I woke up much too early ... actually it was my regular time of 5 am. I decided to stay up, and hang out with any brave awake person. That would be Becky who got up with number 3 child. Tho' we didn't talk much, just made coffee, straightened up the surroundings and in a while Matt made a fire to take the chill out of the air. As people woke up they had leftovers and straightened the area. Missy had said I should get golf balls and throw them in the pond for Grand retrieval. So I did. Nickles for balls, Quarters for those who chose to run off the dock and make a splash in their lives. Everyone was packed up and ready to head home around one. Some a little before, some after. Phillip left the suit we brought and so we are taking it back to IG to meet up later.
