Memorial day on the Colorado River

Memorial Day we loaded up the canoe and camper and headed south to Columbus to the Colorado river. The Gills, Glasses and the Earles all went with us. It was a fun filled weekend, but it was really windy the entire time. Chris Earles took two groups of kayakers and canoers down the river and we played Mexican Train and just plain relaxed. Other than the wind (which really was a blessing because it wasn't as hot) we had a perfect weekend. Saturday afternoon Chris and Daryl went into town and stopped in at a train shop. About two hours later they finally managed to escape. The man that owned it was in his 70s and had recently lost his wife to cancer and had just found out his dog was terminally ill. He instantly took to Chris and he talked and talked and talked and talked and finally we were able to tear ourselves away from him. He was interesting to listen too, but we were happy to escape. After Memorial day Greerson had four more days of school then it was officially summertime for him.
