Abbie visits South Holland, Illinois--Part One

We have been thoroughly enjoying our visit to Uncle Paul, Aunt Noi, and Grandma's house (MIL) in South Holland this week!  

Here's Abbie's getting spoiled in her souvenior sweater she got today. She's a happy camper and has enjoyed her days here visiting and experiencing many things!!!!

Brothers--BG and Paul. BG showing Paul his new knife......Pepsi is in the far right corner and is Paul and Noi's puppy.

She's sporting her new sweater, although the weather all week has been beautiful, really beautiful. Every day full of sunshine and low humidity, no clouds!

Abbie enjoyed a bit of table food and is now thoroughly spoiled because it's always, always good cooking here!!!

Monday, we drove into the city of Chicago, not far away and weather perfect for a day of shopping and looking at city life.

The boats on the beautiful blue water.

The land is so flat here!!!!  ;)
