Our Trip to Indiana

Early October, the boys and I took a trip to Indiana to visit family. We drove down on a Wednesday because my cousin and his family were in town and I hadn't seen them in almost two years. The trip down went great. We drove the first 3 1/2 hours before stopping for a lunch break. Jonathan took a great nap, and Lincoln slept the whole way!

On wed, we were able to visit with my aunt Karyl, my cousin Christy and her new little girl Allie. Such a little cutie. The two babies together were adorable. This summer there was a total of 5 new babies on my dad's side of the family. It would have been neat to try to get a picture of them all together, but there was never a time when we were all there at the same time.

The majority of the time was spent playing with Natalie. She is 9 months older than Jonathan, and the two of them together was fun to watch!!

the favorite toy for the week: a "bug"

Ring around the rosie!

The boys got to spend some quality time with Great Grandpa Sand!

playing in the leaves!!!!

Smelling the flowers at Grandma's house!

This tree was one of our best memories at your grandparent's house. All of us use to climb it all the time. I got a quick picture of Jonathan sitting it. However, the tree is starting to die, so I don't know how much longer it will be there... sad thought!

It was a great trip!!!! Everyone was worried about me driving alone through Chicago, and overall it went fine. We started on the way home and the truck was acting funny, so we ended up turning around and
