On our way

I know you are excited.  It's time for our vacation posts! 


We are not the drive-straight-through-the-night-and-get-across-the-country-all-in-one-shot type of people.  We try to enjoy the journey as well as the destination.  This means that we stop a lot.  Our first stop was in Bettendorf.  We spent the afternoon and evening with our friends the Garners while Greg attended a meeting in Moline (it was a meeting they postponed because he broke his arms).    My kids love going to the Garners!  They know they will have a good time there.  We appreciate their friendship and hospitality.
These two girls sure do like each other.  I am glad they get to see each other sometimes.  We got to enjoy Anne Marie's company for a few days after we got home, too.

Anna is always happy when she gets to play with a pet for the day.  She would really like a pet.  I am happy letting her get her fix in at other people's homes.

The Garners live by this great meadow where we all enjoyed a game of "kick the can" for Family Home Evening.

What a great way to start off our vacation!
