The Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, we went to Illinois for a memorial service for Andy's grandfather. It was a beautiful day and we saw some interesting things on our trip.
Did you know that Casey, IL is home to several of the worlds largest things? Our first stop was the World's Largest Wind Chime. There was even bus parking for tour groups that fancied a stop. You could pull on a line to make the chimes sound. Even though the chimes looked pretty, they didn't sound pretty. Very low, dull sounding tones. We needed to change into "nice" clothes anyway.
That's right, I forced them all to pose for a picture.
Coming soon....right across the street from the wind chime.
While in the town of Hazel Dell, the boys got to play some kickball. We always travel with at least one ball in the car. Mostly because we forget to take it out after a game.
Kinley was on her kind-of-best behavior.
We saw some of our favorite people.
We also stopped to see the World's Largest Golf Tee. It was on the country club golf course in Casey. Not as big as I thought it would be. I guess compared to a normal size golf tee, this one is ginormous. It did have an observation deck you could climb up. 5 of us got out of the van to see this sight.
Cale is so strong! He can hold up the tee with his hand!
We saw some family and got to hang out. It was a lovely day and the kids got to play outside a lot. We left at 8pm local time and made it back to our house a little before midnight. To be sure, everyone was exhausted. But in a good way.
