A trip to remember!

Since I last wrote my sister and the kids and I took a quick trip down home (one hour south of St. Louis) to visit family and my grandmother who is very sick. (I wrote about her in my last post).  She isn’t doing well and I fear that she only has a little while left on this side of heaven.  However, we had a wonderful time getting to see her and family and showing the kids all that we used to do growing up.  I thought instead of just writing about what we did, I’ll show you in the pics we took.

Had to post this.  These are what we in the country call “Chigger Bites”. Ouch!  We were all covered in them.  It was from our walk in the woods!
