Illinois Road Trip

In mid-June our family, along with Granny Nichols, loaded up and headed west. The boys caught up with us in Illinois, coming a little later with Mama and Papa, because of their two-week, fun-filled vacation in Michigan (I don't have digital pics of their trip, but Grandma Burley made them a pretty cool scrapbook of their travels to Mackinaw and the sand dunes). We were able to attend my cousin's wedding, and a family reunion all in one day, so it was a pretty productive trip! Thanks, Melissa and Ray, for hosting us and making us so comfortable! We certainly enjoyed being together (for the first time in forever!).
Check out the little blondies...Emily and Kaitlynn...boy, did they have some fun!

And then there is AJ and Alli...they had their own share of a good time!
