We had Spring Break 2 weeks ago, so we decided to get out of town and have a mini vacation. We pricelined the Marriott for $50 a night instead of £50. It's a much better deal!(funny story) Anyway, we stayed up there for 4 days and did a bunch of different things. Went to Fritz's to have the train bring us food, ate ice cream at Sheridan's, went to Kaleidoscope, went to Crayola, visited the Wizard of Oz, Union Station to watch a 3D movie on the 51/2 story screen, and of course, shopped. We owned the pool at the hotel and even had most of the cousins come by to swim with us. It was a great time full of good memories.

We wanted to get out of town a few weeks ago, so we decided to head down to Wichita and visit Exploration Place since we hadn't been there for a while. We had so much fun and there were some cool new things to do.



Hunting...Sort of



I took the kids out right before the pheasant season finished because we finally had some cold weather. They were so excited to go, but the excitement quickly faded as soon as we got out. It was a bit cold and they didn't realize they'd actually have to walk through the grass that was as tall as them. Well, after playing on the frozen creek and rescuing frogs under the ice, we decided to go home. Although we didn't see anything, we had a good time and made good memories.

A couple of months ago, we headed over to my captains house to shoot some skeet. We had a bunch of fun. We need to do it again soon so Susan can get a bit more practice with the handgun!
