A Tour of Central Illinois

What a busy, fun weekend! I went on a tour of Central Illinois and got to visit with so many people! Good ol' Champaign is where our trip began. We went there to see Lisa run the Illinois Marathon...she did such a great job! As you can see I made a sign to cheer her on...it was fun to crinkle up and chew on too!

I loved meeting Charlie...Lisa and Andrew's dog...she was so sweet! I also got to play in this stuff called grass for the first time! It was fabulous!!!! I loved pulling it out of the ground, however I am not so sure that the park's people appreciated my destruction.

Go Lisa!!!

As usual, I had to squeeze in a little cat nap too...all that cheering and playing tires one out!

Go Lisa Go!

After Lisa finished the race we headed to lunch...I had such a great time visiting with everyone! And I cannot wait to see these 2 in just a few weeks in Boston! We also got to visit with Mary, another one of Mommy's friends from college and some of Lisa's family members.

After lunch, we loaded back in the car and we were off to Bloomington for the night to see Aunt Reena, Uncle Brian and Jaron (Justin had to work). Here I am playing with Jaron (and my red ball...you will notice that this has become a great favorite of mine)

Here is Aunt Reena...

And Uncle Brian! At their house they gave me a red plastic cup...who would have guessed that a cup could provide so much entertainment (well except in games like Flippy Cup---I think my daddy will teach me this when I am older) After we visited there we headed to our hotel for the night.

The next morning I was still loving my red cup!!!

For breakfast my mommy let me try toast....yum!!!!!! I really did not eat it...it was just more fun to suck on and make a mess with!

Then I headed into the pool for a quick dip...

Splash, Splash

And then we headed back into the car to go to Peoria. It was so nice to see family that I have not seen in so long. Here I am with my Aunt Cheryl...

Grandma...

My godfather Jason...

Aunt Robyn...

Cole...my second cousin... It was of course to great to see everyone! I had more fun with the red ball and just visiting with everyone!!!

And still today I am smiling and happy....

And still Loving my red ball!!!
