We had a great weekend at the lake. The weather wasn't perfect, but it was still nice to be out and we were able to boat and swim. The best part is, my dad flew his little 4 seater coop plane to Grove and met us on Friday. Luke was so excited when we told him we were going to go to the airport to pick up Grandpa! When we got to the airport Dad had already landed and was walking towards us, though he was still a good distance off. So I told Luke to run to Grandpa and he did. It was so sweet to watch. We mostly just hung around the house Friday night after we picked up my dad. Saturday morning was pretty overcast to start and we knew it would be too cold to swim right away so we went to the airport and "helped" Grandpa fill the plane up with gas. Luke got to taxi to get gas with Grandpa and Mommy, but on the way back, it was just Grandpa and Luke. We then came home and had a quick tour on the boat and then it was home for grilling hamburgers and eating outside. Luke had a nap, and even though I wasn't tired, I managed to nap for 1 1/2 hrs too! Then after Luke woke up we went back out and we all went swimming (Kyle and Dad were jealous of my water shoes. They come in very handy in a lake that is all rock and NO sand!!) and then Kyle and Dad rode the tube. Dad tried skiing, but didn't get up. We then went to eat at the Reingarten (German restaurant...Thanks Tara and Jeremy!!) and it was great. Sunday we went to church (Luke was overtired from his weekend and did NOT behave very well. He managed to have to sit in time out twice and get THREE! spankings). We ate and then took Grandpa to the airport and watched him take off. The ride home with Luke is still too painful to discuss.
Luke and Grandpa were great buds. Luke always wanted to sit by Grandpa, have Grandpa hold him, read to him...whatever. I have a feeling that some people are going to have to work extra hard to get any Luke time when we go to Nebraska for our visit at the end of September.
I, of course, forgot our camera so you'll all have to wait and suffer until I get pictures from my mom when she uploads them, whenever that will be. *hint hint nudge nudge*
