Spring Break wrap-up

Because John's spring break and the kids' spring break did not match up, going anywhere was out of the question.  John's first week of any given semester is always crazy, trying to figure out which classes he is going to keep, schedule rearranging, book buying, finding groups to work with, etc. 

So for the kids' spring break stay-cation, we played lots of video games from the library when it was raining.  We also discovered and rediscovered some very fun board games like Clue and Pictureeka (called Chickoreeka by the kids because they couldn't remember what to yell when they finally found the picture they were looking for).  We painted pictures and watched a few movies and played with our neighbors.

Then when the sun finally decided to come out, we ventured to the Lincoln Park Zoo.  Johnny even got to come along and we had such a fun time.  Our hands-down favorite, was the polar bear.  He put on quite a show, swimming with his face right up to our glass window, and playing with his ball.  It was easy to forget he was a dangerous predator.
