Thanksgiving

   Last Thanksgiving Bo, Cassidy and their kids came to our house so it was our turn to go up there. Last year Cass was pregnant with Derrick so it was fair that I was so sick with this one. We drove the 8 hours up to Indy on Wednesday for a long weekend. We love being with them. I love that we are related so being together isn't intruding and we can stay as long as we want and still have a blast. We always spend way to much time playing cards and not enough time sleeping but it's so worth it. I have to give a shout out to Dave; he is AMAZING!! He kept the kids the W-H-O-L-E time. I didn't help cook, I didn't help clean, I didn't have to discipline, nothing. Dave made breakfast every morning for the kids and helped Cass with Thanksgiving dinner. He makes killer pies. He is so great, seriously BEST. MAN. EVER. OK back to our story. Cassidy and I headed to Walmart and Target after the kids were in bed that night, Black Friday Baby!! Can't miss that, we got some great deals and worked off our dinner. The day after Thanksgiving we went to the Children's Museum in Indy. They open their Christmas Exhibits on Black Friday and we wanted to check it out. I wish we lived there, that place is awesome! We could have been there for 2 days and not seen all of it.

     Dave, Sam and Logan. There are giant Dinosaurs outside that had there heads stuck in through the windows.

   Bumblebee.

   Sam, Logan, and My Uncle Kevin (Bo's Dad)

  In this Dinosaur part they had a simulated thunderstorm, it was really neat and so real it scared Logan.

   Logan dug for Dinosaur bones.

   Sam  dressed up tried to keep some eggs warm.

   Sam got to wear scuba gear and check out these underwater cannons.

     Logan did too.

   This was a room full of blown glass. There were plastic ones that the kids could create their own masterpieces.  Dave could have laid there all day. it really was neat.

   This blown glass sculpture was 4 stories high.

    This is the 2 story Christmas Slide. Logan and I. Zofran is amazing.

    Sam and Carter ice fishing.

   We built this arch thing out of foam blocks.

    Logan drove a bulldozer with his hands.


       The next day we went to one of the cool parks by their house. The kids needed to get out of the house and dispense some energy.

   Logan and Carter climbing a rock wall.

    Logan and Sam climbed this ropey thing. Dave climbed it too.

   Sam was able to swing his legs up and make himself hang upside down. He was so proud of himself.

                  Sam and Megan.

   Cassidy and me. We didn't take a lot of pictures, mostly because we stayed in our PJ's the whole time. We had such a great time, I love that they moved closer to us so we can see them more often.

On our way home we found Metropolis, the home of Superman. We had to stop and take a picture. There is a museum and all sorts of things to do there. It was Sunday, so it was all closed.
