There were no serious injuries.

More water games. The bucket was supported by elastic bands. You put your water balloon in the bucket, pulled down on the bucket and fired it at the opposing team, who were firing at you. Nolan needed a box to stand on.

In addition to the above there were numerous trips to the pool. The water was so cold that after about 15 minutes Nolan was shaking. At first we had to say, "Nolan, are you cold and are you ready to go back to the RV?" He would agree. The last few trips he would just say he was ready to go back.

We had pizzas and cherry pies made over the campfire for supper.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
