A Week Back Home in Galesburg, Illinois

We spent last week in our hometown of Galesburg, Illinois.  We were supposed to go back in May but Ava had an unplanned surgery during that week so we had to reschedule our trip.  A week always sounds like a decent amount of time but it flies by every time.  We love KC but it is always fun to go back to the "burg"...where we grew up, where we have our old favorite places to go for a meal (or treat), where we can show the girls what parks we went to when we were kids, and of course where our families still live.  Here is a photo/video journey of our trip.

Swimming at "Grammy's pool"

The brave little stinkers even went down the slide and off the diving board!

Visiting one of the Galesburg Firehouses

Pretending at Discovery Depot (Galesburg's Children's Museum)

Don't worry...just more pretending at Discovery Depot!

Going down the same slide that mommy and daddy went down when they were little kids!

Playing on the riding lawn mower at Nana and Pappy's neighbor's house (Thanks to the Waddills!)

Playing at their other neighbor's swing set (Thanks to the Carlsons!)

Ice cream at Kastle Kreme...just a short walk from Grammy's house!

Happy Joe's Pizza with Great Aunt Allison and Gigi Pat

Trying out cousin Bubba's old toys...12 year olds can't fit on these things anymore!

If you look closely you can see the geese crossing the road in front of Nana and Pappy's house

Daddy's best man Matt and his wife Jill came over to go on a date with mommy and daddy!  Emmy got to play with Ava and Reese!

Car rides!
