Illinois

Dava and Ghan and boys are moving to Thailand, permanently! It's been their plan for years and it's finally happened. Ghan is from Thailand and his family is there. It's much cheaper to live there so off they have gone. We've been wanting to get back to Illinois to see her before she left and we finally did it. Airfare has been ridiculously expensive but it wasn't going to get cheaper and time was running out so last weekend we met up with Dava and her family at Don's dad's house.

The kids had so much fun playing in the lake. It was hot and the water was perfect. Or so they said, I didn't get in.

Don's Aunts and cousins came. Even his Uncle John and Aunt Donna came from Idaho. I always laugh that the only time the Utah and Idaho relatives see each other is in Illinois.

No, they are not praying or peeing they are checking out the fireplace they are turning to gas.

We went to a gay magic show on Pride street in Chicago. That was different.
