The Gardenhire's Visit!

Jerrod, Marianne and Ethan came to visit us! We had so much fun!!!!



On Saturday we took the kids to an Easter egg hunt at Cosley Zoo, just minutes from our house. This was a new one for all of us Texans.....hunting Easter eggs in hats and gloves! It was pretty cold--somewhere in the upper 30's. After the egg hunt we came home, started a fire, had hot chocolate, watched soccer and played cards!

Marianne and I are attempting to keep warm while the kids hunt eggs!

This giant bean is located in Millennium Park in downtown Chicago. It's pretty neat. You can see the reflection of the whole city in it, as well as yourself. Parker took this picture for us.

We went ice skating at Millennium Park. Sunday was the last day of the season to skate!
We also took a little time to shop and look at the GREEN Chicago River. It was dyed on Saturday for the big St. Patrick's Day parade. We opted to venture into the city on Sunday when the extra 2 million people that watch the parade were at home!

Chicago is FUN....even in the cold! Come and see us!
