Back to Blogging

Sometimes it is too nice out to blog much or be on the computer! Along with that, we went on a vacation to Kankakee, to visit my cousin and her husband, which was fantastic! A sampling of what we did:
Italian Cuisine at Uncle Joe's
Mariachi Monday at La Mex in Joliet





Tiki Night in their back yard






Birthday cruise on Maureen's pontoon on the river
as well as
a delicious homemade chocolate cake







Chicago style pizza, A fun night at Turtle Tap,









Fairy Night -- we attempted to make fairies for toadstools, but were not as familiar as we needed to be with using polymer and molds, but we did okay!
Chicago & Navy Pier, Rainforest Cafe,




the ferris wheel,





some putt-putt, a boat ride to see the skyline,





a train ride to get back!
Relaxing, junk-shop review, Chinese food, homemade chicken and dumplings, lots of sparkling and lite-up surprises, and a very fun house and yard.







I simply have the best cousin in the world and we both are blessed with really wonderful husbands.
