Weekend with the Kids!

Last weekend we met Paige and her family in Indianapolis. We chose the Hampton Inn on the north side of the city and it worked out really well for us. I normally hate staying in hotels and prefer to take my own little camper when we travel, but this place was new, clean, had a nice big pool area and a great breakfast bar. It was about 15 miles into the city. We all arrived on thursday and just sort of hung out and went out to eat and the kids went swimming. On Friday we went to the childrens museum. It was large and wonderful. It was really crowded but so large that it didn't really bother us. Paige had stayed behind in the hotel recovering from having her wisdom teeth cut out earlier in the week. It was so wonderful to watch how excited the kids were. Aaron was just jumping up and down. They had 2 featured exhibits: Dora the Explorer and Barbie!

They had a really cute ice cream shop for kids. Aaron is in the red shirt and Sarah in the stripped purple, with her daddy watching her every move. She is really quick and will just take off. Can't take your eyes off that one!

On Saturday we went back downtown to a percussion museum and the kids really enjoyed playing all the instruments. Aaron was a natural on the drums!

We left on Sunday and we went thru Cincinnati and met Drew and Lindsay at the Cracker Barrel for lunch and enjoyed some time with them.

Gene is off this week and is adding another deck onto the lake shack. He is doing a really good job! It will give us much more outdoor space and make the walk to the lake a little easier...although walking up hills is second nature to me, since I grew up in Harlan County!
