Our family joined many other Butlers in Chicago over Easter weekend - it was a blast!
We stayed at J&C's Thurs evening, then went to the hotel Fri and Sat evenings (Naperville Hyatt House) where everyone else was staying.
Swimming at the hotel, taking the train downtown, hanging out with cousins, meeting new babies, etc...
Hopefully the pics will tell the story.
