Family Photo Shoot

Since we were all together for Christmas, and we don't know when we will all be in one place at the same time again, we squeezed in a photo shoot. We had hoped that the newest Kapi (ok, ok, Schott) would be in the pictures, but he decided to stay put until 2016.

 Four generations.

This is not really from our photo shoot, but I love this picture of my dad. He loves being with the kids, or maybe he just still is a big kid.

Summer fun with cousins (and Grandpa!) 1

I never put any summer photos on the blog!! And we had such a great summer! Spending time in the USA made summer unforgettable! The kids got to know all their American cousins, finally.

First, but not last, ice cream of the trip

We got to eat out a lot.

Grandpa likes to buy us doughnuts.

Not sure who is bothering who.

Did I mention eating out?

You might not be able to see it, but that is a TV screen on the gas pump. 

You have got to be kidding me! I must be in America! 

On the road.

Last dinner with the Rojeks. (Mom's favorite place to eat.)

Teaching Lexi a song.

More food pictures!!!

Here are a few more pictures of our U.S.A trip!
It might look like all we did was eat!!! (That isn't too far from the truth.)

One of Grandpa's favorite steak houses. The waitresses all know him.

 Deep fried onions.

Can't be in the U.S. without eating at least one hamburger.

Being silly. 

One of my favorites: Charlie Parker's.

Who would think a place like this would have good food!

Sunday lunch with my Uncle Bob and friends

Favorite watering hole for hunters and hungry people.

Our Saturday in the U.S.

By Laura

Here are a few pictures and descriptions of our Saturday in the States!

We went to get a free car wash and breakfast on Saturday at Grandpa's car dealership.
(Only in America, right?)  Quite a line of cars waiting !!!

So since the wait was long, Mom and I decided to go see what interesting things there were in downtown Springfield.

Like the capital building!

 I liked this door handle.

We saw an old fire house and thought it was cool.

Cute church

Illinois State Library 

Old State Capitol

At the breakfast (served in the showroom) there were some Porsches. 

My younger brothers would have loved to see this one !!!

After breakfast, with the car nice and clean, we took a picture with the very funny and efficient workers.

Then we went to the Lincoln museum. It was really cool!

The Lincoln family. (and a couple intruders.)

Outside the museum we saw this building that used to be a train station.

On our way home we went to see Lincoln family home for 17 years in Springfield.

Also on the way home, the governor's mansion.

Stay tuned for more U.S.A. pictures !!! ;-)
