Trip to Peoria

Yesterday, Saturday, September 11th we ventured down to Peoria to see Nicks family. We left the house about 9:45. made a few pit stops (i.e. Starbuck and gas) and were on our way. We arrived in Peoria about 12:45 to Nick’s 2nd cousin Brady’s peewee football game. Brady had some good plays, but sadly they lost their first game of the season. After the game, we headed back to Bud & Judy’s house for a little while as we waited for the rest of the crew to show up. Eventually we picked a restaurant and headed to Cracker Barrel. After we were done eating, we headed outside and continued our visit for another 15-25 minutes. It was wonderful to get to see everyone and introduce Brin to the Fonner’s. Here are some pictures of our day:  Bud, Judy Annalisa and NickTerry & Joy

After leaving Cracker Barrel we headed toward home. We got as far as Veterans Pkwy in Normal, IL and needed a stop at Starbucks. Since we were in Normal, we decided to drive around ISU campus a little bit and see how it has changed in almost 10 years. (that is HARD to believe) Back on the road again and the baby needed to eat, so I climbed to the back to feed her. After she downed 4 ounces QUICKLY, we pulled over to a gas station to fill up and burp Brin. Nick took on the burp duty as I took on gas duty. I had to capture a picture of Nick and Brin playing in the car while I was finishing up the gas! Caught RED HANDED! :)
