Well, our first full weekend in Indiana was jam packed with fun. Grandpa McLaughlin came to visit and with 6 people in a 2 bedroom apartment we knew we would get very stir crazy if we didn't find lots to do outside. That, in addition to the fact that our apartment pots and pans are really not big enough to cook for a large family, meant eating out almost every meal. We had burgers and subs and sandwiches. We tried out a few different restaurants in town, all of which were pretty wonderful and we will be returning to.
Saturday, we went to the famous Children's Museum of Indianapolis. I have been told by many people that this a must see and well worth the membership. So, of course we wanted to see it right away. And it did not disappoint. The Richmond museum that we have been going to for years probably would take up about 1/4 of one floor of this museum, and this museum has 4 floors! The boys especially liked the dinosaur and Dora and Diego exhibits and the fun play area. Logan also loved getting to walk and play around in the toddler play areas, he had a huge smile on his face the whole time.

Sunday, we ventured out again to the Monon Center, which is like a YMCA on steroids as Dennis likes to call it. It has a water park, zero entry pools and even a lazy river. We had a ton of fun. Logan of course was happy the whole time in the water. Colin was upset that he was a couple inches shy of being able to do the big water slides, but he was able to sneak on to the diving board. He jumped twice and his bravery shocked me! It is amazing how comfortable he is in the water now!
Well, when we weren't eating and checking out the big attractions here, the boys were keeping Grandpa busy with games, especially go fish and some drawing too. Logan seems to be fascinated with crayons, I wonder if he is going to end up liking drawing as much as his big brothers. Anyway, it was a fun filled weekend and we are very excited about all that our new home has to offer!
