Grandma and Grandpa visited this weekend, bringing along my Uncle and Aunt with them.  (Uncle Calvin headed straight from the car to the river, barely noticing the family and house along the way.)

Mommy enjoyed reading, Calvin enjoyed kayaking, Grandpa enjoyed fishing, and everybody enjoyed the $0.69 pot pies from Sav-A-Lot.  The kids took their grandparents down the river for a short rafting trip.  The water was cold, but not cold enough to keep a couple of us from continuing on down the river a bit.  Grandpa spent the better part of the day rigging up a pulley system to deliver his bags from the driveway up to the deck.  I shucked some walnuts in the dark resulting in severe hand stains.  Oh, and one of the adirondack chairs collapsed and had to be sacrificed to the fire ring.
