It was Frank's 89th birthday so Margaret rallied the family to spend Saturday at
Possum Kingdom Lake. Shawna needed to see her mom, so we went our respective ways for the weekend.

Keith flew in to Dallas (from Denver) on the Friday morning. He used that as an opportunity to meet with a vendor in Dallas, so rented a car at
Love Field and drove to Richardson. After the meeting was over he drove straight to dinner at
Fishtail in Bedford where Jean, Dick, Margaret, Graham, and Lily all met him. It was a quick dinner at 6pm before heading to the house - where Keith quickly crashed by 8:30pm!

Saturday it was up at 6:30am since we were to all depart at 7:30am for the lake. Everyone was on time - so Keith drove Graham and Boone, Margaret drove her kids and Lily, while Jean and Dick picked up Frank. We all arrive at the lake within 15 minutes of each other - and it did not take long until the 4 kids, Margaret, Graham, and Keith were all in the water. The temperature was really nice - and we lucked out on the rain since
Hurricane Harvey was barreling toward Houston at the same time. The day was quite typical of days at the lake: three swims out to "spider island" (aka, a floating dock), a light lunch, drinks and guacamole on the back porch, and hamburgers (by Chef Graham) for dinner. Keith got a great workout throwing all 4 kids from the dock endlessly, while also playing "30 second boss" (coined by Owen, describing the game of Keith trying to make sure no kid could stay on the dock more than 30 seconds without being thrown off). In the evening the kids gave Frank birthday cards. We all left at about 8:30pm.
