This kid just is too funny sometimes! He was trying on my clothes and I had to snap this.
This kid just loves anything with wheel that go. Cars, Tractors, Semi-trucks, Motorcycles, etc. He really loved this huge tractor at Wagner Farms and he ran over to go touch it. He looks so small!
Oh look, another tractor at Wagner farms.
This tractor was at the Apple Hollar in WI. Fun time apple picking (which we actually didn't take any pictures of!)
Mom and Dad enjoyed the play too!
Oh yeah. The play was in a big tent. Pretty nice, with a boardwalk foyer and air conditioning. The AC could have been a bit cooler though. After the play we picked up Dakota and Pepper and eat dinner at Bakers Square. We'd never been there before, but it reminded Tharon of his days working at Frontier Pies. The food was great (the works burger was very yummy) and because it was Wednesday we got free pie!
Later that evening G & G put the kids to bed so that Alicia & Tharon could go watch the last Harry Potter. Thanks G & G. To our dismay, however, the room playing the movie was having "technical difficulties" and the audio was all messed up. So we ended up watching Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The night out was great. The movie . . . okay.
Museum fun. The kids loved the hands on exhibits and the idea center.
Grandpa stuck around long enough to make it into this photo and then was off . . . like a kid in a candy store. He was harder to keep track of than Dakota and Pepper. 
The pioneer Zephyr, stainless steel diesel train at the chi town museum of science and industry. The museum was huge, had amazing exhibits, and we will definitely go back for more!
Showing off the orthodontic clinic. This was my first year chair. 
G & G reading to Dakota. We already miss them!
G & G reading to Pepper on the last night of their visit.
Pepper looking a little confused about what she is suppose to do with the things that were in her easter basket. She is so precious.
Dakota went straight to trying to open up the candy. He ate way too much candy on Easter, so I hid it the next day. He only asked for it once, and I told him he ate it all. Which he did!
Pepper was napping while we colored the easter eggs. This was Dakota's first time, he really enjoyed it and ended up with blue fingers.
Dakota's second Easter egg hunt. Pepper was too small to participate. Glad we didn't try either. It was crazy! All those easter eggs were gone in less than 30 seconds!
Our 2010 family caricature drawing. 
The Chicago Auto Show. Tharon's favorite car!
Dakota and Bob the Builder at the Lego Factory. Dakota loved this place. 
Dakota exploring the river and all the creatures in it. 
Alicia shoveling the snow. And there was A LOT of it! That was my workout for the day! 
Wishing I was somewhere warm right now! 
Couldn't get out of our garage/alley for at least 3 days. It took them that long to come plow it. But there was still SO MUCH to shovel ourselves!
