Grandpa Ross & Grandma Jenna

The Searl’s came to O’fallon for a quick visit. We packed as much fun in a few days as we could possible fit.  We enjoyed the Botanical Gardens (even in the pouring rain), the Arch, Nick drive and crash a race car (that will be a separate blog post), the O’fallon picnic, Nick’s BBQ, the root beer factory, and football in the backyard. They even hauled away a ton of my garage sale items. Can’t wait for them to come back and get the rest. Smile034009

You can’t even tell it is pouring down rain. We were sheltered under a big tree.

So brave for a 2 year old. He went all the way down and all the way back up.058010

After taking this picture I finally realized that I was using my fabulous new camera!

Walking to the Arch. Too bad Will wasn’t this happy in the Arch. I think my parents were reminded and thankful they only had one child.

Fitz Root Beer. This is my root beer float after I ate off 1/2 of the ice cream. It was so fun watching the root beer assembly line.

A little family football. Madeline called a huddle and had a secret game plan. It involved everyone going to a separate corner.291025318027409029
