Sunday, July 27 continued<\/p>\n
\n
We came up to the Schaumburg airport from the east. The runway is in the middle of an urban area surrounded by tall trees and buildings.\u00a0 At the east end of the runway is a water tower you have to make sure you miss as you come in to land!<\/p>\n
\n
Berck put the plane on the ground, and we got ourselves and our stuff out of the plane while listening to the dustup blaring from the hanger.\u00a0 Berck expressed misgivings about how short the runway was in terms of taking off in the morning.<\/p>\n
\n
We all went to the bathroom and went outside to wait for cousin Danny, who drove up in a minivan right after we came outside.\u00a0 Danny is one of Great Aunt Marilyn’s three sons. Marilyn is Gramma Diane’s sister (Uncle Stacy’s mother).\u00a0 He drove us back to his house, and we dropped off our stuff, put a load in the wash, since Berck and I were out of clean\u00a0 clothes, and had a glass of ice tea.<\/p>\n
\n
Danny drove us and his daughter Amy (Berck’s second cousin) over to Great Aunt Marylin’s house, a block away, where his brother Larry was picking her up.\u00a0 This was the first time Berck had met his Great Aunt, although she had sent him birthday cards for years when he was a kid.<\/p>\n \n \n![\"IMG_3119\"](\"https:\/\/nachzen.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/IMG_3119.jpg\")
