Last Stops on the Way Home

Our cousins the Hucksteads also have 6 boys: here's the full dozen!

Had a great afternoon....yummy lunch, visit to the lake, coffee on the porch and lots of running:)

Homeschooling questions: What is a confessional booth? Is holy water from the drinking fountain?
Does that coffin really have a father in it? Are the chalices actually gold? 

"The Fighting Sullivans"  is one of our favorite true stories
(made into a film) about 5 brothers who fought and died together in WWII.
Loved visiting their museum.
Two of the Fighting Bowers, who found the only puddle
 left in Iowa since the drought
Thankfully...we did not actually stop.
They look so harmless:)
