A Wonderful Day with the Heinisch Children



 When Doug and I decided to come down this weekend, we had three items on our to-do list that we really wanted to accomplish.  The first was to bring Meg her CRV which we did last night.  She was excited to drive it back to her apartment.  The second goal was to help Brett purchase a new car.  He had gotten a lot of use out of the Civic, but was ready for something newer, a little bit bigger and with air conditioning that actually worked.   He and Doug were able to check that off our list this morning as Brett found a 2016 CR-V that he really liked.  They were able to take it for a test drive, work out the financing and have it all wrapped up before Brett had to be at work at 1:30.

Thankfully, Cal tested negative for COVID and made the trip down to Bloomington last night.  He was excited to announce that he "had USA flowing through his blood."  This allowed us to take care of the last priority on our list which was to finally take Cal's graduation pictures.  I had brought down his cap and gown that had been tucked away since early May in the hope that we would one day get to take his pictures in it on campus.  It was a little anti-climatic for him, but he was more than happy to meet us and pose by the wishing well.  The back drop made for some wonderful pictures and Cameron was available to take a picture of all three of us which I really appreciated.

Since we accomplished everything that we needed to before 1 p.m. we had the rest of the day to enjoy with our family.  We went shopping for some family favorite Wii games to play at Brett's.  We ate lunch at Oliver Winery with Cameron, Hannah-Marie and Cal.  We walked up and down Kirkwood and through IU with Cameron and Meg.  We saw three deer while on campus and also did a little shopping buying Ticket to Ride Japan/Italy and a new sweatshirt for Cam.  We ate dinner on Kirkwood at Cafe Pizzeria.  It was a little cool outside, but we were the only patrons, so we didn't have to worry about social distancing. We brought Brett back a personal pizza and enjoyed playing our new game with he and Cam.  Overall, it was an awesome day with the Heinisch children.  Looking forward to another one tomorrow.
