A break from Peoria!!

There are times that Ken just wants to get away from the hospital and Peoria. Luckily for him he had a few days off from his rotation, so he decided to take a break from Peoria and travel to visit his family in Cincinnati. We left Thursday morning for our little family trip.

We had a great time. Ken was able to hang out with his brothers and play the Nintendo Wii. He and Tressa had some daddy-daughter time. They went to the park or played outside in 60 degree weather. The weather there was gorgeous especially on Sunday.

Saturday, we celebrated Ken's mom's birthday. Ken's older brother, Darren, had bought Colleen a box of bacon chocolate for her birthday, so she decided to through herself a bacon party. Nothing but the taste of bacon in every bite. She made BLT dip with crackers, tato skins bacon and cheddar flavored, scalloped potatoes with bacon (of course), bacon biscuits and bacon tomato crescent rolls. With the star of the party the bacon chocolate. The chocolate was surprisingly okay if you like dark chocolate with the sweet and salty flavor of bacon. You didn't taste the bacon until the last moment. I guess you could say we had a first annual bacon party. We are looking forward to next year.

I hope you guys all had a great weekend. I know that Ken did and it was well needed for him.
