Hoosier State Fun!


Nancy and the kids


Last week we had the opportunity to visit Jeff's family in Indiana. We had a great time as usual spending time with his great family. The first couple of days we spent with Nancy and Rick. While we were there the kids rode bikes, did some crafts, played with their cousins Sydney and Jordan, and swam. They loved every minute. It was great to spend time relaxing with family and enjoying their great company. We also got to see Grandma Sara, Joanne, Michelle, Alex, Natalie, Jake, Jody, Marty, Lucille, Scotty and Jason. We always leave wishing we got to see them all more often. Probably the best way to really show everything we did is through pictures...here are a few! Thank goodness I meant to blog about this earlier this week, so my pictures from the trip were uploaded before I lost my camera yesterday. (see the post below)

Adison is another grandchild that loves the swing

Kendal was excited to be riding Sydney's big bike

This is how you keep a 10 month old happy after 7 hours in the car

The kids love the pool in Rising Sun

The babies are growing up

All of us at the pool...Jeff was out golfing with Marty

The last couple of days in Indiana we spent with Daryl, Terri, Erin, Grandpa Thornton, Grandma Thornton, Cheryl, Barry and Kelly. Once again the kids had a great time and wished they got to see everybody more often. The kids travelled pretty well both ways of the 8 hour ride to and from home. They watched lots of movies, ate lots of snacks, and rarely slept. It was a great trip and we hopefully will get to make another one up there during the holidays.

The kids loved playing with Champ

These pictures are priceless! Glad that you got some before losing your camera. I saw that you ordered your new one today. I guess it wasn't turned in at Alabama Adventures! Next time, no upside downs!
Love,
MOM G
I sick just thinking about it.

Glad you got these pictures for the family. I love seeing these little smiles anytime. Thanks for the great visit. We had a great time.

Sounds like a great trip. Glad you survived the long drive. I keep suckers on hand for long trips, too. Especially on airplanes. It's a great tool for mom sanity. :)
