We went for a little ride that explained how Jelly Belly's started and how they are made. We HAD to wear the hats
We got to see some awesome art work all made from Jelly Belly's!
And of course, got to taste some...these were our favorites!
YUM!!!!!They had an awesome car that Kelly wants to drive in a few years!
Then, it was off on the really long part of the drive...here's Abbey's view point of the ride...Bored...so let's do our hair!
And take fun pictures...
Here's what we saw in Illinois...
We saw a beautiful sunset...and still drove...we got home at 11:30p.m. and almost everyone slept until 10 this morning. A fun time was had by all!
We played a round of 3-D mini golf which was really fun!
And went on tons of rides. There were a few body rides and a lot of tube rides.
There was a lazy river in one part. We met our friends-the Breukinks at the hotel-we had adjoining rooms so we ate dinner together and watched MSU lose together. 
There were a lot of water falls and toys and slides and fun!
Here are the adventure riders...they just got off the Hurricane!
We walked around the hotel and they kept stopping here...the candy store...who can resist all these beautiful colors. Everything is so shining..it's just begging you to come in and taste...we made a few purchases here!
And the ultimate Lazer Tag battle...Adults vs. Kids...
Even though I took all these pictures so I really wasn't a contributor to the game...
and Kim
But we all had lots of fun!!!
We had a quick breakfast and then I took everyone on the tour. We went to my old grade school--it used to be Milwaukee Christian--even though we were in Brookfield but they have changed the name--and expanded the building and got a new mascot! We got a tour of the new school from the principal who is an uncle to one the girls I went to school with. His niece is Sue Brasser--or Sue B. as I know her! He said he also knew Sue T., whose husband is principal in Oostburg, and now he's met me so he's seen all three of the Sue's-who he called legendary! (I guess it is quite unusual to have 3 Sues in a class of 8-10 kids who went to school together from K-8th grade and then on to high school together!)
My brother Dan had this car parked next to the house while he was on his bike trip around the U.S. which took about 2 years (with a break of a few months for him to work so he could buy another bike after his was stolen.) I had quite a few kids ask me if I lived in the house with the Zebra car.
Abbey loves it! She hasn't done much drawing lately. She's been busy with school projects. She had to make a Valentine's box and she wanted to paper mache so she made a Mr. Potato Head box. She won first prize (her friend Heather who looks just like her won Grand Prize!) Check out her blog to see us blowing up Mr. Potato Head--www.abbeysnewz.blogspot.com
JENNY
She brought no-bake cookies (or Amy cookies as we call them) for snack and when she got home, we invited the neighbors over for cupcakes.
Then we went out to Red Robin for dinner and then out to see Monster's vs Aliens. She's still quoting lines from the movie. She had a fun day...and she's already planning next year!!!
Today was Girl Scout day at the Women's MSU basketball game. Here are a few girls from Jenny's troup--all the ones with the snowcones. There are 13 in the troop and here are 5. It was a fun day!
