Spring Break

The boys and I had a wonderful spring break. We enjoyed relaxed mornings and fun-filled afternoons at the Children's Museum, library, and parks.

We checked out the new Bob the Builder exhibit at the Children's Museum. Here are Cole, Bob, and Pilchard.

On Saturday, the boys' church/school hosted an Easter egg hunt. It was raining, so the event was held inside and was more of a gather than a hunt. Eggs galore filled the hallways! Cole (in navy) and his buddy, Ryan (in gray) grabbing eggs

Caden grabbed his fair share of eggs.

Happy with a full Easter basket!

After the Easter egg hunt, we ventured downtown to the NCAA Final Four Bracket Town. The convention center was filled with tons of different basketball exhibits. It was a very busy place, so very few pictures were taken.

Nana, the boys, and I left Curt and Papa downtown to enjoy the Final Four games, while we came home to watch an Easter cartoon and dye Easter eggs. Cole did not approve of the Easter cartoon, so he hung out upstairs and raided Papa's suitcase. Here is Cole sporting Papa's socks and showing his neverending support for the Illini.

Curt and Papa were lucky enough to experience the Final Four games and one of the most exciting championship games. For a few days, we became a family of Butler fans. Too bad that last shot didn't go in!
