Travis' 13 and Under team had a tournament in East Peoria this weekend. It was very, very humid and stormy. We only played 2 games and went 1-1. However, Parker and Jack got to spend tons of time in the hotel pool which is one of their favorite things to do. Several of the families were going to the "Burger Barge" and Parker was dying to go. It was a total dive and I wasn't loving the idea so Parker says, "Let's just go. It's probably one of those places with lots of stuff on the walls that we can look at so we won't get bored." He must have heard me say that a time or two. We did go and it was a dive and the food was wonderful! They have every kind of burger you can imagine. I had one with fried portabello mushrooms and some kind of spicy sauce. It was heavenly.
Our hotel was right next to the Par-A-Dice riverboat casino and Parker and Jack couldn't wrap their brains around the fact the cruise ship doesn't move. They wanted to go, but also couldn't understand how it is not entertainment for a 7 year old and 5 year old!
Anyway, in spite of the bad weather, we had a great time. We also met my dear friend, Maureen and her two little boys for lunch. Of course, I didn't take any pictures because I'm dumb that way. However, we are in agreement that the funnel cake fries at Maid-Rite are to die for!

Ooooh, I LOVE funnel cake!!! We sometimes order from the Schwan man and they have funnel cake like the ones you showed in your picture. Anything with powered sugar is heavenly in my book. ;)
Sounds like a great time.

The Burger Barge is the best!
