We stopped to see our friends Jennifer and Joel and Lydia in Charleston Il on the way back to texas. It was fun. The girls tried to play but we kept posing them for pics. =) Jen and I have been friends since we were 8 - almost 22 years now. =) 
We took our time coming home from Chicago. The girls loved the big hotel beds. MJ learned how to jump from one bed to the other bed. She actually became an expert in a very short time period!
