We decided for the 4th this year we were going to take a family trip to downtown Indianapolis for a great weekend, something we have yet to attempt. After what I feel like was 2 days of non-stop packing and organizing the car was stuffed and we were off for our great adventure. Too bad the weather wanted no part of our plan.... as we were packing Friday morning my mom called with the grim news that Saturday was calling for thunderstorms all day. We hurried and made a change of plans to go to the zoo Friday instead of Saturday. The kids didn't nap in the car well but despite that still had a wonderful time at the zoo! Mason loved the "desert" area and was very into the snakes and Marlee loved the train ride and the aquarium! After our zoo experience we settled in at our downtown loft and then went on a stroll all over downtown. The kids were so well behaved! Marlee loves to people watch. Then back to the loft where Marlee retired for the evening and PF Changs for dinner for myself, Scott and Mason (who now loves garlic noodles!) Mason had a hard time sleeping so when we woke up to a gloomy day we decided on lunch and shoe shopping then packed up and headed home. The fireworks actually were cancelled so we made the right choice. Nona and Papaw came over for a 4th cook-in instead!! It was still fun but a whole lot of work for 24 hours!
Here is Marlee and mommy on the train ride. She bounced and laughed most of the way!
Daddy and Mason waiting for the train enjoying frozen lemonade!
Here is how we got around, I love this stroller!
Flashback for you... Here is Mason this year in the snake area.....
And just 1 year ago at his first trip to the zoo!! I can't believe it!
See you soon!
