Home for the day!

Two weeks ago, Darcy, Rhianna, Oscar, Kieran (Rhianna's boyfrined), Chris, the girls and I went to Illinois for the day. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing. Darcy called me on Friday to see if I would want to go. Originally we were going to stay the night at our Uncle Bill's but Jillian didn't really want to do that, so we just went for the day. We had a great tme!! It felt like being at home. I loved every minute of it. We started off swimming...

Then we headed back to the campsite to eat. We had some hot dogs & smores. Granny & mom came out to see how things were going & to see if the campground had changed since the last time they had been out there. Which it hadn't changed too much.

Carleigh wasn't very happy that she couldn't crawl around everywhere. LOL

Then Jillian went fishing for the first time. It was slightly frustrating, but I tried not to let it get to me too bad. Jillian had some nibbles, but that was all. I think she really liked doing it though. We will have to do it again.

Then we decided to go into Goodwine & play on the train tracks a little. Chris stayed back at the campsite to take a little nap. But we put some coins on the tracks & waited for a train to smoosh them. Everyone but me & Carleigh tried to walk down to the old bridge, but it was pretty grown over so I didn't want to take Carleigh. There was also still the old caboose that they went on to take pictures. A couple of trains did go by, so I think all the kids did get a smooshed coin to bring home.

Then we went back to camp where Chris & jillian did a little more fishing.

Then the Holland clan packed up & we started on our way home.

It has been a while since I have blogged.. We haven't necessarily been busy, but haven't really just been sitting around either. I think we have had something to do every weekend, that is for sure. I just wish I could remember what we have done......

Judy came in to town for a week. She stayed with us for the first couple of days. Jillian was so happy to see her & Carleigh warmed up to her right away. Which is a little surprising because she is pretty "stranger" resistant recently. Jillian didn't want to stay home with her on that Monday though, so Carleigh stayed home with her for a little bonding time. Judy went down to Greensburg for some of the week & then to Rick & Shelley's for the rest of her visit. We went down there on Saturday to say goodbye to Judy & Tara because she was going over seas for a trip.

I will have to figure out what we have done since then & catch up on my blog later.
