Indiana Trip

At the end of July, we took a trip to Indiana to visit our family. We really enjoyed our time seeing everyone. Here are some highlights of the trip.

Here we are having fun in my parents backyard. We enjoyed just relaxing and watching the kids. My parents have done such a nice job landscaping back there and Mom's flowers look great.


Tyler and I took a trip to Chicago with my parents and brother Chris. We had fun going to the zoo and taking the architectural boat tour down the river. The second day we were there, Amy and her family joined us for a trip to the aquarium.


We also spent an afternoon at Potato Creek with friends and family. We went for a walk and bike ride on the trails and had a picnic in the park. It was a nice change for us to be around all of the "GREEN" trees and grass.


For part of our vacation, we spent some time up at the lake with Gary and Dianne. We had fun playing in the water and on the boat. Tyler went for his first tube ride behind the boat which was a much calmer ride than when the dads went out on the tubes! I think we had a few sore daddies after all of the flipped tubes and crashes in the lily pads. Tyler also got to play in the sand for the first time which was NOT his favorite thing to do. Poor kid just does not like to get his hands dirty! That's okay, I'm sure before long his daddy and grandpa will take care of that problem once they get him out working in the garage.


Of course while we were in Michigan, we had to check out Grandpa's car and go to a little car show :-)


A fun time was had by all and we look forward to going back soon!
