More Family Togetherness!!

 A few weeks later, we welcomed Matt's folks (Ken & Connie) to the house for a few days.  They moved from IL to Oregon soon after Matt & I were married.  The kids don't get to see them very often, so they were super excited to see them over Spring Break!  Due to the cold weather (and the snow still on the ground in places!), we weren't able to get outside and play...but we did enjoy our time together.  Many evenings were spent at home, relaxing and enjoying each other's company.

Will showing off his Lego creation and Katie putting together a loom bracelet.

 We hit Whitey's Ice Cream a few times (including a backstage tour from one of the owners!), ate out a lot and laughed even more!

We ended our time together by heading to Chicago (where Ken & Connie were heading after our house) to spend a day at Legoland. It was Spring Break, so it was Extremely busy!  After waiting over an hour to get in, we were able to enjoy a miniature Lego display of downtown Chicago.  It was amazing!

 The jungle display was also nicely done. 

 But the favorite was the Star Wars room!

 I think the 4D movie was everyone's favorite activity.  We wished the movie had been longer!

 While waiting in line for the movie, a little boy (4 or 5 years old) came up to Ken and shyly asked, "Are you Santa Claus?".  It was so cute!  Of course, when we saw the Lego Santa, we knew we had to get a picture of Grandpa Santa!

 We left Legoland and headed to dinner at Popeye's Chicken (a Hart favorite) and gave our hugs/kisses goodbye.  We even asked a nice gentleman to take our family's picture...however, he didn't understand English and thought we were asking him to be in the picture with us, so he and his wife joined us in the picture!  Too funny!  It gave us a good laugh.

We were sad to say goodbye.  We had a fun time reconnecting with Grandma & Grandpa!  We made lots of memories together though - until next time!
