A big congratulations goes out to Adam's Aunt Cheryl and her new husband, Lauren. It was so nice to have a visit with them while we were in Algoma. The newly-weds came to see us at the condo, along with Cheryl's dad, Bernie. Bernie got a lesson from Jack on the ins and outs of his Kindle. I am not sure Bernie understood one thing Jack told him, but he was a good sport.
We were able to spend some time exploring Algoma on Sunday afternoon. Our first stop was the pier and a walk to the lighthouse. As we climbed out of the car, Jack wrinkled up his nose and said, "What's that smell?"
Adam's reply, "That's Algoma."
I have never been so nervous as a mother, as I was for that twenty minutes. Poor Nolan's hand had to hurt from the grip I had on it. I casually asked Adam if he thought that the city of Algoma should invest some money into installing a rail or two along the pier. He laughed and pointed to where he used to ride his bike off the pier into the water. I guess that was my answer.
The town has a nice boardwalk with a sandy beach. The kids wanted to pick up every rock they saw along the way. At times, Nolan needed a hand moving forward.
The remainder of the afternoon was spent with Jeff and Teri. This fine couple opened their home, tree farm, and hearts to Adam as he grew up. Their son Josh, was Adam's best man at our wedding and is a part of many of the stories I have heard about Adam's formative years. Jeff and Teri have a house and yard that suited our active boys perfectly. Digging in the sandbox, riding bicycles, and even a foot race with Teri made the afternoon fly by.
