Happy... spring?

Spring begins today, not that you could tell at this morning's Easter egg hunt. Did Santa sub for the Easter Bunny? Wasn't it 65° yesterday?



You can hear the wind in the video, and the parents looked appropriately chilly—I was (conveniently) at boot camp—but the kids still found plenty of pleasure in searching for eggs in the snow.
A bit of Ellie's loot. I'm sure Will was still busy scouring Gilbert Park for more.
Will's friend Eliot's dad bravely took on the boys in a snowball fight. Will tells me the boys won.
May they always be this oblivious to the cruelty of Chicago's winters.
I mean, springs. :P
