Walking on the lake!  He was actually mad because we said that we were going to drive across the lake (as lots of people do) to go to Wal-Mart, but then we didn’t actually see anyone driving across when we were there and decided not to.  But it was fun walking on the lake!

Another wrestling meet

I only take pictures when Joseph is winning.  Watching his matches can be a bit stressful.  It is not about being the strongest at all; much more about thinking—remembering the moves and figuring out how to put them together, plus mental strength and stamina.  Joseph was definitely not always successful, but sometimes!
