Schools out -time to play. We took JD's family and Brooke and the kids on a river trip. We floated to blue heart, past Ritter Island (closed by covid) under HWY 30 bridge and finally to dock just before Owsley Bridge in Hagerman. Sounds idealic until you realizer it took all damn day. With so many kids. and so little help and I'm not referring to the kids here. By the time we went under the HWY bridge other boaters took notice. Babies crying, canoes essentially dead in the water. We must have look really pathetic. Finally one motorist took pity and offered to drag us to shore. They picked up the pontoon boat with brook, echo and I think 8 kids. Then me and Jade and our 2. Preston and JD were much closer to the dock so we didn't bother getting them. Not sure we would have made it without the tow in. Miracle for sure. Then Brooke had left the keys in her car at the other end of the river ride. We called Mike to come save us. We followed him to his new house and went fishing. He lives in a house whose property has a fish hatchery. Because he has known these people for a long time they let him fish the inlet streams as much as he wants. Fish get out of the hatchery's and stay right there. eating and growing and protected. they are nice big fish that you can literally catching with a net and a little patience. probably 30 fish in 15 min. That's the way to fish now. Ahhh Memories.
Darlin broke her arm on a trampoline visiting family in New Mexico. COV story; Timber drove and parked the truck. Ace had carried Darlin in. Then they would only let one parent in. Ace had to stay or Darlin would be alone. They wouldn't even let them switch. Timber almost got the cops called on her. She texted us in tears. We were all furious. Blessings happened. They were able to get patched up and back to Utah and into specialist in Salt Lake. She had rods put in from wrist to elbow.
Family party: McCarty came down and then her and I carpooled to Syringas. Timber was there for surgeries so we got to see everyone. I cannot even tell you all the fun we had. It was just about talking hanging out and getting mentally pumped up. Hair makeup sisters are the best. It was a little cold for the pool, but the kids did not care. Darlin wanted to play SOOO bad. She only jumped on the tramp with the little kids and was only in the pool when no one else was. If more got in she would just put her toes in or maybe to the knee. McCarty brought an activity for us. We did a Bob Ross painting. "Sea Breeze" Each picture showed the painters personality. Julie and Shayla came to join the fun for a hot dog roast. Denim wanted everyone to do a Tik Tok video. We did the same Tik Tok for the adults and kids.( Sitting on stairs youngest to oldest then move your head back and forth to the beat every other one.) For a devotional we face timed Mom and Dad. We sang "living in this world" to them then Dad told us a story about listening to the Holy Ghost:
One time he was fixing a cattle trailer and started to feel uneasy like he needed to move. He was new to the spirit and wasn't sure what it was so kept working a little faster trying to finish. Then he heard a voice. "Calvin you need to get out of there." He left to see who had called to him. As soon as he left the trailer, the 2nd floor fell right were he had been. His closing statement was powerful. "Its real"
