The right start for every stay at Ma & Granddad's: pretzels!
And then a trip to Alfano's. I've lived/worked a lot of places: DC, West Palm, Chicago, etc. But never- let me repeat, NEVER- have I eaten pizza as good as this. If you are ever in the Rockford area and want to try to best pizza in the world, send me a message and I will send you directions!
Moses didn't eat the pizza (*sigh*), but he did have fun with Granddad.
And after Alfano's: Mix Park!
My cautious little boy has grown up so much this year!
And after a good bath, the kids had fun spending time in the family room with Ma & Granddad:
And then... MA'S BROWNIES!!!
Hosanna didn't get brownies, but she did get to play in the nursery where so many grandbabies have played before!
Of course, we had a delicious breakfast by Ma the next morning. Hosanna wanted to share her breakfast with Ma:
We've been wanting to take our little cowboy on a Wild West vacation, and fortunately there was a special festival that weekend at one of the state parks. Here the kids try out one of numerous teepees:
One of the highlights was a real Native American dance circle:
It got Hosanna's attention!
Moses wasn't too keen on the noise, but ZuZu really got into the "Indian dancing":
Another highlight: getting to go INSIDE the Blackhawk statute!
My little Indians:
And what would a trip to Ma & Granddad's be without...
Visiting the store...
and Aunt Cherri's pool!
It was truly a vacation we will remember forever. The kids were good and so joyful. The perfect trip!
