Morton Arboretum

It wasn't exactly a spring-like day today but I had free passes for the tram ride at the Morton Arboretum....I have had them for the whole year...but since they expire tomorrow....we HAD to use them today. We were going to go on Friday afternoon....when the temperatures we in the upper 70's but it was a free day and we figured it would be really crowded. Turns out the driver of the tram said they had 19,000 people come thru the Arboretum on Friday. So we went today instead...and it was rather chilly....52 degrees.
Look who we ran in to at the park....Chloe and George Watson! They were on the ride with us.

The daffodils were in full bloom.

Then we had to go to lunch at Portillo's. People are always stopping to ask about the boys and if they are twins. They are definately a "show stopper".

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

John so generously gave us and Scott and Jill his White Sox tickets (he was going to the Blackhawks game). We drove in a downpour to get to the game. We left our house and it was 75 degrees outside. Two hours later it was at best...40 degrees. But we brought coats and gloves just in case...and John gave us extra coats and blankets. We were set!!

Got to have a Chicago hot dog at the ball park! And the White Sox won (and so did the Blackhawks... and Bulls and Cubs on Sunday). After the game there were fireworks! It was a lot of fun!
thanks John and Terry!




Just had to throw in this picture of Blake....he loves the swings at the park!
Isn't he CUTE!

Play Ball

Today was Tyler's first T-ball game of the season. We all enjoyed a day at the park.



Tyler....always smiling!

Die hard fans!



He could see better if his helmet didn't fall over his eyes.

But he still got good hits!


The girls being goofy when I asked them to smile for a picture.



More fans....Brian and Natalie

the rest of the cheering section....

Cubs and Bulls won too! A great day!

Spring Break

This past week was spring break for all the kids and Bruce and Tiffany and family came for some of the week. We spent a lot of time at the parks. You can see how much fun they all had just being together.
