Good Friday was a holiday for Case, so we decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather by going to the Denver Zoo. I think that Spring is finally here! We had a snowy February and March, so we were all ready for the warm day.

Ella loved all of the animals and insisted on bringing a lot of them home.

We drove to Wisconsin the first weekend in April in order to attend my sister's baby shower. It was a long trip .. especially since both kids ended up being quite ill. Adlai threw up every time I attempted to feed him solid food and Ella was vomitting on the drive there. It was well worth it, though. The kids loved being around their aunts and uncles (and Grandma and Grandpa). We saw a lot of family that we haven't seen in a long time .. including my almost 92-year-old grandma!

Adlai at the hotel on the way home. He was very, very sick at this point - can you tell? I struggled with whether to take him to the doctor since this is how he looked most of the time through the bug that he had.
