We got around early this morning because I wanted to run to Walmart to pick up a few things before the kids get here. We hurried to get what we needed. It was just beginning to spit rain as we returned to the truck.
Misti, Haleigh and Logan are coming to visit us this afternoon and staying the night in one of the cabins here at Treasure Lake. We managed to get one almost across the street from where we are parked. We've got plans for this evening and tomorrow!
It has continued to rain lightly since we returned from Walmart - around 8am. It was really nice and cool outside.
We decided on comfort food for lunch today, so I made meatloaf, baked potatoes and corn. It's been several months since we've had meatloaf and it sure tasted good....and there is enough leftovers for a meal later in the week.
While I was relaxing in the loveseat, the front door opened. I looked up and it was our grandson Logan! Yea, they are here! Misti and Haleigh were at the cabin and would be over soon. I jumped up and gave him a big hug. He is our first grandchild, he just turned 19, and is going into the Navy in October. Haleigh was actually our second grandchild - our little redhead.
Misti and Haleigh showed up a short time later and there were lots of hugs given! We are excited they are here. Our first event is this evening. We are going to Silver Dollar City as part of their moonlight madness event. Normally they close at 6pm, but they will be open until 10pm this evening. They are offering a reduced price of $30+taxes for their daily ticket if you arrive after 5pm. Misti and Haleigh have season passes. Logan went in as Misti's guest for $20, I went in as Haleigh's gift for $20 and Dean bought a reduced price ticket. This was a great bargain for us....cheaper than buying one normal day pass!
Misti and the kids rode the new ride "The Time Traveler". They really enjoyed it. I joined them on "Fire in the Hole", one of the few roller coasters I am still willing to ride. We had a good time. We stopped and ate a large container of kettle fried potato chips that is covered with melted cheese and bacon bits. They were delicious. We walked through the park looking at a few things, before ending up at Echo Hollow for the evening entertainment that we all enjoyed.

The show ended at 9:30 and we followed the crowd to the front of the park. We stopped to look at various products for sale before heading outside and walking back to our vehicles. Dean and I drove separately in case we wanted to leave early - but we had a great time and chose to stay until the end.
As we were leaving we noticed the moon was a beautiful deep red. I tried to take pictures while we were in the parking lot, but I could not get any good shots. Once we made it to the RV park, I rolled my window down and had Dean stop. I was also able to take another picture once we made it back to our site. Unfortunately, the redness does not show up in these pictures, but the brightness itself makes it beautiful
On the way back to Treasure Lake, Misti ordered some pizzas and a sandwich for Haleigh from Dominos. Dean didn't want anything to eat, so I went to the cabin with the kids. After pizza, Misti, Logan and I played gin rummy and "I won"! The last game I could hardly keep my eyes open....in fact someone laughed and when I opened my eyes, I realized I had fallen asleep while waiting for them to take their turns. Yep, it's time to go home!
It was a great evening with these three.
