Mini Vacation

Mr. Crazy has been busy lately with a bunch of short jobs (1-3 weeks), so we decided to join him on his latest trip to Illinois.  It's a mini-vacation for the kiddoes and I (we brought along some language arts and math so no one falls behind but we're not working every day or for long).  Now we have one week down and one week to go, and we're all still enjoying our downtime.

We got a big rental SUV (seriously, I am in love with this vehicle-- I think we need one to keep!), and a beautiful suite at the hotel, and the kiddoes are spending a minimum of an hour in the pool almost every day.  We also spent some time at Starved Rock State Park this weekend; we were even able to sneak in a bit of extra fun science and history along with some major PE: they have some killer staircases along those trails!

So we are having a great time taking a break from the usual daily grind (and from blogging).  I'll leave you with a little sneak peak of our fun from this weekend:

Those little colorful specks hidden in the cliff face are my kiddoes.  They had so much fun climbing!
