The Best Day Ever! (Part 2)

After returning home from touring the USS LST-325 we took everyone to Brentwood Days where we met one of Kaz's best friends, Bella. We all had a most excellent time.

The Best Day Ever! (Part 1)

We took the kids to Chester, Illinois, this morning to see the USS LST-325 (Landing Ship Tank), one of only two WWII LSTs to be preserved in the U.S. We didn't tell the boys where we were going, but after much whining, complaining, and questioning about where we were going, when we crossed the Mississippi River bridge into Chester and they saw the ship they were st0ked. After a tour of the ship, the boys got to hold guns, talk to some veterans, and see tanks, jeeps, and a bunch of other military vehicles. It was a great trip.

New Clothes for Nini

Thanks to Addie, Inara, Aunt Terri, and Uncle JP we have some new clothes for Nini. She was so happy trying them on, and I really enjoyed helping her get dressed. Little girls are so much fun!

Gram, Pappa, Dad, and the Kids

We had a great time at the cabin with Gram and Pappa. We only wish we would have had more time. We're already planning what to do next year on the island.
