Liam purchased a camera with his own money to take pictures on this trip. He has hopes of sending Grandpop a bound book in memory of our visit (his Aunt Colleen and Grandparents K and Bob do the same). While Kelly and I were worried he might register rather than do (though Garrison Keillor might commend suffering and witnessing rather than doing to become a future English major and radio show host), Liam shows an impressive ability to use his camera only for brief moments--thus far.
Here is Liam trying to take a picture of Grandpop and Crispin as Grandpop rolls away from him.
Liam had a fine time drawing pictures for Grandpop. Crispin and I had a catch for a while, but when Crispin began to act as if he had ants in his pants, I made paper airplanes for him. I produced my smart phone to look up better directions for better flying paper airplanes (Liam--bless him--experimented and came up with his own crazy designs) and perhaps gave Grandpop a good shake his head experience. He offered to let me use his phone, but when I explained I was only use the computer aspects of my phone to look up origami patterns, he probably wished that we were talking about the lack of a Germany or even a central government during the time of Bach. It is hard to imagine shipping over to Africa and Italy in the 1940s in the War to End All Wars to think that your efforts to save the world would make it possible to look up paper airplane directions on a phone.
