For a few of my summers, I would visit my 2nd cousins in southern Illinois. It was a trip I would take with my Grandpa (my dad's dad). It was a fun trip, it was just the two of us. I can't remember how long it took to drive - a few hours at least. Then we would spend a few days visiting his sister and her children. I enjoyed going from house to house and meeting all my 2nd cousins. But my favorite place to visit was Joann & Bill's because they had a daughter Laura that I loved loved loved to play with! I could never wait to visit their house and I'm sure I drove my Grandpa crazy with asking when will we visit Laura :) It's funny we were both horse crazy. She now lives on a ranch and rides every day. I can't remember how old I was in this photo - junior high maybe. Laura had 2 older brothers, 1 younger brother and 2 younger sisters. Big family! Her baby sister was always sleeping, and whenever we would play in the house, the famous words from Joann were: Be quite the baby is sleeping. :)
