Indy - Chris's Birthday and Children's Museum

This past weekend we went to visit Amy and Chris for Chris's 30th birthday party! We drove down Friday night and got into some construction traffic on 65, but finally got there around 12:30 (eastern time). Loren had fallen asleep about 20 minutes before we got there, and was VERY excited once we arrived!! We got all the beds figured out and Kaylynn went right back to sleep, but Loren was up until 4am!!! Yikes!!!

Saturday morning we went to a park by their house then got things ready for the party. Mom and dad got down there early afternoon. The girls took really good naps and were able to enjoy the party!!! Dad bbq'd and mom and I helped get food ready and out! It was nice to see/meet some of Amy and Chris's friends!

Again, Loren was up late (went to sleep around 2:30am). Sunday morning we went to the hotel mom and dad were staying at to go swimming!! We then went back to Amy's for lunch and mom and dad and Joe all left to go home (I stayed another day with the kids). The girls took a good nap then we just hung out, went to McDonald's and came back and went to bed. Although Loren still stayed up until 12:30am!!!

Monday morning Amy and I took the girls to the Indy Children's Museum! It was a lot of fun! Both the girls enjoyed playing with all the activities at each exhibit! It was a lot of fun despite some carousel drama (at first they wanted me to have to pay to ride with Kaylynn, who rode free, and we didn't have any more money, but luckily we got to ride)!! We could have stayed for hours!! But the lack of sleep was finally catching up to Loren and she got very crabby!!! Plus, we needed to get on the road back home!!

It was a very fun visit!!! We hope to be able to visit again soon!!!

Here are a few pictures from the museum:
