Eric's Graduation

We headed to Illinois on Wednesday, December 18th for Eric's graduation.  We spent 3 nights in a hotel and the kids had fun eating in the hotel and swimming in the hotel.  We swam about an hour each night and they loved it (and it made them sleep well at night).  Eric met up with some former colleagues to do some work on Thursday and Friday.  The kids and I met up with a few friends and spent some time relaxing.  I went out with a group of friends one night- it was great to catch up with old friends.  Friday night, we had some friends come and swim and then we ordered pizza.  My mom, Donna, Coco, and Eric's parents came Friday night for the Saturday morning graduation.  The ceremony was at 10:00, we dropped Julia off with some friends because I don't think she would have tolerated the ceremony very well.   We went to the ceremony and the kids did pretty well.  Our friends dropped Julia off so we could get some pictures with her.  We ate a quick lunch at McDonalds because the weather was getting bad.  Then we headed back to Iowa.
