We met up with an old friend of mine from high school. This is Melissa and her sweetheart Jason in 1992 for Junior Prom!

Now here we all are with our families! Here is the funniest part though. Just a few years ago Jason started doing ancestry research. He stumbled upon a familiar name and we determined that our great-great-grandfathers were brothers. So Jason is my 3rd cousin! This was a family reunion!

We had time for a nice dinner together but they were on a whirlwind tour of AZ and then back to IL!

Trevor’s first baby tooth is coming out! He got super brave and tried to fire it out with a Nerf gun!

It is actually very hard to get a line tied on to a tooth with enough strength for a pull so that didn’t work. It came out with fingers instead.

First hole!

Meanwhile, Brendan created this special hat that he says is a mind reading brain scanner!

We heard of a police dog competition and wanted to check it out. They put the want-to-be police dogs through obstacle courses, crime simulations, and challenges. It is entertaining! Many of the dogs did NOT want to listen.

The dog had to be carried for a stretch of the race as part of the challenge.

Training dummy Trevor!

Also, let it be known that “The Floss” craze is no longer cool with the older kids but the younger crowd is keeping the party going!
