Today is the last day of Spring break. We didn't take a big vacation but we've had lots of fun and thankfully the weather has been pretty nice.
We kicked off the week in Champaign last Saturday to watch Bart run his 12th marathon! The boys have never experienced it before and so they thought it was kinda cool and kinda long (is Dad still running??). :) Bart did great. He got a little dehydrated and had some pretty bad leg cramps which he usually doesn't deal with but he always finishes with a great attitude (and always wants to run another one soon!).
The next stop was back home. We went to my parents for Easter and then stayed a few extra days. Nonnie making popcorn. A nightly ritual. With lots of butter says Quinn!
Drawing tractors with Gramps. John Deere of course.
Not far from my parents house is one of the US's biggest Diary Barns. So Bart and my dad took the kids on a tour.
Quinn milking a cow. Not a real one. He'd never get that close. :)
On our way home, we stopped at the Children's Museum. It's been years since we've been there and the kids thought it was great. Carson liked the two story free climber the best.
Kade and Cole painting. I'd like one of these at my house!
Finally home. The weather was gorgeous on Friday. The boys thought it had to be at least 80 and wondered why we weren't swimming. :)
And, major news which most of you know by now, Scott and Heidi are in Ethiopia!!!! She has emailed twice and said things are going well. Fisher is so content, happy all the time, and sleeping great. Zion requires a little more attention. :) They are so thankful to all be together and are anxious to come home. We'll meet them at the airport next week and you bet I'll have some pics to show. I can't wait! Oh and only 45 days till court, but who's counting. ;)
