Wonderful Wisconsin: Part 3-What a Day for a Sunday Drive

[Thank you for your continued interest in our fascinating summer trip. And so the story goes...]


Sunday we went to church at St. Ed's, and my goodness was Lauren, um... "participatory". She was singing along, shouting out her, er...praises, etc. She was actually very good, but just not super quiet. Mom swears that everyone was smiling at her 'interjections', and a very kind nun said that she loves it when children join in. WHEW.


Afterwards, we saw off Paul, Kelly, and her parents, and made our way to Perkins to see my cousin Amanda , who was working. Did she ever set Lauren up with a breakfast of champions! It was so nice because we were just ahead of the rush, so Amanda could sit and visit a bit with us.

mmmm...check out all the whipped creme and sprinkles on her pancakes. Needless to say she dove right in! Special thank you to Amanda for the EXTRA NAPKINS!


After heading home for a quick bath (seriously...), we headed down to Chicago-land to see my BFF Beth and her husband David in Flossmoor. They are always coming up to Racine to be "honorary Hucks", and I thought Mom and Dad would enjoy seeing their house, etc. It was a beautiful day for a drive, and they have such a gorgeous home. It was a great visit. Lauren wanted to explore, explore, explore. Uncle David wanted to play, play, play-- she thought he was pretty fun!

Lauren discovered Beth's PURPLE yoga mat (a color she knows and loves to say: Per-pull). We were very impressed with her skillful "downward dog".


oh yeah...looking SWEEET! Aunt Beth models Lauren's hair bow. Yes, Bethers, my fingers WERE crossed when I told you I wouldn't post this pic. teehee..
