Indiana


We were lucky enough to go with Adam's family to Indiana to visit his sister, Amy and her new baby Collin.
He's such a sweetheart! More about him and his blessing day in a bit...
Ollie, Kenzie and Elliott
The boys got to hang out with their cousin Kenzie too. They only see her a few times a year- so it's always a treat. She's such a funny girl. Ollie is just 6 months younger than her.
Adam was just excited to meet up with the infamous 4 point that Cody got a while back. The boys were so funny with this deer. They kept asking all sorts of questions, like, "Did it run when it saw Cody with his gun?" and "Why are his eyes so shiny?" (Elliott) and "What is that greasy stuff on the back of his neck?" (Ollie)
Amy took us to the children's museum in downtown Indianapolis- it was amazing! We only got to see part of it because we ran out of time and it was so big. I thought this was a cool glass sculpture.
We got to see the real Batmobile that they used in the movies. 

There was a lego section with huge sculptures on display- they were really cool. The kids could dress up in midevial (sp?) costumes too.

Here's the old carousel. We just barely bought Mary Poppins so we kept saying it was like the movie.


A huge locomotive.
We stopped by a little visitor's center downtown. It was so cold the whole time in Indiana and we heard it was super warm in Utah while we were gone...
Elliott and Grandpa with the state capital in the background.

What would a trip to Indiana be without a trip to the Indy 500 race track? The museum inside had the cars that have won and their trophies. The boys thought it was so cool.
Ollie wanted to pose by this car and made us take another picture.
This is the only one they could get in, and the steering wheel actually turned the wheels. Needless to say, we spent a while at this car. 


In our hotel room. It was so cute to see the boys in the same bed. And this explains Ollie's crazy hairdos every morning. He has some funny ones...

This is my friend, Lyndee who grew up in my neighborhood. Now she is in Amy's ward and they are good friends, and so are their girls. It's such a small world sometimes.
Cousins
Amy, Cody and Baby Collin
Cody's whole family came (including grandparents!!) and Amy's whole family except for one sister, Megs came. It was so fun! They had like 20 out of towners... 
Getting our baby practicing in... ;) Baby Collin is so sweet. He looks like a little doll. I loved to just hold him while he slept and he looked so different when his eyes were open too. He is almost two months old, but still so tiny!
Here's our tuckered out baby. (He'll be 3 this week- so it's funny that we still think he's a baby sometimes!)
Riding the buckin' bronco (Cody's bro, Ryan). Ollie would laugh so hard!
At the airport- ready to go home. The boys LOVED watching all the planes come and go. And ever since we've been home, Ollie has been carrying around his little planes. The boys were really good on both flights- so we told them they can come on a plane with us again someday. It was fun to see Ames and her family in Indiana. Thanks guys! We love you!

I love Ollie's little feet balancing on the window. That looks like a fun children's museum. How fun that you got to see Lyndee there too. I love seeing all the pictures of your travels. :)

Looks like a fun trip, Sini! I'm so excited for your little baby to come, I keep checking in on you to see if it's happened. Today is Edmond's birthday, so I was thinking about his delivery and how crazy it is to go into labor. The whole ordeal is such a miracle, I think. Good luck!
