Indiana

We spent a week back in Indiana over the 4th of July visiting everyone.  It was a great trip!  They are never long enough since I would like to spend quality time with everyone and still do some relaxing, if relaxing is even an option with two kids in tow!  Here are just a few random shots. 

Iris in vacation mode!

This picture is a little dark, but it cracks me up.  Iris has been doing this funny face on command!

Mom showing Iris and Eleanor some pictures. 

She loved this tractor and I love this picture! 

Miles riding Trish the pony at the Fort Wayne zoo.

This gargoyle (or cargill, as he was called) is a little whimsical and a little creepy, but very effective at keeping the kids from heading into the "down jungle"!

We had a campfire one night at Adam and Sarah's and smores were on the menu!  Iris was very into her marshmallows!

This is as close to a Dickey family photo as we got that week.  The kids loved being in the water.  Of course, on a hot, humid day in Indiana any sane person loves being in the water! 

I love this picture of Iris with Thomas and Will.  I didn't do much hanging out with my cousins when I was young.  In fact, I wouldn't recognize most of them if they were sitting here next to me.  My hope is that the cousins form a bond that lasts. 

Mom and Dad's new place is on a lake.  A 5 minute walk gets you to a dock.  We checked it out and Miles hunted for turtles.  He was obviously pretty excited about it.

So the girl who absolutely refuses to wear a hat really seems to love walking around with random pieces of clothing on her head.  Here she is sporting a pair of my hot Costco undies that she found in the suitcase!
