Dad and Mom got to go a Chicago Bulls game last week with Mr. and Mrs. Thacker. 

The camera got left in the car, but they snapped a picture of each couple before leaving. :) 

Anna's Birthday Night Out

It’s a tradition for our 13th birthday, that you get to go out on a date with Dad and Mom. 

Anna chose Olive Garden for her restaurant. 

25th Anniversary

I am so thankful for the wonderful man I married.

Quilt Gardens Tour

 The little "breakfast nook" in our suite

I loved these cups!

Took this for my dad - Amish walking sticks

This one is for you too, Dad - an interesting barn

We ate at the Essenhaus on Friday night.

Dulce de Leche and Mocha Chip frapps. M-mmm!

Traffic often came to a standstill or a slow ride, as we waited for buggies to pass in the streets in and around Middlebury and Shipshewana.  Not a problem -- we were not in a hurry anyway.  Lovely, hardworking people and beautiful farms all along the way.  Would love to have posted some pictures of the cute little Amish children in their black hats and overalls.

Thank you to our children for a most relaxing three days.
