Took our first trip this year that wasn't to someones driveway. We went back to Sunset Lakes Resort (Hillsdale, IL). We like it cause it's a fairly close drive and it has all our favorite amenities. We took the boys canoeing for the first time. Brian and I loved this part. Plus we saw two bald eagles, one of which caught a fish in front of us. We were also able to check out some ducks, loons, turtles and frogs. We point out a lot of creatures to the boys. Most of the time they don't see them or they aren't as impressed as we think they should be.
Also did some swimming in the pool. (If and when I feel confident enough to wear a bikini, this is the pool I will wear it to.) Went on the tractor ride and played mini golf. Neil is pretty enthusiastic about golf, but its a sport with a ball so why wouldn't he. Ben also liked the video game arcade.
Our camping neighbors happened to be from Plainfield, so we spent an evening at their campfire getting to know them. Nice people.
Finally I would share some photos, but they didn't turn out well. The camera got wet and had to spend a day drying out and as much as I LOVE my iPhone the pictures it takes aren't as good as our camera.
