Visit With Bob and Cam and family

Hello Everyone,

It's been a full, busy visit with everyone the last few days.  It went by too fast.... yesterday we went to the Chicago Botanical Garden.  What an amazing place!  We explored many of the gardens and even went into the butterfly exhibit; amazing!  The colors and varieties and how they land on and all around you.  Ron had one of the large blue (common morho) butterflies land on him (check out his water bottle) and then Bob placed his hand there and held him for a while; very cool!  Then we went out to a wonderful dinner at a restaurant called Wildfire; fabulous steaks!!!; and of course great company and conversation spent with family.  Today we ran errands and I made a couple of apple pies for our delicious BBQ that cam made for dinner and my nieces Becca and Robyn came over for a nice visit which ended way too soon... We've organized and hook up the camper so we are all ready to pack up and leave first thing in the morning to head toward the Badlands.  We will be stopping in Minnesota tomorrow after a full day of driving... Time to relax and spend as much time visiting as I can before i have to say goodbye...
