Marshall gets some Daddy time!

We headed for the ranch Sunday afternoon and had dinner with Bill and Rhetta and their family and the Shultzes. We had a good time and the kids had a great water balloon fight. On July 4th we were pretty lazy. We went out to the Greer cemetary and checked on the progress of the new gate. Then came home and ate some ribs and then headed up to the theatre to watch a movie (and for some take a nap).

Daryl and his niece Robin decided to go to the Ladson and Billie Worley reunion at the last minute and headed to Arkansas in her Prius. It was a quick cheap trip. They left at 3:40 in the morning and stayed the next day and came home the following day. The "K" Girls performed for everyone and we had a good time seeing each other.

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.
