Godfrey, IL



Sunday, Sept. 24
Today was Godfrey day. We started out at Heritage Days on the Goshen Trail, an annual event held in Godfrey. All the vendors were in period costumes. Bella got to make a rope, and Jolina, Katia, Ed, Alex, and Alyona all got to fire a musket. Olivia, Sophia and I discovered kettle chips made right before our eyes, and we were enjoying our bag immensely when the rest of the family discovered us--so we had to go back for more.

We had lunch and headed over the corn maze. Brian and I decided that official T-shirts were in order. He asked if there might be a discount for “real Godfreys”, but the girl behind the counter just laughed. The little girls were most impressed with the ability to play in a big corn pit which we did while Brian made a run to the bank. Ed, Alex, and Alyona took a second turn through the maze while he went.
