DAY #23 - Around Peoria today.....the adventure continues.

We went to Becky and David's Ward today.  It was Fast Sunday for them because of General Conference next weekend.  As always, dad and I sing in Finnish (when the hymns are in the Finnish Hymnbook.

Becky decided to take a foto of our Finnish Hymnbook that we have used for the past 8 years.....from 2008 to present and beyond.  A well used and loved book.

We attended a brand new FAMILY HISTORY CLASS in Becky and David's ward after Sacrament Meeting.  It is one of 20 stakes throughout the church doing this particular pilot program.  It proved to very helpful.  

All 'students' basically had a one-on-one teacher to directly help with their family search.  Here is the former Bishop helping Becky with our family lines.

As it turned out, we were able to trace our ancestry back to 630 B.C. on one of MY MOTHERS lines!!!!  WOW....and we have royalty in that line.  So, basically I can now be officially called 'QUEEN VICTORIA"!!

When we got home from church, the kids went right into action....building forts.  Look familiar?!

While the BIG PEOPLE went into action fixing food.....coleslaw and cornbread for dad and I and baked beans and brisket for Becky and David.

After lunch, it was NAP time.  Then more baking......homemade granola and chocolate chip cookies.

The cookies were shared with a number of people.  Including home teaching families David was making visits to tonight!

 And....so the adventure continues.  There is NO lack for activities and excitement and adventure for us every where we go on this 2016 road trip!!
