Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity, Jig

The Ripley Brothers went on tour this month. The Central Illinois tour took us to such places as Bloomington/Normal, Sunnyland, East Peoria, Peoria and Washburn. We squeezed as many people into our trip as possible and had a great time visiting. Vince and AJ did wonderful. By the end of the trip, Vince was quite comfortable walking into new places. He got friendly with people quicker and quicker and even jumped on a few laps unexpectedly. It's nice to be back in our own space, but Bloomington still feels like home. Here are some pics from the trip.

Dan's mom decorates the St. Francis Chapel so beautifully. I never realized before how much Vince looks like Abuelita!
