A little more time in the Midwest...before the big drive home.
We were only here for a such short time but we had such fun.
We had time with those cute little GRANDKIDS: Gavin, Liam, Lennox, Audrey and Scarlett!!
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS at the Palatine High School Homecoming. Richele was a Palatine Pirate and now her nephew Gavin plays in the marching band! That was such a fun night.
IOWA FOOTBALL at the Iowa Penn/State game. Heartwarming and Heartbreaking!!!
- Richele and her sister are both Hawkeyes and huge fans!!! Now Richele's nephew Jack is a Hawkeye and plays in the marching band...THAT BAND ROCKS THE STADIUM!!
- This was the ANF (America Needs Farmers) game..a great way to honor our farmers.
- The University of Iowa Children's hospital overlooks the football field. At the end of the first quarter, all the fans and players turn to wave to the children watching the game from their rooms...SOOOO heartwarming it makes you cry.
- THEN after such and exciting game, Iowa lost in the last 2 minutes. It was just like a balloon popped. - we all walked away so deflated. SIGH.
- OH and it was 85 degrees with 90% humidity for this night game - UGH - this is not Fall football weather. We were sweltering!
Richele got her DIY fix (with her willing assistant Bob) repainting Jimmy and Sarah's cabinets at the lake house. Here are some of the BEFORE/DURING AND AFTERS! We will work for free lodging at your lake house toooo!!
