Mammie's Birthday Weekend

We spent last weekend back in Rockford in honor of Mammie's birthday. We had a full schedule, not only filled with family celebrations, but lots of adventures as well.


We spent some time in downtown Rockford Saturday morning checking out the Harvest Festival. As we were walking by the river Lauren noticed this statue of President Lincoln, called him a "silly guy" and then climbed up right next to him.

On Sunday morning, after a birthday breakfast celebration for Mammie we all headed to the apple orchard. Lauren loved playing in the corn crib. It was like a sand box, but filled with cord kernels. She loved using the shovels and filling other containers with these kernels. In fact, she want back time and time again.

Taking a little break in the wagon. We couldn't believe it when we looked back and Lauren had arranged her feet this way!

  1. I still crack up every time I think about Lauren sitting in the wagon like that!
