Fun and Games

Just a quick post--we're getting ready to go to Illinois, but I wanted to post some photos before we leave.

Check out this fabulous Chutes and Ladders game I found for $2.50 at the antique store. It's from '56 and has really great graphics.

Galoshes, boxers and mud. What a fine outfit!

Now why have *I* never thought of mopping in roller skates?!

We got a DVD player to use in the car and wow, is it ever a hit!

We took Riley to see his favorite movie, Willy Wonka, at the Alabama Theater. Can you imagine a better introduction to seeing movies on the big screen? You can see the humidity hanging in the air--it's definitely summer in the deep south.

The Alabama Theater is a grand old 'movie palace' from the 20's.
It's absolutely gorgeous inside and out.

This modest little room is the antechamber outside the restrooms. Wow!
