Emergency Expo and June photos

Spencer on a police motorcycle. He got to push all the loud buttons!

This life flight heli landed right in front of us at the parking lot where this was held. So cool!

Helmet boys-D has to do EVERYTHING that S does...total parrot!

The babies at the race..confined to the strollers.
This is D's friend, Brianna, they are 6 weeks apart in age.

The kids and their ribbons. They all decided to hold them with their chins.


The runner in action. The kids ran a 1/4 mile race and even got timed.
This event is sponsored by a local hospital in Peoria.
Kids ages 2-12 years all have their own race to run.
Everyone gets a ribbon, a cookie, and juice afterward.
It's a neat program. Great exercise, too.

Laura Wichael, Spencer, Bradley Wichael, and Lydia Wichael.
I've got my number and I'm ready to race!

Oh, the joys of summer!

A visit from Grandma and Grandpa to see Spencer's musical at church.

Great Grandma and Grandpa Dillow came, too.
