Cantigny

On Saturday we spent the day at Cantigny park in Wheaton. We had never gone before and had a blast! It was only $5 to park and no admission fee. We love finding cheap entertainment!!









There were probably 10 tanks at the park that the kids LOVED climbing on! There is also a war museum that we took them through. We'll definitely be returning for a homes-school field trip when the kids get older.







The park is filled with many different beautiful gardens.













This was Glen's attempt at creative photography. Think we better stick with my sister Maddie for photos!



We had a little watermelon snack while we were there too.








Yum!!
Such a fun day!!

Corinne's Dance Recital

Here are a few photos and video from Corinne's latest dance recital. She did a great job, and really enjoyed her outfit. Her dance was called Fireflies, and the music is by Faith Hill.

No more training wheels!

Glen decided to do away with Corinne and Caleb's training wheels one afternoon several weeks ago. The kids LOVE that they can ride fast now and family bike rides are much more fun!

School

We've been having school at our house on Monday, Wednesday and Friday this year. Next year Caleb will be in kindergarten and Corinne 1st grade so we'll do school everyday. Caleb will be doing the My Father's World Curriculum and we haven't decided on Corinne's yet. We've chosen our top choices, but I'm going to the christian homeschool
convention in June and will be able to actually look at the material which will help us decide.




Caleb is getting good at reading 3 letter words! In this game I say a word, he finds it and parks his truck beside it.



Working on vowels.



Matching rhyming words.




Corinne is doing lots of reading these days!




And so is Cal (on the potti!)




We got an any hill and have had fun watching them makes tunnels.
We love our school time!

Fun outside!

We're loving The nice weather!












Calvin got himself stuck in the dolly stroller.




Corinne and Caleb love to eat lunch outside! Corinne pretends she is a waitress while Caleb orders. (and she always makes sure he uses manners!)






Cousin fun in the sand box.

Road trip...

We headed out for a road trip to MO several weeks ago to visit our good friends Jennifer and Todd.



While we were there we got to do an easter egg hunt....









Play at a fun park






Play with child sized sinks at an indoor Play place (Blake and Calvin probably played with these sinks for 20 minutes!)



We even got to have a night out without kids!!

We Also got to spend a morning with a good friend from college. It was so fun seeing Rachel and her two cute kiddos!





Making art at the children's museum.


We tried to get a picture of Calvin and Lazarus at the park, but Calvin did't want to sit!



They had so much fun together!

We had a great time on the trip! We feel blessed to have such great friends!
