Sammie, Tyler and I went to Springfield on the Saturday before Father’s day so I could spend some time with my mom at the hospital and so we could take my dad out for Father’s day.
Thomas’ brother’s family lives in Springfield and it happened to be my nephew’s birthday weekend so the kids got to go hang with him for his birthday party too which was wonderful!
The only bad part of the trip was the flooding. Jacksonville exits out of town were all blocked but one and it took us through Beardstown which was about an hour out of our way to get to Springfield.
This was after traveling 2 hours to get to Jacksonville that morning with the kids. Needless to say they were pretty maxed out by the time we got to the dinner for my dad, but I got some good pictures of them anyway.
Actually- Jacksonville is on a boil order for their water and a possible water shortage because of the damage to the water plant during the flooding. It was so sad to drive by farmers on the side of the road just staring at their flooded fields.
My dad and 1/2 of his grandkids. This was taken earlier in the day at my aunt and uncles house.
Tyler and Parker causing mischief.
Three out of four Burnett grandchildren. Spencer stayed home with Dad. It’s hard to get a clear picture of “Parker Man” because he never stops moving!
Tyler has gotten into the habit of making this face when I take his picture. Parker had had enough!
We celebrated with Thomas before we left. Sammie had a great time picking out his presents.
Sammie couldn’t resist the batman undies.
We also found this fun t-shirt at Target. Who knew they had such cool stuff?
We got him a bowl of his fav. junk food too, but didn’t show Spencer. He still found it later and ate most of the chocolate. All well.
Pretty cute one of Thomas and the kids. Gizmo is trying to eat Spencer’s cereal bar I think! They love their dad so much.
Man there’s nothing like a picture of your family room to make you realize how cluttered it looks! We’ll just call it lived in.
