July 10

I'll begin by noting that I stole this picture from Abby, as I wasn't with them when it was taken.

With that said, the kiddos piled into Abby's car this afternoon to go on a sibling bonding excursion. They started out at Yogurtland for some frozen treats, and then headed east to play mini golf and drive go-karts at Boomers.

Although there was a bit of resistance from the junior member of the group before they left the house, they all returned in a good mood. So I'd call it an excellent use of money. (Mine, since I offered to foot the bill.)

Sibling relationships are unique and special. I know things will be different after Isaac goes to Wheaton next month, so I'm grateful that they took some time for one another in the now.
