For those of you who live around here...you know last weekend, Memorial Day Weekend, was cold and wet. The weather kept us inside for most of the weekend. Monday afternoon/evening my parents planned a BBQ at Grandma Helen's place in Wallsburg. That sounded like a perfect place to be on Memorial Day. Most of the Draper clan was there, along with Uncle Carl's family and my cousin Connie's family. Strange to be there without Grandma Helen, but it was so good to see everyone and catch up.
The rain cleared after we ate, and almost everyone walked up to the pond. The kids had fun riding the 4-wheelers, throwing rocks in the pond, and watching all of the dogs swim for sticks. Zeke had the most endurance, and swam for a good 30 minutes. With all of the crazies around (I'm talking about my brothers-in-law) usually someone gets a little hurt.
I don't think anyone got hurt today, but the new game was to see who could put the dog's shock collar against their own neck and turn it up setting by setting. I'm not sure who won, but why would you want to do that to yourself? The only spill that happened was when Grandpa had Jake, Stevie, and Isaac in a trailer behind the 4-wheeler and the trailer dumped over. Needless to say...Stevie decided not to get back on with crazy Grandpa :-)
