This past weekend, John and I took Derek and Emily on a small road trip. We went to More on 34 which is 100 miles of yard sales!! We had a lot of fun! We ended up in the Earlville/Mendota area. We stopped at the cemetary and John put flowers on his Dads grave for Fathers Day....
We went to Busters for supper...John's favorite place for breakfast!
We also rode around by Starved Rock and Buffalo Rock...
Then, it was back over the Bridge on the Illinois River and on to Utica where we stopped at an ice cream shop and had the most delicious ice cream!
While driving around....we also seen a few wind farms, which the kids are fascinated by. We also saw our share of bad weather and drove in some that was pretty scary....
We had a very nice time.....On saturday, we had a great family cookout....Mom brought fruit salad, hot dogs and buns....Donna brought green beans and rice krispy treats....Sheri brought baked beans and apple pie....I made potato salad, chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting, hamburgers, buns and provided drinks and condiments! It was all very good!!
On Sunday, Fathers Day, it was a beautiful sunny day. We were in the pool for over 2 hours, got way too much sun! Jim, Donna and the girls were over and we had ramen noodle salad, grilled beets, chicken shishkabobs with pineapple, tomatoes, celery, and onion from my garden! They were great. We also had mashed tators, jello with fruit and leftover fruit salad from yesterday! Then we all went outside and the kids played ball and we snapped a few pictures...
Over all we had a great weekend with a lot of acitivity, lots of great food, great bargains, and fantastic family!!
