This year we were able to spend the entire holiday weekend with our family in Northern Indiana. Mike's aunt, uncle, grandma and cousins drive in from Wisconsin every year and it's fun to catch up and reconnect.
Izzy "fished" with Bobo using a Tin.ker Stinker pole...they left the pretend / plastic fish at the end of the line and it never failed; each time Izzy reeled in the line, she would say, "I caught one!" So funny.
Grandma Laura and Aunt Deb enjoying a virgin Pina
Mom & Bug also partaking in the drinks
We did a lot of swimming. All. Day. Long.
And we were able to see Laura & Madelyn which was a special treat, given I spent 36 hours in a conversion van with her last month. Learned that our 12 person team really was a 13 person team...so exciting!
The 3 littles...hard to believe Madelyn is 7 months younger than Laney!
We ventured out to the Ft. Wayne zoo early in the morning for cool temps and no crowds. It did not disappoint. It's ranked one of the top 10 in the country and we love it!
Izzy rode a pony, which she loved
Can you tell?
Peacocks run free at the zoo...you just never know when they'll pop up and surprise you!
Mike's personal fave: sea lions
Waiting in line for the train ride
Feeding the ducks...another activity Laney loves
Did some sun bathing in their new shaded chairs
Izzy & Grandma Great are two peas in a pod. They both enjoy an audience, dance and sing at a drop of a hat, and love to boss each other around. Was special to see how similar they are and the bond they share.
We spent today at Mike's mom's house
And enjoyed picnic a picnic lunch on the water and lots more swimming and sunning.
Happy 4th of July to everyone...we're listening to the fireworks as I type. Be safe & have fun!
