Our Trip to Illinois

Last Friday we headed back to Illinois to spend time with family.  Before we left we got to spend some time with our neighbors (the Southards) who had been gone for three weeks to Florida.  As you can see from the pictures, the kiddos enjoyed the sidewalk chalk.  Our trip to Illinois was great.  We were able to see all of our family and some family friends as well.  Even though we only get back a couple times a year (thanks to Ava and Reese's retired grandparents), it is always wonderful to get back.  The only down points about the trip were Reese's vomitting episodes in her carseat, her face plant on my mom's deck, and the flash flooding our hometown experienced leaving water in my mom's basement.  Luckily all of that is being taken care of...Reese is showing no signs of sickness and really never did, her face boo-boos are scabbing over, and the carpet in my mom's basement is being replaced!

Anyway, here are the pictures to give you a glimpse of our last couple weeks...
