Ok, it's been awhile since we've been able to access the blog site, the school had blocked a bunch of stuff at the beginning of the school year, and just today freed up a lot of the sites that were blocked. Anyway we're back...not that there will be a lot of updates to come, but there are three sets of pictures that we've been wanting to get on the site for some time.
We went to the Black Hills of South Dakota this past summer; took in Addison's first camping experience, which took place at the KOA campground near Mount Rushmore with my sister and her family. Addison really enjoyed our time with her cousins and aunt Kay and uncle Brian. We cooked over an open fire; watched the running of the campground horses every morning; Mount Rushmore; Storybook Island; a down pouring of rain and hail. Addison still asks about "the camper", she loved it!
Chicago Reunion: we met up in Chicago with all of our "forever families" that we traveled with over to China. We visited the sites of Chicago: China Town, Navy Pier, Michigan Ave; ate at the Billy Goat Taveren, and a place the Travel Channel had as the #8 place to "chow-down" - Stella's - the home of deep fat fried pizza, it was amazing! We spent a couple of days with Bill, Deb, Ian, and Ella - our Wisconson forever family at their cottage on a lake in Wisconsin before traveling together to Chiacao. Thanks Bill and Deb, it was a relaxing few days!
Addison was born in the year of the Rat.
Addison really likes the movie Beauty and the Beast. This is her imitation of the Beast!
This is Danny, Carmen's daddy. Carmen is sitting right next to Addison in the middle of the couch picture above.
Ella, enjoying a swing in the park.
Fouth of July weekend at the lake with the Fultz side of the family and friends. Good times!
