CAT and Dunes

May has been pretty busy.  Emily has worked all but one of the weekends, and yet we managed to take a few trips here and there.   We went to Peoria and visited Pete and Kelli (or to see Casen, as Erin says).  We had to make a return trip to the CAT visitor center.  They had a few different machines this time, but most of it was the same.  The kids enjoyed it, but they had lots of fun playing at Pete and Kelli's house.  Kelli has a few rabbits living around them and they've eaten her shrubs and flowers to the nub!  So Alex wanted to make a rabbit trap.  :)  Who needs toys to play with when all you need is a box, some string, and a wooden block!    It was a beautiful weekend and a nice trip.  We cant wait to see them again!

Hail on our back deck-- it was about pea sized


Erin talks alot about skid steers--probably because Pop drives one.

Alex and his rabbit trap


We spent Memorial Day at the beach!  We went to the Indiana Dunes State Park with some friends.  We just drove up and spent the morning, had a picnic lunch, and then head back home when it's nap time (and the beach is hot and super crowded!).  Can't wait to do that again!
