Happy Easter everyone!

Saturday morning we headed out bright and early for Indy. We got to see Grandma and Grandpa McLean, Aunts and Uncles, Cousins, and even Great-Grandma which was a huge surprise.

The kids had fun hunting eggs with their cousins and using their bunny bucks to buy cool stuff at the bunny store.

Sunday we did Easter with Grandma Chris. Kendra, Mrs. Meetz, and Mary Ann came up from Indy. Also joining us were Bobby, Josh, Allison, and her friend Matt. Dinner was great as usual, with lots of food and delectable desserts.

It was wonderful to see everyone.

Cookie Decorating Party

Saturday after the school Easter Egg Hunt we had over some of Meg's friends. We decorated easter cookies, made easter cards and played games in our neighbors backyard. The girls had a great time. Meg loved having her friends over.

Opa! Gotta love flaming cheese

Last night the family took out our neighbors Gene and Dale for a nice greek dinner at Costas in Oak Brook Terrace. The big thing a the greek restaurants in Chicago is the Saganaki. The kids practiced and were ready when the moment came to yell, "Opa!"
Meg wasn't a big fan of the cheese but Zach has found a new favorite.

Flying High Fun!

This weekend the fam went to the open gym at Flying high and got our tumble on. Everyone joined in so enjoy the video of Meg proudly showing off her back bends cross overs, Zach showing off how much of a little brother he is, Elizabeth just showing off, and Chris showing off his one trick.

Hiking Greene Valley Forest Preserve

What a fun weekend! Saturday night was the big auction for Saint Cletus. Our family helped a bit with decorating in the morning then after singing at 5pm mass mom and dad got all dolled up for the big event while Meg and Zach headed over to Gene and Dales for a sleep over.

Saturday after rolling out of bed we decided to take advantage of the beautiful day and take a hike. Meg read through 60 Hikes with in 60 miles of Chicago and picked Greene Valley Forest Preserve. She was excited to see the Red Tailed Hawks that nest there.

The trail was long but fun the kids took some pictures and video. We saw a horse on the trail and a marsh full of really loud frogs (there had to be thousands).

Hiking Lyman Woods

Sunday we headed out early to enjoy the beautiful weather. We hit Oakbrook before it got to crowded and then ate lunch and hiked Lyman Woods in Downers Grove.
