"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in
its net of wonder forever."—Jacques Cousteau

July 15-19 Graham's Visit

"We share more than a name; we share a lifetime of memories." –Unknown 

Graham was the last of the grands to spend time on the boat. We started with a day at the house before we moved to the boat. It's been a very hot summer so being at the house gave us a little more comfort and options of things to do. Graham was going to mow for us before we went to the lake, but the heat kept that from happening. He did fit it in before we took him home. The grands like making money...who doesn't. 

It's a little harder to entertain an eleven year old than a toddler. Eating is a big part of what Graham likes to do. We hit DQ for lunch on our way to the lake, visited Cold Stone Creamery in Ithaca and had KFC on our way back to Lewisburg. They don't eat a lot of fast food in their family. We don't either, but sometimes it hits the spot. 

We spent one afternoon on the runabout playing in the water and staying cool. Driving the boat and tubing is a fun thing no matter what age you are. Hiking to waterfalls is another thing we like to do, but none of us wanted to put out that much effort in the heat.  

Fun on the water.
Wow what a difference six years make.
This boy goes crazy on the tube.
Graham's craft for his trip was making dueling weapons out of PVC pipe and swimming noodles. I didn't get a picture of them or of us playing with them.
You can see a few of what he made in this photo.
Cold Stone Creamery
He devoured this chicken. We had a bucket of eight pieces and he ate four...he loved it.
He ended his visit with us by doing a little work.
