Saturday, August 4 07 Piedmont

Today is float trip....At Jack's are Tony, Mary Kay, TJ, Emily, Steve and Katie...
Pat, Annie, B.C. are coming here and will only stay the day. Robert, Danny and Sally drove in about 11 a.m. Can't believe all these kids are so grown up.

Had leisurely breakfast and coffee at the house....then scurried to get everyone ready for float....Got to Kemper's at noon and got all the canoes lined up, took group pix and then headed out.

We had 12 canoes and had a wonderful float. It was hot, but the water was cool and the shade was nice on the gravel bars where we stopped. We got back about 3:30 or 4:00 and Jerry went to pick up the meat we had ordered. I had gone over to Jack's earlier to pick up the food they were contributing. We had decided to eat immediately after the float trip rather than send them all back to Jack's to clean up, get food ready and then come back to our house. We learned that lesson last year.

We just all enjoyed being together. After dinner and the Stemmler's went back, those of us left at the house decided to play a hot game of Pictionary. We played 2 games and have added a new classic drawing to our growing list.....in addition to John and Malia's famous "duck dive", we now have John Simon's "placemat"! It was really funny and we all got lots of laughs from that one.
