Pictures from our trip to the family reunion...

My boys right as we arrived in Racine we stopped at our favorite spot and took a rest before we went to meet up with all the family... i love my boys...
This is the church we attended on sunday with several other members of Richard's family it was established in the late 1800's and some of richards ancestors were founding members.... It is a very beautiful church and there was a very wonderful service.
The oogie boogie playing on the tire swing that hung from an old walnut tree in the front yard of the family homestead.
being goofy at the the hotel... On our way home from the family reunion we stopped at the brookfield zoo in Chicago, we got ther pretty late and didn't have to much time be did have fun and got to see lots of animals... Jesse's favorite was the baby giraffe that is under a year old...
Oogie and mommy have some fun at the zoo....
Oogie picking out our next destination on the map he was the "line leader" of the trip....
loved these two monkeys just chilling on the cliffs across from each other....
After the zoo Richard indulged me and my love for sushi and took us out to a very nice sushi resurant in Chicago, it was great and Jesse even ate some sashimi .halibut, he didn't like the wasabi very much though.....
Our last day of the trip out to lunch with Richards mom brother and sister at a wonderful resturant called the yellow rose in racine.
This is the first set of pics from the last few weeks were we have been out and about exploring the world. We also went camping and have pics from the county fair where jesse and i entered several things those will come in the next few days... enjoy
love the covells
