Trip to Illinois in July/August

Three silly cousins... Jaden, Phoenix and Kira.
We went to State Farm Park pool a few times. They have a huge kiddie play area, a regular kids play area, a lazy river, a regular pool, and a big slide/diving board area. It was great fun for us all. Michelle braved the little slide with both boys. They squealed with delight the whole way down.

Mom and Michelle hanging out on the side of the pool talking and taking pictures. I took the camera from Mom to get a quick picture to capture the moment. I am glad I did. Mom always smiled big and laughed loud to show her joy in Christ Jesus.


Kira holding Michaela. This was Kira's favorite thing to do the entire trip. Any chance that she got, she was asking to hold Michaela.



A picture of Grandma with her daughter and 5 grand kids. At first, Mom was taking the picture of us cousins with Grandma, but then the neighbor came out and offered to take a picture with all of us in it. Since we had all taken the trip to Grandma's house, we thought that would be a good idea. Grandma was exhausted so she sat in the van and we huddled around. Mom was in the shadows for the picture, but at least we had her in this picture. So often Mom was the one taking the pictures and not in them.
