Michael and I have always enjoyed road trips. That's probably a result of the countless Interstate 80 drives we made for almost two years when we dated in college! Most recently, we made a trip to visit Jason and Cassie in Lake Carroll, IL. Michael took off Friday, so we got there Friday evening and stayed until Sunday morning.
We had a blast visiting them and the time just flew by. We wish we could've stayed for another day or two at least. Here's Katelyn on our way there passing the time reading a book (we read lots of books during the 7 hour drive!)
Michael and Jason had been entertaining the idea of participating in a sprint triathlon being held in the area on that Saturday. On Friday night they decided to get up at the crack of dawn and get registered for it. I mean, who does that?! I, for one, would need months to train and prepare for such an endeavor and these two just crank it out like it's no big deal! Cassie and I were very impressed and had fun watching them cross the finish line. Way to go, guys!
Triathlete brothers :)
Triathlete wives :) It was a picture-perfect day with a nice breeze. So refreshing in fact that Katelyn snoozed the entire time in her stroller.
We're so proud of the Mlakar boys on a job well done!
Katelyn loves to stand - it's one of her favorite things to do!
We enjoyed an outdoor lunch at the golf course that Cassie and Jason live a block away from. The guys had to fuel up after the big tri earlier in the day! (But let's face it, we all fueled up :)
Hanging out with Uncle Jason.
Katelyn telling jokes. "So, a guy walks into a bar..."
Nom-nom-nom. Loving on her favorite dolly.
One last photo before heading back to Minnesota.
Thank you, Cassie and Jason, for a great weekend! We loved spending time with you and catching up. Katelyn especially loved all the fun, but I think she was a little confused by Malone's new look...
This, of course, is the lovely Sunny Mlakar!
(Check out how much she's changed from this post when Cassie and Jason first got her. She's a wonderful pup!)
