| Illinois Landscape |
On the last day of school this year Ben broke his collarbone messing around with his buddies at school. That was the start of a summer without too much to look forward to and certainly no football at the end of the summer..so we did other things. . .
 |
| Playing with Uncle Dave |
We drove out to Illinois and took Ben and his little sister Grace with us. We went to Kansas, Illinois wher Pappa's brother Dave lives. ...and we had a ball.
 |
| Flying with Uncle Dan |
We went to the county fair over in Charleston Illinois and had a lot of fun riding the rides and looking at livestock..here is Ben flying on a ride with his Uncle Dan. A truck pull that evening left all with ringing ears. The corn dogs were very good.
 |
| The Dragon Ride with Grace |
I think Grace still has nightmares about the Dragon Ride!!! She was not pleased with this one. . .
 |
| BIG Tractors |
The tractors sure were impressive and of course after we climbed all over them we saw the sign that said Keep Off
 |
| Axe throwing in Indiana |
After a great canoe trip through Turkey Run State Park we found a cool trading post that had an axe throwing range…Ben did well, sticking a few, bouncing a few.
 |
| Kansas, Illinois, Downtown |
The picture above is a typical view of Downtown Kansas, Illinois - what a charming little town.
 |
| Niagara Falls NY |
On the way home we took a different route and spent a couple days at Niagara Falls.
Now that's a lot of water!
 |
| On The Maid of the Mist |
We all got very wet riding the Maid of the Mist, and Ben and Pappa went and climbed up the side of the falls as if we weren't wet enough.
 |
| The whole family got wet |
It was a great trip and Ben and Pappa commanded the good ship from the front seats - Pappa at the helm and Ben was the Navigator.
 |
| On the road again |
We did the license plate game and got 46 states on the way out and 42 on the way bad. . .
 |
| Kayaking in Onset Bay |
To top off the summer we spent some time in Onset, Massachusetts in a cottage right on the water, swimming and kayaking every day.
