We had a great time on vacation. We left a day earlier than planned and headed to the Quad Cities. We went to the zoo and spent close to four hours there. They have a lot more features and animals than the zoo in Peoria. We were able to feed some birds nectar, they kids thought it was great how the birds would land on you. We saw a baby monkey playing with it's parents. The kids enjoyed all the animals and the train ride. After the zoo we headed north to Maquoketa to visit Bonnie and Jerald since we hadn't seen them all winter. Bonnie spoiled us with fresh homemade donuts and chocolate chip bars. We always eat too much when we're there. We had a great visit. On Monday we went to Burlington, IA. We went to the waterpark, go kart track, arcade, and bowling. The kids had a great time. Kyra didn't think much of the water at first but by the last day she loved it. Valynn was able to go down the big tube slide with Mark. I think the two of the would have spent most of the day there. It was too cold for the outdoor waterpark to be open, so maybe next time. Valynn and Mason were able to drive their own go karts. We made sure to drive down Snake Alley, it's the crookedest street in the world. We also had to try to tackle their 28" pizza (we ate half). The kids thought it was great to watch TV until 11:00 at night and sleep in the next day. The kids can't wait to go again. We have a busy weekend coming up so I'll be posting more pictures later.
