Spring Outings and the Like

A while back, our neighborhood got a lot of rain very quickly and flooded.  Of course, we had to go out and survey the flooding/damage.  Albert and I got all snuggly for our walk.  Check out those little feet sticking out.
Here is the river that run through campus. It was flowing FAST.
And here is the view from the bridge.  It was just a couple of feet below the bridge.
Chewy.
Check out those cheeks!
Asher and Albert all ready for one our many bike rides. 
Addilyn and Elias getting ready too.
This was the view from our window for about a week this spring.  Our next door neighbor has a magnolia tree and it was gorgeous!
This is how we found Elias after a nap one afternoon. All I can say is, "Um...okay."
Last week, the Museum of Science and Industry had a free day.  We pulled Addilyn out of school, piled all the kids and a few friends in the van and headed down to the southside to check it out.  Here they were wandering through a big train engine.
Enjoying the view from up high.
Checking out the toy train display.  It is huge and awesome! They have a complete replica of downtown Chicago and then a whole room filled with scenes from Chicago to Seattle and everywhere in between.  We spent a lot of time in this area. 
They also have an storm exhibit.  Addilyn even got to be part of a demonstration about vorteces.  She got to stand in the middle of it which was pretty fun.
Aside from storms and trains, the kids got to learn about farms, planes, and even attended a class about poop.  Yay for science!
