WINDY SAIL!!!!!

This was one of my favorite parts of our weekend - We always love to get out on the water when we are on a trip - the ocean or in Chicago- Lake Michigan! It was a pretty cold trip - but they gave us "half off the fare and blankets in case ya het cold"!! it was a fun trip - the city is an amazing view from out on the Lake! Mark even got to raise the sails for the trip! :) (Usually they get little kids to do it, but nobody would subject a child to being that cold that day!) :) This was a great 2 hours! :)

Walk around Lake Michigan

We had the most fun just walking around by the Lake.... You just never tire of looking at the water! A little chilly - but so pretty! this was taken right near Shedd....

Shedd Aquarium

Shedd is a great aquiarium - with lots to see and a good dolphin show! This is always my first reason to go someplace like this! I still really wish Mark would let me have a dolphin as a pet here!!!! Or at least a PENGUIN!!!!!! :)

EGG HUNT!

The kids love the Easter egg hunt - likely because of the 112 eggs Grandma and Grandpa hid for them - some number of them hold CASH! :) They ran all over our house finding all the eggs - found all but one! By the way, guys, Mark found that one in the Family Room (basement room) about an hour ago! He THINKS he gets to keep the cash! (Jane - you gotta get it from him) :)

Yes, we had to have the egg hunt inside as we still have alot of snow up here!! :)

They had a great time! It was a great day! We all had a fun day celebrating the Resurrection of Christ!! We remember today that all we are is because He ROSE! on Easter Morning!

Happy Easter!!!!
