Grand Bear and Starved Rock

The Hoefer family went to Grand Bear Resort and Indoor Water Park this past weekend. All fifteen of us made it but not all were feeling as well as others. It was a fun weekend with family. As you can see from the pictures below, Sylvia loves the water. She enjoyed the baby pool and slide, wave pool, kid's slide, and the lazy river.











A few of us took a hike at Starved Rock State Park Saturday afternoon. Sylvia was taking a nap so I got to carry our nephew Carl.

We took Sylvia to the playground at the resort. She really enjoyed the slides. I think we will be frequenting the park this summer.




Dan and I headed to Ikea on Sunday to purchase some furniture for our house. Thankfully my parents took Sylvia back to Iowa City for us. She would not have enjoyed our five hours we spent at Ikea and the extra two hours in the car. We didn't make it home until after 10:00pm.
