Indy Adventures #2

Here are the rest of the photos from our visit to Indiana.  These 2 outings were the ones with the best pics so bare with me, it was hard to narrow them down. :)

The Children's Museum

First things first, Paige and Kaelan going down the winter wonderland slide



Katrina with Wes and Mike with Max



"Grrrrr"

West and Max digging for dinosaur bones.  We all loved the little ones in their safety goggles!!!!

K playing nicely with Katrina and Trent's youngest, Addy (11 months)

"Cheeeeeeese!" (climbing out of a choo-choo)

I just loved the look on his face

"Peek-a-boo!"  He was a little grumpy on this day because he was getting an ear infection and was teething horribly, which is why he had his "woobie." 

He loved seeing the Rudolph from TV

Hugging his "catch" from ice fishing...such a proud boy!  :)

Another proud boy!!!!

He literally stayed at this water table for at least 30 minutes.  Finally I went to get him so he could enjoy the other activities in this area.

Max and Addy - 2 happy little ones!!!  He's almost a year older but more her size than Wes who is only a month older than he is.  :)

Helping Daddy build a tower

"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!"

"Thank goodness...cheese!"

Lafayette

We seriously had one of the best times EVER during this trip to Lafayette!!!  Melissa, Colin, and family were up from Florida for Christmas as well so we were able to get ALL the kids together for a night of fun.  It was SOOO incredibly fabulous for all of us to be together and to watch the kids interact and play together.  Since we won't have our AFT (annual friends' trip) this year because our #3 is on the way (more about this later), it was so important to us to have this time together.

Mike, Kaelan, Paige, Jack (Melissa & Colin's oldest), and Max all playing in Katrina & Trent's basement bounce house. 

Max giving Erin (Melissa's youngest) a kiss  :)

The boys!!!  Kaelan & Jack - and yes, we found out quickly that toy golf clubs and bounce houses DO NOT go together!!!!!  ;)

Poor Gracie had hurt her ankle the day before and couldn't walk on it.  Needless to say she did not enjoy herself nearly as much as the other kiddos.  I think the look on her face says it all...while Max is saying, "Don't you want to hold my hand?"

"Seriously, why are you putting me through this Mom!!!" - Grace
"I love you Gracie!!!" - Max

"Cheese!!!"  Nothing can bring him down when he's next to a pretty girl!!!  ;)

Grace, Paige, Jack, & Max posing

I just can't get enough of this fake, cheesy smile.  I usually don't like these because they look so fake (K used to have/has a horrible one), but his is just so darn cute and he's really just trying to be agreeable.  LOVE!!!!

The big boys got a work out pulling/running the little boys around in this wagon in the basement.  Clearly, it was worth it to see these faces and hear their giggles!!

That look says everything about how much fun we all had - while Mike is out of breath...haha!

A group shot of all 8 babies in their matching pajamas - Wes, Addy, Kaelan, Grace, Max, Paige, Jack, and Erin (from left to right).  P.S. Can you tell Dora was on in the background, which is why most of the kids are glued to the TV instead of looking at the cameras.  At least they were facing the right direction.  :)

Kaelan sitting on Trent's 4-wheeler.  He enjoyed his 1st (hopefully slow) ride with Mike just a few minutes earlier.
