February has gone by quickly. Jay and Jenny were ecstatic with the Green Bay victory in the Superbowl, and Jenny proudly wore her Packers sweatshirt to school the next day. She was thrilled when her teacher announced that anyone wearing a Green Bay Packers sweatshirt could lead the class into the gym for recess.
We also went to Grand Rapids to visit Jay's niece at Calvin. While in Grand Rapids we went to the Fredrik Meijer Gardens and walked through their nice (and warm) greenhouses. They have a butterfly "house" where we could watch the butterflies emerging from their cocoons. I'd never seen that before and it was pretty cool.
This past weekend we went on our somewhat annual trip to the Chicago Auto Show. We went with some friends and, as usual, we had a very good time. The ride back was filled with a lot of "If you had to buy a car right now, what would you buy?" Jay likes the Honda Pilot, I liked the Ford Explorer. However, we are not in the market to buy a new car, so we could spend our time looking at the cars we wish we could buy. Jay continues to dream of a corvette, and I continue to like the 7-series BMW. We also checked out vehicles for Dave and Shelly and came to the conclusion they should buy a big conversion van. On the negative side they get 12.5 miles/gallon, but they do have two gas tanks and plenty of room for everyone. :)
We are looking forward to a trip south later this spring. I'm getting antsy for some warm weather.
