A Little Work and a Lot of Play

It was about time that Kevin and I went back to IL to visit his parents and a few friends.  We both took off work for a few days and took a road trip! With Kevin’s parents moving to Rochester next summer we needed to do a little work around their house.   One of our projects ended up being cleaning and painting shelves in their garage.  I must say that Lizzy, Kalynn and I did a fine job painting! That is, after Lizzy decided that playing with sidewalk chalk was not considered “working".


 



Once we had our projects done it was all play from then on out.  We only were able to jump in their pool for one afternoon…the weather was not playing nice. Guess what was waiting for us inside after our fingers and toes were a mushy, wrinkled mess?  Homemade peppermint ice-cream!  It had to be some of the best homemade ice-cream I have ever tasted!  




Kevin and I were able to sneak away for an evening and meet up with Jayme, Josh, Jimmy and Susie.  We all met up at Angelo’s so Kevin and I could get our Spaghetti Pizza fix.  Man, was it good!  Unfortunately, we did not get a picture with Jimmy and Susie since they left early to make another commitment.  After dinner we went back to Josh and Jayme’s to play Pounce and devour our blizzards.  Josh kept score with his fancy pen and pretty paper!





A few other highlights:  Playing Wii with Kevin’s parents, daily family devotions, games, comments Kevin’s mom blurted out...which still make me laugh, getting Kevin’s  22 rifle, ALMOST going to the drive in movie, and RELAXING!
