Abigail & Olivia visit Illinois, Colorado and Missouri

































































Here are a few pictures from our visit to Illinois. It was our last stop on a long (long) trip across the United States. We had a great time in Colorado with Larry's parents and the quick stop in Illinois to see his extended family was also great fun. The girls loved playing with their Great Grandmother Grace and all of her fun toys! We need to say a very sincere thank you for all of the hospitality of everyone who we stayed with and had the chance to visit. This move (which is about 80% complete) has been less stressful and a more fun because of it. We'll be moving into our house in Newport, Rhode Island in the next couple of weeks and look forward to a fun year!

Colorado Jeep Trip






On our 4 day Jeep tour of Colorado we crossed 14 mountain passes and only 5 of them were paved. We almost died only twice. Dad, thanks for letting us use your Jeep.
