Easter in Indy

We flew to Indianapolis Wednesday afternoon and stayed until Monday.  Those five days with Brent, April, Cade and Kasen went by so fast.

Cade and Papa shooting some hoops.

Brent and April had a meeting Friday morning so
we got to do Easter projects with the boys.
Painting birdhouses.

Painting styofoam balls to be caterpillars.

The finished project - a caterpillar.

A morning at the Indy zoo.
The butterfly house was full of all kinds of butterflies.

Cade trying a one-leg stand like the flamingoes.

We were fascinated by the penguins.


EASTER!
Early church, Easter brunch, and naps.  Brent and Don went to the basketball regional final game.  The rest of us enjoyed the nicer weather at the park.

Easter brunch.

The sunny and warmer weather sent us to a
neighborhood park on Easter afternoon.







Monday morning and time to fly home!  We had a wonderful time celebrating Easter with Brent, April, Cade and Kasen.   LOVE our time together!

March Madness!

What is March with basketball?  We spent part of a week in Des Moines at the boys' state tournament.  Then the next week we went to Chicago for the Big Ten Tournament.  Go Hawkeyes!  Both events were fun even when I took a book or iPad to the games.  We enjoyed eating out in both locations.  Chicago was a bit crazy over the weekend with St. Patrick's Day celebrations.
