Andy had to fly to Australia once again for business so Megan had the three kids by herself. I thought I would drive to Peoria and help her out. Andy left last Friday but I couldn't leave until the following Tuesday! We had a wedding to attend Saturday night and I had to sit around here until Tuesday because I am on jury duty (grrrr) and had to call in Monday evening to see if there was a trial this week. There was not, so I left early Tuesday morning. I know it is my civic duty to have jury duty, but this is my third time and it really puts a damper on my short time in Iowa!
We left for the farm on Friday morning. Megan and the kids stayed about an hour and then took off for Andy's family reunion. Andy was to arrive that evening in Omaha. Sydney to Dallas was a 16 hour flight, I think. I cannot imagine being on a plane for that length of time! I am certain he suffered jet lag during the entire reunion! :-(
They are going to stop here today on their way home and drop off Drew and Kayley for a week's stay at the farm. I am really looking forward to that! We put up Pirate's Bay and it is ready for the two of them. The golf cart is all charged and the lawn mower filled with gas. It is going to be a non-stop week for grandma and grandpa!
I took a few pictures while in Peoria:
Drew and Kayley shuck the corn while Ryan photobombs them.
