Weekend with Friends

Last weekend, the Baima family visited for three days. The boys were super excited for their first sleep over with friends. We had such a fun time together and cannot wait to see them again, whether it is in Indy or Springfield.

We spent our first full day together at the zoo after breakfast at Flap Jack's. I borrowed this first photo from Kate. I'm not sure what was so funny, but obviously Caden found it hilarious.

It is really hard to get four excited kids in the same photo. Here are their backs while they watch the penguins swim.
Ethan, Olivia, and Caden feeding the ducks and watching the lemurs
Seeing how tall they are compared to the different types of ponies and horses
Caden riding Scarlet
Cole went on his first pony ride. He took a turn on Ginger with my supervision.

It has been an extremely cool July for the most part. The kids still insisted on some time at the splash park. Here are Caden, Cole, and Ethan trying to warm up.

Day two took us to the Children's Museum. I borrowed this photo from Kate too. Here are the kids posing with Jabba the Hutt and Ventress in the Star Wars area.
Ethan and Cole putting on a dinosaur puppet show. I think Olivia and Caden might be kneeling down in the spirit of a real puppet show, but the little guys didn't follow along with that suggestion.
Caden was so happy to spend some time with Olivia. Caden and Olivia taking a break at the ice cream shop.

Cole is following in his brother's footsteps with a love of Legos. Right now, he has fun building "Wipeout" (yes, the TV show) courses.
We had a fun weekend showing the Baima family two of our favorite Indy attractions. Thanks for making the trip!

We can't wait to come again. With more cake in tow! And Starbucks in the morning is a must to keep up with the 6 other crazy people ;)
