Todd went out to Milwaukee for work this weekend, so the kids and I headed down south to visit the country folk. Our drive was absolutely beautiful. The sky was dark with thunder clouds. The fields were lush green or freshly plowed rich brown and the mountains were deep blue and purple. The smell in the air was amazing and fresh from the rain. Sometimes just the drive is worth the trip. The kids love pointing out the cows, horses, sheep and pigs along the way as well.
We had a great time with Grandma Suzie & Grandpa Dallis. We saw Grandma Jami and Christian and we got to play with cousins Sean, Lizzie & Stockton at Uncle Cameron and Sarah's house. We also got to see Lizzie dance in a pageant on Friday. She did a great job. We love them so much, and always enjoy the easy nature of the crowd down home. There's nothing like the Ideal Dairy's Cherry Slush and Red Raspberry Sherbet ice cream to remind me of days gone by. We also loaded up on their famous punch bags to bring home for summer drinks.
