A Boat Ride

One of the things that the people did was to ride around the lake in our boat.

Rick was the captain of the boat.

Terry and his wife road along.

My son John and grandson Drew also went along for the ride.

Friday Evening Dinner

On Friday the four of us decided to go out for dinner.  We first tried Mel's in Spicer but it was closed.  So, on to Willmar to a Greek restaurant.

Drew wanted to go canoeing with his grandpa.  Here they are putting the canoe into the water with the help of John.

The three are getting set to carry the canoe down to the dock.

Drew and His Grandpa

What a weekend I've had.  First of all, John and his son, Drew, flew here from Salt Lake City to be with me for the weekend.  While Drew and I get along just fine, he likes his grandpa.  The two were inseparable for the weekend.  Here are a few pictures of the two.

Drew uses his iPod Touch while Dick is doing some church work using his iPad.
