Time flies....
Can't believe it's already been six (or more!) weeks since my last post! I wanted to be posting very regularly (a few times a week?) - now I'm going to shoot for at least a few times a month....
Anyway, I'll start with some photos from the summer trip to Illinois and Ohio - we had such a great time! Highlights of Illinois were the Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum with Tony, mini-golfing, swimming with the whole gang every day, and picnics/BBQs at parks and in the backyard. Highlights from Ohio were swimming, the Colombus zoo (vampire bats!), and lots of fun watching the Olympics (and definitely for Bridget a highlight was make-overs with Emma - Emma was wonderful and patient! Thank you Emma!) On our way from Ohio to Illinois we were able to visit my old friend Georgie and her family - her husband Jeff is a farmer who lives only about 2 miles away from Zionsville High School - it was fun to see the school again and visit their farm - the corn is so tall and the tractors/combines are enormous!
Thanks to Tony and Lynne and family and Lisa and Loren and family for giving us a wonderful Midwest vacation!
