Fall 2007

These pictures are from a couple activities we did this Fall.  The first set was from when Jean and the boys traveled to near Brazil, Indiana, to visit the Exotic Feline Rescue Center.  They create homes for neglected and abandoned large cats.  They provide tours of the facility to enable visitors to experience them up close.

The next set of pictures were from the Great Train Expo at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.  The boys love to go each year and check out all the train displays.
