Oilfield IL

I honestly had no idea that there were oil fields in Illinois! Not only are there, but there is also a town called Oilfield, IL. We would have never known that had we stayed on the interstate. Sometimes it is fun to take the road less traveled. Of course, the girls were getting tired of having no service for their phones (at one time I actually had to pull out a paper map!) So the conversation in the car as we're on the back roads in the middle of all the corn fields in Illinois:
Natalie: How do people live out here with no cell service?
Kathy: They probably use satellite service.
Elizabeth: No they probably communicate with cows.
Natalie: So like 3 brown cows in the field means let's go to dinner!
See, they really do still have an imagination.
Of course Christina and I did our job entertaining them. Do you know how bizarre the end of the "I found a peanut" song really is. No spoilers here, look it up on you tube. But no matter what you find on you tube, it won't compare to the Kathy and Christina duet version. You just had to be there!Read more
