Sat. Aug. 16th... Day 64

Happy birthday Nick!!! Today we went on a walk around Uncle Tom's property and saw all the cool lakes. We also saw his cabin which is in the middle of a renovation. Mom and I went back to school clothes shopping in Peoria while the boys went to Uncle Tom's cabin to put down the living room floor. It was a pretty exhausting day for both groups. Nick even caught a fish, it was pretty big. We did get Nick a cake. I got him a poker set, mom and dad got him a watch, and Uncle Tom got him a T-shirt. It was a fun little party.

Fri. Aug. 15th... Day 63

Today we made it to Uncle Tom's land and actually stayed in these beautiful cabins next door owned by the Walz. They were amazing!!!! There was a main room with a small kitchen, a table with four chairs, a couch, two double beds, and a stove. There was a sleeping porch in the back with two bunk beds that were really comfy.

Thu. Aug. 14th... Day 62

Today we went to see Martha, Betty and Dan's daughter. She and her son Joe live across town in a small bungalow. They were leaving for London soon so it was a little messy, but it wasn't that bad. It was really fun to meet them. After we visited them we left on our way to Uncle Tom's land in Illinois. We made it to Nebraska and spent the night in a rest stop.
