The highlight of the visit for everyone was the surprise Grandma Newman had planned - horseback riding for the kids. Abby could not have been more excited. We kept the surprise from her until the very last minute. The horseback riding was at a family ranch, and in order to get there, you had to turn down a country road that had mile-high corn on either side. As we were getting close, I asked Abby what she thought we were doing and she seriously said, "Picking corn?". Which actually wasn't a bad guess given we were in central IL, home of corn detasseling! Anyway, all the kids had a great time riding the horses and have asked many times to go back!
We also celebrated everyone's birthdays while we were there. Lots of presents and cake and celebrating.....and of course we went to the park and pool a few times as well. It was hard to say good-bye to Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Trish and Uncle Tim, but hopefully we'll see them all again soon!
Enjoy the pictures!
