February Fun!

We had some fun outings this month. We had a few school holidays, so we decided to make the most of the time off.  First, we met up with Don and Jack at Maggie Daley Park in Chicago. It's a giant outdoor park and playground that the kids really love! Next to that is Chicago's skating ribbon. We had fun ice skating, but had to dodge the puddles of melting ice!  The weather was gorgeous, no complaints - but just so strange to feel such warm temps in the middle of February. Afterwards, we went over to the old Sears Tower - now called Willis Tower, but that still sounds strange to Erik and me - and made our way to the skydeck at the top.  It's 108 floors up - what a view!  Later this month, we drove up to Blue Harbor in WI to spend a weekend at the water park/arcade.  The kids have come to really look forward to this annual trip now that we've done it a couple times.  It's a fun change of pace in the heart of winter. Looking forward to spring heading our way soon!
