Spring Break Trip in IL

A few weeks back we went to IL for Spring Break.  We had a great time, like always.  The kids have so much fun with their grandparents and cousins.  I love seeing everyone too.  The weather was pretty nice.  Here are a bunch of pictures.  I'll write about them in the captions. 

My kids always love walking on Grandpa's treadmill.  Molly walked 1/4 of a mile each time. Tyler walked 2 miles three days that we were there. 

Molly loved playing with Oreo.  One night when all the cousins spent the night, they made forts and kept Oreo up there with them.  That poor dog, you could tell he wanted out.

Tyler loves playing with all the cool toys at their house.

The boys can build with Lego's for hours

 

 

 The kids had a blast playing the game Pie Face.

 

On Sunday, we celebrated birthdays for Jan-April.

 

Monday, we visited my Grandma.  She played several songs for us on the organ.  It was fun to hear her play and the kids loved it.

 

Molly and Bailey both love their Uncle Tom.

Seeing the movie Zootopia

On the weather channel, Tyler saw the story about the Belvidere Tornado.  They showed this tornado statue at the high school, so Tyler wanted to go see the real thing while we were there.  

Tuesday, Molly and I drove into Chicago so she could see her friend, Briley. They had so much fun!  While we were there, Tyler stayed with my mom and they made wooden crafts with the saw.  

 

 

I was able to meet my friend, Elisa night for dinner.  We had a great time catching up.

Things I don't have pictures of were Grandpa taking the kids to the park, all the cousins making forts and playing outside, my dinner with Kim and our friend, Gayle.  We had a great time and look forward to seeing everyone again this summer at our house in TN.
