How’d you spend your spring break? In front of a TV or sleep­ing all day? While that is fun, you have to have a lit­tle adven­ture away from Big Rapids.

I went to Chicago for spring break to explore.

Can you say you’ve been in a mall three lev­els tall with over 300 stores? If the answer is no, you need to expe­ri­ence Woodfield Mall in Illinois. It’s one of the largest malls in America. The mall is very over­whelm­ing, but yet con­ve­nient with the vari­ety of stores. (more…)

To help keep all par­tic­i­pants warm, there was a fire and com­pli­men­tary hot choco­late. For a lit­tle fun, peo­ple could roast marsh­mal­lows for some s’mores. They also made a Harlem Shake video dur­ing the event, so make sure to look out for that. (more…)

We’re from Ohio, so excuse my brother’s Ohio State hat, and over win­ter break we received about a foot of snow, which was opti­mal for win­ter fun.
