Back to Indy!

For an extended Labor Day weekend we head to Indy.  Don hasn't met Cam yet!  We arrive Thursday night.



Friday morning Don and I take Cade to school. As Don heads to the Indy airport to fly to Washington, DC to meet his USA 3x3 teams April, Kasen, Cam and I head to the Children's Museum.  Playscape, a new area is open to members today.  Wow, what fun!





Friday afternoon and evening FUN!




Brent with his boys!
Saturday morning the Cherry family arrives (Dave, Robin, Andrew, Sarah, and Ryan) as they drove all night from Kansas.  What a fun family weekend - playing outside, swimming at the hotel pool, loving on the kids!

Aunt Sarah helping the boys with the silly string.



Brent and April at their new house.
The first floor was down to the studs.

T-ball or golf, anyone?

cousin Ryan heads back to Kansas on Monday.



Monday we have to say good-bye to the Cherry family, but papa gets back from DC.






A showing at the house sent us out to eat Tuesday evening
at Weber Grill.
Wednesday morning we take Cade to school then get in a little more play and cuddle time before driving home to Iowa.  We had planned to stay a few more days but we SOLD our house and bought another one while in Mexico and here.  We needed a week at home before heading out to our next trips.

Mexico


August 24 - 28.
Don was invited to participate in a basketball clinic for coaches in Leon/Guantaloupe Mexico.


View of the city from our hotel balcony.

Our hotel
It was the summer mansion for the president at one time.

Entrance to our hotel

Beautiful room with a brick ceiling and wide planked wood floor.

Steak dinner at our hotel the first night.

Nighttime view.

Another day of the basketball clinic and then an evening downtown.







Don with his drink recommended by Luis.
It was spicy with something like A1 steak sauce,
liquor of some kind and then beer added.

I went with the Margarita!
