April Activities

This last month has been pretty busy with lots of things, especially studying!  Here are some pictures of some place we have been this last month. 

I get into the Botanic Gardens for free because of my All State badge, so it's a great date for Jon and I to enjoy the outdoors, creation, and photography.  Jon has a lot of great pictures on his camera, maybe I'll get them someday...

If you can't tell by all the pictures from the gardens, I'm a huge fan of tulips.  There are so many varieties and we picked the perfect weekend to go (after Easter service) because so all of them were in full bloom.  

 Aren't tulips so happy?

 This makes me think of Holland.  Maybe we should move there, just for the tulips. :)

Jon and I also had the privilege to go to a Cubs/Brewers game close to my birthday.  We had a great connection with someone who has season tickets and our seats were wonderful.  Jon went to Wrigley two years ago, but I had not been yet.  It was such a weird experience compared to Miller Park, which is virtually all I know.  We took the train down, which was also a first for me, walked through the neighborhood, and all of a sudden pops up the stadium.  It really is smack dab in the middle of houses and businesses.  It was also fun to see the rooftop housing like I've seen in movies. 

Jon told me not to yell or cheer for the Brewers because, "We're in Chicago, they're mean and you could get hurt".  I did my best, but I had to clap!  The score was a little scary towards the middle, but by the end of the game, the Brewers picked up and won the game!  

We are definitely looking forward to some summer games at Miller Park; we love baseball season!
