Mexico 2011

Another great winter get away with the Wolff's. We were able to see sea turtles, whales, and dolphins. It was a great time and very relaxing!!

CHICAGO!!

We sure had fun in Chicago! We had tea at the Drake hotel, and we went to the Shedd Aquarium. This is the water water that is, I believe, a veteran's memorial. This is near the aquarium and the Chicago Stadium. All you sports folks will just have to get over the fact that I do not know the name of it! :) We went for the Americal Girl Doll Store and had a great time eating lunch in the cafe, shopping, buying, etc. We can't wait for the store in the MOA so that we can take the Zimmerman girls! I am sure Sophie would love it! We swam in the hotel, walk along Michigan Avenue. We got to see Lake Michigan from the top of our hotel (the 48th floor). All in all a great trip!

Nora

We went to the National Eagle Center in Wabasha. What a fun day. Long drive, but worth it. We all got our photos with the an eagle. They are four or five. We watch one eat a half of a rabbit. That was cool and gross all at the same time. They have binoculars, and long lenses to view eagles outside. Probably it was too much for the kids, but as adults it was very cool. They had fun learning stations for kids. Nora wasn't too brave, but McKayla agreed so Nora went along. I think she is glad that she did.

MEXICO

Wow! Fun in the sun! Warm, sunny, humid, breezy, relaxing, people watching, napping, wading in the ocean. All wonderful things! I so want to go back again sometime!! We didn't snorkel or anything. The first day we were lazy and getting used to no responsiblities. The following two days it was too breezy for being out on a boat, etc. We did have a massage on the beach which was great! Listening to the ocean for real as opposed to listening to it on tape was wonderful. Here are is a fun shot! Will update the bathroom project soon so keep watching!

Snowmobiling Trip

Rick just got home from a snowmobiling trip in Ely, MN. He went with Greg Schwarz. They had a good time. Only a few pictures. I decided to add one of Rick at least. The others are really not too exciting! :)
