Spring Break, Part 1

Ahh, springtime in the midwest.

While Steve was hard at work in the Keys, Ben, Sidney and I took an extended visit to the Chicago area. One week turned into three but boy did we fill the days. Here are a few shots of some early highlights. I left most of the moment-capturing to the resident photographers, and will post as the pics trickle in.

When it snows in April, I know those around the Great Lakes are so over it. But my kids couldn't get enough. Here, they take a slide down a neighborhood hill that I used to sled on.
Cousin Ellen and Uncle Randy helped warm us up later.

Who says park playtime is reserved for summer weather??

Many thanks to everyone who dropped everything and jumped in to make our stay a blast -- as always! More soon...
