071007 - Doc, Jack, Dylan & I finished coating the drive and Lori took Grant to the Dr for his ears. He still has a bad ear infection... Dylan has been extremely bored the last couple days with all the sick brothers around, so him and I went to Friendship park and de-stressed a bit. We walked along the crick, threw rocks and got our feet wet. Then we got some grocerys and brought dinner home. Everyone got a bath, medicine and off to bed. L & I up getting ready for the week...
