Fun!

We had a lot of fun on our vacation!

We like traveling.  We don't get to

do it very much, so we enjoy it!

Chicago, IL

Mommy ran a race in Lafayette, IN for 

the 2nd year in a row:

The Mayor of Lafayette and Mommy!

Monkey business!

Mommy's loot for winning 1st place in age group 30-39!

Yum!  The greasy potatoes made Mommy's

humidity race headache so much better!

Oliver liked the white bread.  Special occasions.

Cake Walk!  Mommy won two that night!

Finding old friends!  Kaeden and Oliver!

Mommy had to study a lot and turn a lot of 

assignments on our vacation:

She had fun at the small library and

got to hang out a little bit 

with the sweet librarian.  

Purdue:

We got to go to Grammie and Grandpa's college.

We were searching for some important statues...

stay tuned.

We found Neil Armstrong's moon footprints!

Did you know that Neil Armstrong went to Purdue?

Sweet!

Taking one big leap for mankind!

Did you know Amelia Earhart was

a professor for a couple of years at Purdue?

Exercise!

Tabernacle at Park:

Theodore Roosevelet.  Mommy had a class

meeting and couldn't be there.  She gave Kaeden

money for the candy stand for him, Oliver, and 

little brother Corbin.  They went and got some

treats before the show.  Oliver enjoyed himself!

A cute store in town.  So cute.

Yummy foods, coffee, and gifts!

Waiting for dinner at the Hotel:

Yum.  Chicken and noodels.  Oliver LOVED it!

It was a busy, popular night!  We had fun eating with 

everyone that sat at our table!

Mr. Grumpy Pants is really cute when he is grumpy.

So cute, Mommy wrote a "poem" about him.

 More Shows:

Quickly using the luxuries at the Loflen's hotel

and Mommy playing with this cute 

WALKING baby!  9 months old and walking!

Oliver did the same thing!

 Olympics:

Oliver wanted to participate this year, he was just to

tired.  He wondered why they start at 9:00 am on

a Saturday.  He is like a mini teenager who 

likes to sleep in now!

Beautiful hotel and a very lightly attended Olympics.

Art Colony again:

Is it a type of art that Mommy isn't putting

the pictures in order?  Oh well.

Tri Kappa Stand Reminder:

(Mommy thinks this is still important.)

Traveling:

It was kind of fun driving that Tahoe!

We are such popcorn lovers.

Mommy hopes we can go a little longer next year.
