The Parrillo Family

This weekend, we packed up the family and headed down to Champaign for the 2012 Fighting Illini Orange & Blue Spring Football game.  We were lucky enough to be able to bring Ellie's cousin Grant along for the game.  While it was raining for the game, we were able to sit in the Colonnades Club and had a roof over our head. In the second half, we also were able to join the rest of the Varsity "I" members and former football players to go down on the field and watch from up close. With a new head coach, I'm not sure how well my Illini will fare, but with this being Ellie's 3rd Illini game, I know I can't wait to bring her back this fall for another home game.

To kick off a weekend of Easter festivities, we went over to Wilder Park to participate in the Elmhurst All-City Egg Hunt.  There were a few hundred kids in two age groups.  We ended up grabbing a good spot and waited for the countdown.  When they hit the horn, little Eloise scrambled around and picked up a lot of eggs - 8 in total.  She had quite a bit of fun and it this hunt prepared her for the big one set for our house on Sunday.
