We arrived in Illinois for a three week visit with daughter Laurie, SIL Roger, and granddaughters Payton and Ella.
We were just in time for Payton's graduation from kindergarten (which is quite a production today) and all the partying afterwards.
The girls have waited for our annual trip to Amboy Illinois to Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, a theme RV park for kids that has been a big hit since their mother was their age and we took her.
Our trip means a day full of miniature golf, swimming, bike riding, cookouts, and of course photos with Yogi and friends.
The trip is a guaranteed hit with no requests from three year old Ella to go home, in fact the night we did return their folks were informed they wanted to stay with poppa and gramma in the motorhome! We will undoubtedly start making the trips longer as they get older. We also look forward to the day that Emily and Kate get their visit from Hawaii.We are now in Central Illinois visiting friends and family in the Peoria and Bloomington areas for what has become a week's stay. We are planning to leave Wednesday morning for Indiana to have a minor paint problem resolved and then on to Michigan to Jeff's sister Dianne and husband Larry.
