Monday, June 8 - We left Barkley about 7 AM and arrived at the kids about 3:30 in the afternoon. It was a nice drive with some rain on the way. The roads on I-57 in Illinois need some work. It was great to see Margaret, Jeff, Jacob, Joshua, and Rosie. We all faded about 10 PM and hit the sack.
Tuesday, June 9 - We did some errands this afternoon while Jake and Josh were in their last full session of school. We enjoyed Gyros for lunch, had Margaret's van washed, then picked up the kids. Jake had a baseball practice, which we enjoyed. It cooled off quite a lot, so sweatshirts were helpful. Jake is doing well playing and enjoys it. One of the boys had to leave, so Josh even had a chance to cover 3rd base. We can almost see Rosie grow. She is still all puppy, but is learning how to behave. Her very sharp puppy teeth continue to be a problem.
Wednesday, June 10 - Josh had his game this evening which we enjoyed a lot. Watching 5 y/o kids throw & catch is quite entertaining. Josh did a great job fielding and got 3 hits.
Thursday, June 11 - We decided we need to have birthdays early, since we will not be able to be around when they actually turn 6 & 9. We got the boys Rocket Fishing Rods that they have been wanting. We took them over to local ponds, but need to make some modifications to enable some actual catching. They have mastered the workings of the rods, however, and enjoyed them.
Friday, June 12 - We went to the Morton Arboretum today. They have added a lot of things to keep kids occupied with hands on activities. It was a great outing. Josh had a game this evening and the weather was perfect. He did a great job again.
Saturday, June 13 - Rain, rain, go away. Jakes game was rained out this morning, so we have not been able to see him play, only practice. We may stay another day so we can see a game.
