Then we drove over to the animal area.

Peter played while the animals begged.

Next we went to Director's Point to feed the fish.

We drove through the campground area and the cabin area. That place is amazing. Next we drove to Middle Grove and took a tour. We used Spark's side by side, Mike's jeep that pulled the trailer Spark built and had 2 four wheelers so everyone could go.

We found the horses but Spark went one way and Mike the other so the horses were a little confused until Spark drove his over to the jeep.

Finally when they both came from the same directions the horses came to us.

To get back we had to go up a very steep hill and it had rained out there this morning. Some of us less brave ones got out of the vehicles and walked up the hill. The video below shows how fast they had to go to get up this hill.

We then took the boat rides. Mark and Becky went on the solar coaster with Mike and Diane.

While the rest of us fit on the pontoon boat.

Joan caught a bass when we slowed down.

Diane was bragging and showed us the bag of microwave popcorn they popped in their solar coaster microwave. We went from there to Mike and Diane's tiny house in the woods.

The house is off grid and has 2 bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. We all crowded in for a picture.

We didn't make it back to the barn until 5:00 pm. We were joined by more cousins, this time on the Meister side.

Below they are deciding who gets to have the prayer.

Mike was picked as whoever has the prayer get's to go first.

Mark told us about how dad taught the boys how to sing in a quartet. They were missing Bobby and Eddie (they had 6 guys but sang 4 part harmony). Below is one of the songs.
