Princeton Trip

July 9, 2006 - We got up really early to hit the road. Actually I got up at the same time but we got out of the house earlier than usual. My Grandma Frazee, Great Aunt Marilyn, Mommy and I headed north to Princeton, Il to Cub baseball county. Yikes. I had to face it sometime; I have some family up in that area.
We first went to my Great Grandma Anderson's house. It is a great big house and Mommy says she has lots of memories there. My Great Grandpa died a couple of years ago. I wish I would have been able to meet him but I can't wait to hear stories about him. Great Grandma is trying to sell the house and move to a smaller place. Anyone interested?? No, well I thought I would try.
I entertained them all until it was time to go to a park to see more people I am related to. My Great Grandpa was one of eight children. My Grandma had 24 first cousins, which are now married have children and some grandchildren. I am told that every year we get together in the summer and for Thanksgiving. So we went to the park and I met a lot of people I am related to. Please don't ask me to name them, though. I will just call them my cousins and I think I will be safe.
Before going home we had dinner in Chatham with my Great Aunt Carolyn and her family. Daddy met us there. By this time I was hot, tired and cranky. My Daddy and Mommy took turns walking with me. Then Great Uncle Rollo walked around with me. He also was singing to me. I calmed down enough for everyone to hold me. Sometimes I just need to de-stress for a while then I am okay.
