Going to Harvard

Our stay in Harvard, Ill., was just as great as you think staying somewhere named Harvard would be. As you can see above, we could not resist taking a picture with Harmilda, Harvard's famous cow. She used to be in the center of an intersection where three roads meet, but for some reason the fun-hating state Transportation Department said she had might be a hazard.

Here are some other photos from our fun time in Harvard:

It was fun staying with my Aunt Debbie and Uncle Russ. When I was a kid, I loved visiting their house in the summer. It's outside of town and full of all the things kids think are amazing - a fort, a zip line, the woods. It was fun seeing Mia exploring all of that. She especially enjoyed the swimming pool that my cousin Sarah's daughter, Madison, uses. Mia combined the pool with the kiddie golf set.

Mia also had fun playing in the fort. What did she have to do? You know it. Clean.
