Vacation .....at last
It sure was nice to finally get to go on vacation this year, we usually go in March so this was late for us. We started out on thursday night April 24th after work. The suitcases were all packed and the dog and cat at the kennel. We decided to stop about halfway in Elkhart, Indiana. Then the next morning we drove the rest of the way to Oregon, Illinois. There is a nice little , not fancy lodge there that we like to stay at called "chateau lodge:" Friday evening we had dinner with Ben , Emily and the "beautiful baby girls" . Saturday I put together the "teddy bear castle cake" for the girls birthdays. Sunday was church were we made new friends and shared the birthday castle cake. The church had a praise and worship band in which Emily's sister Carrie sang in. On Monday I babysat the gorgeous baby girls and the knight and Matthew went to the "John Deere " historical site. Ben made us dinner that night pizza , Saturday night he made salt potatoes and pork chops....you know my son really can cook, Emily made peach cobbler just special for "dad",it was so good. On Tuesday I went with Emily to the laundromat and ....well you know, did the laundry. We got the chance to chat a little and pick up Ben for lunch. Wednesday we spent the day in Moline, Illinois at the "John Deere" museum and then to the historical site again. That night for supper I made spaghetti and meatballs,and we said our goodbyes. On Thursday we drove straight home, starting out at 5AM and getting home at 9:30PM. We had a wonderful time just spending time with the everyone, just wish that they didn't live so very far away.
