Summer Vacation

            This summer we went to Libertyville, Illinois to see relatives and to go to Six Flags Great America.
The first evening we were there we had a fire in the backyard, and we had s'mores.
                        

 McCance, Cora, Matthew, and I getting the fire ready.

 McCance and Cora tearing bark for kindling.

 McCance breaking shims for kindling.

 The wood starting to burn.

 Finally a beautiful fire.

 Mom watching the fire.

 Cora getting some chocolate.

 " Yummy s'more," says Cora.

Me--watching the fire.

 Two days later Cora, Kathy, and Mom made cupcakes.


Cora adding sprinkles to the cupcakes.

Cora straightening the flags.
 
Jonathan teasing Cora.

On the 4th we walked to the nearby sports complex.

Some dry wildflowers near the trail.

 This is part a part of the trail that goes through some trees.

 The end of the tree tunnel.

McCance and I on the Metra track.

 While we were there a train came so we took some photos.
 
 At first we thought it was a freight train, but we realized it wasn't when it came closer.

It was a commuter train, the Metra.

And there's the end.
