A few weeks ago, we were able to enjoy a weekend away with Mike’s parents, siblings, and their kids. We are quite the crew these days. =) We stayed in Bradford, IL in a large old house/retreat center called, Shallowbrook Farm. We were all able to stay in one place and had a great time. I have so many pictures, it’s hard to even know where to begin, so I won’t even begin to hit all the highlights.
Parachute and Uncle Jason quickly became Creighton’s favorite when he was kind enough to lift him up so he could shoot a basket. Kate holding the bag of walnuts that she and Max collected. Baseball. Glorified Tennis. Car rides.
Brothers and then their boys
Water Balloon Volleyball
Kate took a real liking to Boone. Mike’s lovely wig.
A future generation of chess players??
All in all it was a great weekend! Thank you, John and Heather for all your planning!!! We enjoyed the weekend and look forward to next year.
Our good friend, and consistent babysitter for the kids, Hayley, just returned from Africa with a special gift for the kids. SHOES. They love them, THANK YOU, HAYLEY!
Last, but not least, we enjoyed some time at the Tremont Turkey Festival this past weekend. However, my camera had gotten something smeared on the lens so all the pictures from the rides (that Aunt Joyce graciously took Kate and Lincoln on – thank you) and the parade are all blurry. After the parade, John and Heather and family were able to come over to cook out and it was a great evening. The adults actually enjoyed several hours of adult conversation. I can’t even remember the last time I had a conversation that long with either of them. =) Thanks for making the effort to come over and spend the evening with us!!
