Spring Break Daddy style!

Since I would be home during Spring Break, Sarah took advantage of the opportunity to get away for a few days with her mom and they flew to Santa Fe. While they were away, the kiddos and I tried to create our own Spring Break adventures back here in the midwest...

No, Bryn was not driving the four-wheeler out at Pickhardt's cabin. They did get a chance to ride on it (notice their bike helmets) and we went VERY slowly.

Here's Mr. Pickhardt making them hot chocolate on the woodstove.

Here we are after we helped load the four-wheeler with firewood.

Henry sharing his carrots during lunch after they stacked more wood on the pile (kind of).

Watching Mr. Pik put up a new Blue Bird house on a fence post.

The next day we headed to Chicago, where Henry got to spend a while staring at his recent obsession...jellyfish. We spent the morning at the Shedd Aquarium, and then pretty much spent the afternoon running around, then napping in Grant Park.

After a short break back at the hotel we wandered down to Millenium Park where we met Sandra, Eliot, Maya and Josie who were also in Chicago for the day. We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out (and taking pictures) at the "Mirror Bean" and the faces waterfall/fountain things...it's kinda tought to explain of you've never been there.

We finished the day off with some deep-dish Chicago pizza, where Henry almost feel asleep in the booth. Little guy was really spent after all the walking. The next morning we headed home to check on the chickens, who were ready to officialy move out into their coop. We'll post more pics of that and of Easter weekend with Jen, Shawn, Mia and Allison, and Grandpa and Grandma A in a day or two.
