It was their old pool but it still looked like it was in good shape.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>There are a number of cabins, all with Indian tribe names . . . . Ponca, Cheyenne, Omaha, Otoe. They were unlocked so we went inside the MaryLee Cabin, I know that\u2019s not the name of an Indian tribe, not sure why. It was very basic inside, just metal bunk beds for about 21 people.\u00a0 Very basic, just a place to sleep. There was a playground, horse shoe pits, volleyball court and the new swimming pool that will be finished soon. Then we made our way to another large building that Ken said is where they do awards ceremonies and presentations.\u00a0 We went inside there to check it out.\u00a0 It had a stage at the far end, a couple of rows of long pews and an old piano.\u00a0 Emma liked playing the piano.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/steele.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170611_150342.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-661\" src=\"http:\/\/steele.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170611_150342-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/steele.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170611_150342-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/steele.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170611_150342-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/steele.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170611_150342-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/steele.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170611_150342-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/steele.farm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/20170611_150342.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_2771178615446057147MsoNoSpacing\"><u><\/u>\u00a0By the time we got done with the tour it was time to go back and eat.\u00a0 The dining hall is a nice large open area with a kitchen and a commercial refrigerator.\u00a0 The counter is very long but extra tables still had to be setup of for all the food that everyone brings.\u00a0<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_2771178615446057147MsoNoSpacing\"><u><\/u>\u00a0Emma was very hungry.\u00a0 Kalie fixed a plate and she and Emma sat down to eat.\u00a0 Then when Aaron, Ken and I got our plates and sat down, she made the rounds to each of us to see what we might have that she would like to eat.

But Carolyn was telling me that when Emma did make it around to Don\u2019s side of the table, Emma gave him a look that said \u2018don\u2019t even think about it\u2019, which got a big laugh from the whole table.
