Spring '99 Farm Trip took place over the Memorial Day Weekend. Jenn drove from Boston, Mom, Chuck and Family, Susan Elizabeth and Family, Brian and Family as well as Jeff's Family were all in attendance The Big Barn made for a nice sleeping quarters since the weather was great. Farm Reports were made. Exploring and learning were fun. Some of us visited Tamaroa, IL. We stomped on Grandma's stomping ground, visited the cemetery and Great Aunt Catherine.(Ask Jeff about Bonnie's Bath! email here ).   FARM PHOTOS

Fall Farm trip was Oct. 23, 24 and 25th. Jennifer drove there from her home with Artie. (officially a farm dog now!) Mom made it there for a couple extra days. Ashley drove down with Brian and his family. (We were squished!). Susan, Brian, Spencer, Christian and Nala spent extra days down there. Jeff and family were down on Saturday. The weather was pristine.

Spring Farm trip was June 11-15th. Dad and Mom brought Christian and Spencer down, and Chris got there on Saturday. Brian and Betty got there on Friday. David and Helen got there late Saturday. They were on their way to their new home in Texas. There was excitement over the Bulls games. Sunday night there was a large storm.

May 2nd Farm trip was cancelled due to rain and flooding. Elizabeth was nice enough to have a cookout anyway. Thanks for the great ribs

April 16-19 Betty took her sister Wendy and her family to the farm. Betty didn't quite know the way there and by 9:30pm everything looked like the road to the farm, especially when your brights on your car do not work. Brian made the trip to the farm on the Harley the next day. He took Rt 45 the whole way down. 

Susan Elizabeth and Brian went down to the farm the last weekend of Feb.  She took 4 kids and 3 dogs with her.  Fun was had by all.
