Easter Weekend 2009
Jeremy and I spent our 2009 Easter weekend with The Lawrence's in Ottawa, IL.
We met at a half way point near Starved Rock for hiking, picnics, wineries and pubs!
Saturday we pulled a few lawn chairs up to the pavilions encrusted in dirt and began the picnic.
We nibbled on some cheese and crackers, drank a few champagne mixers and attempted a game of Koosh Ball.
Following the picnic we opted out of a hike due to the flooding that recently occurred and ventured on into the town of Utica.
We hit the Illinois Winery first.
Although there were a few decent wines the server didn't know what Sauvignon Blanc was which caused us a bit of a fright.
Following a few hot flashes at the bar we jumped back into the car and headed up the street. (It was a toasty little winery)
We had a few photo ops and stopped for a couple of apps at the local pub!
This is where we always find ourselves on Saturday afternoon with the Lawrences.
It is by far one of our favorite "regular" occurrences.
After an afternoon of the ladies drinking the day away it was time to head back to the hotel.
Erin and I put on the suits and went swimming with Lily while the guys went across the street to the local pub.
Lily had so much fun splashing around in the chlorine bath water!
By the time we got back to the room it was 8:30pm and we were awaiting the men to cook dinner.
Im not quite sure what happened over at Shakers Lounge but we seemed to have been neglected that evening.
Boys will be boys! ;)
We all ended up getting a full night sleep and awoke to an Easter Egg Hunt!
Jeremy and I went a little over board and "hid" 40 eggs for 1 little girl! I am sure she had a great time though!
It was a great weekend and we look forward to many more!!!
Thank you Lawrence Family!!!

Nikki's Bridal Shower
Jeremy and I spent last weekend with my brother and his wife. We enjoyed a couple of movies, few cocktails and great conversation. it makes me so happy to be spending time with the family since it is so limited!
On Saturday Jeremy and I parted for a few hours on a road trip to Peoria for Nikki and Rick's Bridal shower. We had such a great time. Jer slipped away with Mike to the local watering hole while I was able to enjoy some giggling and gossip with the girls!
This next weekend we will be heading to Starved Rock with The Lawrence's! It will be a fun filled weekend of hiking, wineries, swimming and Easter egg hunting! We are definitely looking forward to it!
