A Visit to Indianapolis

Well this past week has been BUSY!!! Amy & her parents left early Thursday morning and headed to Indianapolis to visit her sister & brother-in-law. This was the first big car ride for Mia and she wasn't a big fan of it. She didn't cry but grunted most of the way. Ethan loved watching the DVD player. (The movie of choice was Spookley the Square Pumpkin)



Once we got there Ethan & Mia took a nap then we just hung out. Friday morning we went to Bounce Town. (A place that has blow up jumpy things) Ethan had a blast. He loved jumping and hopping around. He tried to play ski ball but didn't get the concept.



Friday night we headed to the Indianapolis Zoo for Zoo Boo. The entire Zoo was decorated to look "spooktacular". Of course we rode the train and merry go round but the biggest thrill was the ocean exhibit. There were huge salt water tanks full of sharks, jelly fish, and coral reefs. Ethan could have spent hours there! Next to the aquariums was a big "touch tank" where you could actually touch sharks. Ethan 's arms weren't quite long enough to touch the sharks yet, but he had fun trying!



After Steve got off work Friday he made the trek down to join us. He arrived at Scott & Sarah's at 2:00am but oops, we forgot to leave the door unlocked for him. He called us and was let in.



Saturday we went to Waterman's Farm to pick out pumpkins. Ethan picked out a pumpkin that looked like Larry from Veggie Tales. But what impressed him more was Tyranny, the pumpkin eating dinosaur. Mia was NOT a fan of Tyranny and cried every time he growled and ate his pumpkins. The kids played in the straw and we went through a corn maze and enjoyed the great weather.



Sunday we had breakfast and lunch before heading home. We are still unpacking but had a great visit! Sarah & Scott's house will never be the same! Each day we were there we "child-proofed" it accidentally. During our visit we managed to break a glass fish, a picture frame, get locked out of the house, and turn off their surround sound system. Let's just say that we gave them a good taste of what parent hood is and our visit will either make them want some kiddos or be good birth control:)

Stay tuned.....pictures to come
