Visit to St. Rose

Yesterday was quite an adventure!  My father-in-law Tom grew up in St. Rose Illinois. Yesterday was the St. Rose annual festival, so all of us (including my in-laws and one of my stepsons cousins) took a day trip to attend.

It was a very enjoyable, relaxing day. We all took two cars down and had lunch at Wally's in Breese Illinois. Then we ventured over to Carlyle Lake to get out of the cars and walk a bit.

After Carlyle Lake, we went to St Rose to visit and remember family in the local cemetery. 💜💜  We then made our way to Tom's cousin's farm to see how the cows are milked. Now this was the real treat of the trip.  First time for everything, right?

I wasn't expecting this. 😂😂 But, in all honesty, I don't
know WHAT I was expecting!

The boys got a chance to try it.

They had another barn with calves
and barn kitties. 😺😺

What a fun experience! I know the boys really thought it was fun to see as well. 

We ventured over to the festival for a jam-packed, delicious, dinner and festival fun. 

Bingo to try to win quilts or money!

We stayed until sunset...
