Indianapolis, Indiana

Nick and I took this weekend to take a mini-vacation to Indianapolis. It was 3 days of non-stop fun.

First, on Thursday the boys had their Halloween Party at School

On Friday we went to the Fort Harrison State Park. Where we rode ponies, again. This time they were name "Magic" and "Cindy".

We also went on a hike through the woods.

 We then went to Connor Prairie a Smithsonian Museum that featured a Halloween themed fall event.

The boys enjoyed the haunted hayride complete with headless horseman.

In the morning we started our daay with biscuits and gravy!

Then spent the ENTIRE day at the Indianpolis Children's Museum. This place was so much fun. We enjoyed every moment of it!

 We wrapped up our trip with dinner at the Indianapolis Colts Restaurant. It was within walking distance of our hotel and the food was really good. The Ohio State game was on and the boys like that the walls were made of football leather.

This was our last trip as a family of four. Next time we hit the road there will be 5 of us!

Fall Fun 2011 - Part 1

We have had a really great fall. Here is a look back at some of the fun things we have done. 

 At Parky's Farm (Winton Woods) we learned about Honey Bees and rode on Ponies.

 Although Elder had a disappointing season we had a ton of fun going to 4 Elder Home Games.

 For the 3rd year in a row we went to the Pumpkin Festival at Minges Farm

 This year Nicholas and Jack were big enough to participate in the games....and Daddy too.

 Jack won a blue ribbon for the Cow Chip Throwing Contest. Way to go Rooster!

 Another, farm means another chance to ride horses. Which we did.

 Of course we picked out pumpkins too!
