After our weekend in Baton Rouge we left for IL on July 8th to visit Jeremy's family. We stopped in Memphis along the way and drove past Graceland, that was fun! We ate at the Rock and Roll Cafe and Jeremy got a 30 year anniversary Elvis T-shirt. Then it was on to IL. It was a long drive but not too long because when we got there the first thing the kids wanted to do was take a dip in Aunt Mary's pool!
We spent the week poolside and when we weren't at the pool we were relaxing. Alex really got into swimming this trip. The very first day he was a dare devil jumping off the diving board to Jeremy's arms! We spent one day at the St. Louis zoo. The day before our last was spent at the lake on Holiday Shores where Alex got out on a boat for the first time and went tubing. He and daddy rode along side Uncle Tony and cousin Chase. Aidan didn't feel like doing it this year but he would have had a lot of fun if he had!
Poppy George's house was nice with all of the updates. We enjoyed seeing Granny B and Aunt Pam too. Aunt Doris came down from Springfield and cousin Jeff spent a lot of time visiting. The kids loved playing on Chase and Lincoln's playscape at Aunt Randi Kay and Uncle Tony's house. We also loved playing with Madelyn and Gibson who are growing so quickly!
Our week was fun and too brief. We love spending time in IL.
