We first rode around looking for a glade of daffodils. We placed John in the middle to see what would happen. Part of me was a bit nervous as I'm reasonably sure he has some sort of seasonal allergies (he's had a runny nose for the two spring times he's been alive). However, he was pretty facinated by things.
Mom and Dad were pretty happy to be out on such a nice day with their little guy.
After that, convinced that the little guy was hungry, we went to the visitor's center to pick him up some milk and let him eat. He wasn't very interested in eating, but gobbled down the milk like there was no tomorrow. After a quick change, we were off again.
We ended up doing the children's garden followed by a stoll along the lake. Then, we called it a day and headed up to Geneva thinking that we'd find something to do there. We ended up strolling along the Fox river, only to have our trail end way too soon. We turned around and walked up the main street, but realized it had gotten much hotter than expected and decided to make our way out of there.
We ended our family day out with a trip to Flossmoor Station. Tim and I attended a rehearsal dinner there the weekend before, but John and I left soon after as he wasn't happy. With a happier baby and some empty stomaches,we headed back. Tim and I followed our waiter's recommendation of the calimari and the fish and chips. John had a hamburger. Us older ones had some beer while John tried their delicious root beer (the one thing I was able to sample at the rehearsal before we left).

The portion sizes were amazing. They give you four breaded fish. I think the breading was corn bread and really added a unique flavor to it. John's miniburger from the kid's menu, well, let's just say there was nothing mini about it! And the wait staff was just amazing. Our waiter was especially mindful of our needs and the fact that we had a little one with us. It is definately a place we'd return to again.
