Last Full Day at Hershey Preserve!

Ken and I were up so early so we could leave by 7:10 to go to the Triathlon in Mt. Gretna and watch our son-in-law compete!  I was a rather cool and dreary morning, but near 60 degrees, okay for a sporting event!  It was nice to spend time with our daughter, Bria, Cali, and Dane's parents.  It was a great event for Dane.  He finished in 1 hour and 17 minutes and was 2nd in his age group.  Way to go!!!!!

Dane just getting out of the water after swim in the lake!

After completing the bike ride, he began the run!

Heading to the finish line!

Crossing the line!

The happy couple - she is relieved and proud!


We returned to the CG around 10:45.  Some of the group went for a bike ride but Martins and us decided to play pickle ball.  So we went up to the courts and 4 men were playing including Travis and Wade, our 2 instructors from the 1st time we ever played.  When they were finished, they gave us more coaching and helped Martins, since it was their 1st time playing.  We really enjoy the game!

This is a pickle ball court - a small version of a tennis court!

One of our instructors - Wade!

Martins, Ken and I following our pickle ball match!


Back to Willie for a light lunch and a game of cards.  When everyone returned, we had a small Happy Hour and then played an electronic type game of Pictionary, which the women won!

Then it was time for the campfire and we all decided to have hot dogs and baked beans.  Following clean-up, it was time for a surprise for Sam.  Kathy had brought a cake, some decorations, party favors, and ice cream to celebrate his 70th Birthday that is actually next Sat.  But we wanted to celebrate while we were all together.  A fun time was had by all.  We decided to call it a night around 9:15 - there was a slight mist falling and we were all tired.  Not ready to leave this CG and our friends, but we head out tomorrow morning!

Sam likes fly swatters, so it was the perfect gift from Fred
and Doloris!

Cake cutting time!!!
Happy 70th, Sam!!!!!!!
