This was the last day of the Big Annual visit of Chip, Laurie and Dylan. Things went very smoothly largely because Laurie had things pretty much under control last night.
Dylan and I had time for a long talk about the visit - some new things that we did and some other things that we didn't have time for this year. We missed riding the pontoon on Torch Lake this year, and stopping at Docksides for their fabulous cherry chicken salad for example.
He always enjoys the family picnic and he really enjoyed going tubing at the Rapids this year...I'm sure it will be a "must-do" activity next year. I think they went down there three times this summer.
Dylan was especially sweet this year, especially to his Grandma. When the sciatica flared up, he couldn't have been nicer or more understandintg.
