Trip to Illinois - part 1

We went to Illinois in late September to visit friends and family. On the way, we stopped in Indiana to visit friends. It was a beautiful fall day and it was a joy to drive through the fields of golden beans and corn.

It was just barely warm enough to swim. Personally I thought it too cold but hey, it was just above 70 so it was warm enough for the children.

One of the girls is in college, so we met up with her for lunch.

Then onto Illinois! We went to one of our cousin's cross country races.

We also met my dh's godparents at a wonderful restaurant on the Hill in St. Louis (fantastic Italian food!). Doesn't this picture remind you of the Norman Rockwell picture of Thanksgiving dinner? Especially Nathan's face partially out of the picture, but looking back.
