Spring Time Indeed!

It was 76 degrees yesterday in the Quad Cities! It was such a nice sunny, warm day! Today's high is only supposed to be in the 60's due to some rain we are getting later today, but 60's is better than 20's any day! Spring has finally sprung in the QC!
Hope all is well!

Spring Break

It has been a little while since I have posted. It seems like we have been busy, but I can't really tell you what we have been doing.
Our Spring Break trip was great! We did a little Midwest touring. First, we started in Chicago where Landon and Laurel and I went shopping for my birthday while Kyle was in meetings. We went to the Lego store for Landon, and there happened to be a Hello Kitty store next door for Laurel. The next day we went to Medieval Times on Sunday night. For those of you who don't know...This is a castle that is a dinner and show theatre. There were Knights on horses fighting, and we got to eat dinner with our hands!
Next on the tour was the Jelly Belly factory just south of Milwaukee, WI. This was a short, sweet stop on the tour. Our next stop was Lambeau Field in Green Bay, WI. Landon was really excited. He has become a huge Green Bay fan! The history of this team is very interesting. The city still owns the team! That night we we stayed at a hotel with an indoor waterpark in Green Bay. Mom and Dad enjoyed the down time as much as the kids!
The next day we headed to Bloomington, MN. This is where the Mall of America is located. That night, we somehow got free tickets to the Minnesota Timberwolves Basketball game. And we had so much fun. Landon was ecstatic. And Laurel was excited to meet the dancers. (We weren't really sure who to root for since they were playing Memphis, but we ultimately decided to go for Minneapolis, and they won in the last 2 minutes!)
The last two days of the trip we hit the Mall of America! And we needed 2 days to do it all. It is huge! It took us that long to ride the all the rides and to just walk the entire mall. (This is not a good place to go for a serious shopper...it is just too big!)
After the MOA, we headed to Cedar Falls to Lance and Jen's for Easter. Big Pop and Meme came up too. After a visit to see the Easter Bunny on Saturday evening, we woke on Easter morning to...SNOW, what else! We had a really good weekend and visit with the Family. We were not ready to head back to work on Monday.

Here are some pictures of the trip and Easter morning.
