Home Again.....Again

We haven't been MIA instead we kicked off Greg's 10 day vacation with a trip to see Greg's Grandma Lorraine in West Lafayette, IN. We had a lovely three day trip to see her and we really enjoyed our time in Indiana. In three days, we spent time with Grandma, went to the Indianapolis Zoo, and went to Columbian Park in Lafayette. Grandma Lorraine loved getting to see the kiddos and we loved visiting with her. We'd start the day visiting with her and then we'd leave for a little to go to some places for the kids to play while she enjoyed some down time. Then we'd come back get take out and just hang out. It was so much fun! The kids and myself are so glad to have Greg home. He started his vacation on Friday and doesn't go back to work until Monday. Today we pretty much just veged around the house since we didn't get home until 1:15am last night. We have lots of fun and cleaning planned for this week but I'm not sure how much we'll actually get to do. We'll see how the week plays out. Hope you enjoy the first set of pictures.

Enjoying their tent and watching the Wiggles or Nemo or Curious George...I can't remember exactly when i took this picture. lol


Demonstrating his cheesy smile...the car ride was getting to him by this point in time.

Kickin off some steam while Mom and Dad unloaded the car

DAY 2: INDIANAPOLIS ZOO

Toby enjoying the play area

Yum, Chicken tenders

YAY, they had DOLPHINS!!! I was WAY more excited than the kids. Lili really enjoyed watching them swim by her.


I like to move it, move it! Every time I see a lemur I burst into song and dance. It makes for an interesting sight.

Liliana was playing Peek-a-boo with a Llama...she is TOO cute!

Elephant weightlighting

Liliana petting a rooster, Toby also petted the rooster then proceded to wash his hands for the upteenth time.

Toby exploring the encounters area. He especially loved the farm animals area.
