As soon as David finished school we dove into summer by jetting off to Fort Wayne, Indiana to visit his parents who moved there recently from California. We all miss them terribly already, so we were excited to get the opportunity to visit them and see their new home. Here are some snapshots of our journey...
Abigail made friends with our seat neighbor on the airplane and climbed in her lap by the end of the flight... thank you Lord for a gracious neighbor!
We hit up many different parks during our time in Indiana...
Abigail enjoyed the frozen custard at Culver's... I think she had it three times while we were there :) With my love of ice cream, I guess there's no surprise here...
Our friends the Geliske family drove down from Michigan to join us for a day at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo. We had a blast with them and it was so fun to see Abby and Kyle interact as they are only 4 days apart.
Abigail had two up close interactions with animals... first she got to feed the giraffe some lettuce, then a goat tried to eat her hair in the petting zoo. Poor thing was traumatized from it, I think, as she brings it up at least once a day (she points to her head with a scowl on her face and says "goat, bite, owie!" )
We also got to experience some interesting weather with both high heat (100+) and some intense thunderstorms that knocked out trees and power all around town (luckily not ours though). This pool (which Abby referred to as her boat) kept her cool on those hot days!
David and Kelly (his mom) also took Abigail to a butterfly exhibit at the botanical gardens
We had a great visit, ate lots of yummy food, and shared some wonderful experiences together on our first trip to Indiana. Kelly and Doug were so gracious in allowing us to take over their space for the week and didn't even complain when she woke them up early every morning. They even endured two 3 hour car rides to and from the airport with us. Thank you Kelly and Doug! We love you guys and can't wait til our next visit!
