Springtime with the Markers

Wow...we've been having some good times lately. Ellie celebrated her fifth birthday in early April at a Build-a-Bear birthday party with her girlfriends. Bo decided to tag along for the fun and that was a good call because the cupcakes were pretty tasty.

Then, we made a trip to Chicago with the Webers. The kids hit the Children's Museum, the Shedd Aquarium and Rainforest Cafe. When Dad got off work, we had a great dinner at the Athenian Room too. Yum.

When June rolled around, we loaded up the family truckster and headed east to see Aunt Wilma and Uncle Billy on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We had lots of good times at the beach and in the pool. But, the highlight was a fishing trip in Uncle Billy's new boat. Bo and Ellie were both able to reel a few fish in and we were able to eat some of the Spanish Mackerel we caught.

Spring sure was fun. Here are a few pictures. We can't wait for summer.
