One day we went out on the lake with one of my mom's co-workers and his wife. They were wonderful hosts and treated us just like family.
Here's Joshua with "Captain Meader" driving the boat.

John David and Julia went out on the inner tube.

Joshua was busy enjoying some snacks. That boy has some hair.

A little family of geese came to visit us and the kids shared some of their lunch.
