random spring break fun

We didn't visit any far away warm places for spring break, but we did create our own fun. The week actually flew by in a blur of playdates, library visits, shopping, and more playdates. By Thursday the kids actually began sleeping in :) On Friday afternoon Tim took off work so we decided to visit Meijer Gardens.

On Saturday we headed to Chicago to celebrate Easter. We visited Lincoln Park Zoo, and of course no trip downtown would be complete without me taking us the long way out. Austin wanted to pose with the crocodile.

The kids once again had a blast playing with their cousins.
I'm not sure why, but everytime we tried to get a picture with Stella and the twins, she would start screaming.Meet "Stubby"....he comes to the door every night between 6 & 7pm for his handful of peanuts. Slightly odd, but kind of cute.

Happy Easter!
