Caving
Part I

We decided to take advantage of the clear weather! So we decided to go Caving!! Alan & I actually went Caving while we were dating. We haven't really had any opportunity's since then. And since the kids are at such a fun age... why not?! :) We traveled 36 Miles South of Dubuque. It seems so strange after miles and miles of farm land. :)

Drive Home...

We dropped off Aunty Mallory at the Madison Airport. We are always so bummed she has to go. Her trips seem to fly by.

DUNKIN' DONUTS!!!!!!!!!!!

While we were in Moline, IL we took advantage of a Dunkin' Donuts!!! Before in Utah we would stop every time we were in Las Vegas!! 5 Hour Dive then vs. 2 Hour Drive Now!!! Yay!!!

Naturally we had to get a Dozen & being real Culotta's we had to grab a Coolatta to help cool us down!!
We never get Doughnuts... So it is such a Treat for Brent & Savannah!!
I had My Favorite...
Powdered Doughnut with Chocolate Creme Filling!! Yum!!
(I was only a little excited.... haha.)
(Powder Lips!!)

Even Aunty Mallory was beyond THRILLED... :)

John Deere Pavilion

John Deere is HUGE out here. In fact, most of the people in Our Ward actually work for John Deere. 2 Hours South in Moline, IL is a working factory you can tour. (you have to be at least 13) You can also visit, The John Deere Pavilion. A Museum of all the different kinds of Tractors. The kids & Aunty Mallory LOVED every second of it.

Brenton & Savannah couldn't get over how BIG the Wheels were!!

We headed out to one of Our Favorite Places, Galena, IL.

& we enjoyed Ice Cream at a Old Fashion Ice Cream Parlor!
