Galena

Last weekend, Lucas and I went to Galena with "the crew" (Wally couldn't go because of baseball). We rented a 4 bedroom house and had a great time. There were 7 adults and 2 kids, Lucas and Blake (2 years old). Friday was a beautiful day and night so we were able to enjoy some drinks out on the deck of our house. Saturday was not so beautiful. It was chilly and rainy. We headed to the pool for a bit. Lucas and I sat this one out. It is recommended that babies don't go in chlorinated water until they are at least 6 months old so Lucas will have to wait to enjoy our pool this summer. We hung out around the house in the afternoon and then the girls and kids headed to downtown Galena for a little shopping. The guys met us for dinner. Then Sunday we all headed home. We are hoping to make this an annual trip. We need to find a time of the year that works best for everyone though since we were missing a few people. It will be fun to watch all of our families grow.

We had a fun time and Lucas did great in the car. I was a little worried because this was his first long road trip. The furthest he had been was about an hour and a half ride to LP. This was 2 1/2 hours from LP. We made the drive earlier in the day on Friday to La Salle and then drove to Galena from there. We made a quick stop in La Salle again on the way home to break up the ride a bit. He slept the entire time on all the car rides. He is a traveling baby!!

Enjoy some pics of the weekend!



A large moth made its way into our house...don't worry TJ and Jake got it!


Lucas and me at the pool!


I decided to take some pics of us while we were hanging out, but as you can see, I got the same face from Lucas that I always get when trying to take a picture...LOL


"Baby" Blake - he was too funny with the bouncer!


Our room


Naptime for Lucas...now I know babies aren't supposed to sleep with blankets, but it helps him fall asleep and then I remove it...don't worry!


Blake and Lucas - the first two kiddos...can't wait to see how the group grows!
