We used to be so good about trying to get down to U of I at least once a year to visit our old stomping grounds. I guess having three kids makes that tradition a hard one to keep up with! This year, however, we finally got the chance to head down there for a day and it was such a wonderful overnight getaway.

It was so sweet to share this weekend with our kiddos. Caleb was especially interested in knowing all about what life is like on a college campus and had tons of questions. He is now fully sold on becoming an Illini one day like Daddy and Mommy. We are thrilled, but will most definitely need to start playing the lottery!!!
