Land of Lincoln






Kennidy, Sidney and I went to visit family in Illinois last week. Boy is it a gorgeous state! I am not sure I have seen so much GREEN in one place! More beautiful and much more slower paced than California!!  We all had so much fun! We didn't let the heat and humidity (95+ degrees everyday with over 50% humidity...making the heat index rise to 106) keep us homebound.

Got corn?



Caught Kennidy smiling at  me in the side mirror of the car



Sidney up close and personal with the locals



Hangin' out


Sidney just met and kissed Radar



Best friends



We enjoyed playing board and card games during the week.

While we played cards, Sidney did magic tricks!

Crazy wind and rain storm our last night



Look at those clouds!

We all had a wonderful time together and cherish memories made!! It was quite a comely trip (inside joke).
