Rolly and Courtney take a road trip to Centralia, IL









My children, Channing, 3 and Kendall, 5 have had a great time with their new puppy friend. Rolly joined us on Wednesday, May 4. He traveled home with me to Du Quoin, IL and spent the evening outside playing on the swings, blowing bubbles, and riding along on a bicycle. He even went on a scooter ride with me through town! Rolly slept snugly with Kendall and Channing in their bunk beds that night. The next morning, we set out on a little road trip. We set out at 9 AM on Highway 51. The kids took turns holding Rolly on the way there. He was very spoiled and got lots of attention! We drove to Centralia, IL. I hoped to get a picture by Kaskaskia College, but the kiddos were tired of being in the car by this point. On our return back to Du Quoin, we stopped at a cemetery in Du Boise, IL, so I could make up the assignment I missed while I was sick. Rolly explored the tombstones with us. We found many war veterans that had been buried there! It was really interesting, and I'm glad Rolly could share the experience with us! This weekend, Rolly has kept us company at home. He enjoys watching SpongeBob, reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and playing baseball. We have really enjoyed having Rolly around!
