Spring Break Vacay!!

For Andy's Spring Break we headed over to Bloomington, IN to visit my sister, Megan and her family. As always we had tons of fun together!

One of the days we took the kids swimming, we swam for a really long time, we all looked like extra old prunes by the time we were done!! My favorite part though was sending the kids back to the house with the Dads while Megan and I stayed in the pool to exercise. Megan let me borrow her hydro-fit gear and she taught me some hydro-fit moves. It was way hard, but way fun!!! My Mom and Dad, who are faithful hydro-fitters, would be so proud!!

Another day we went to the Indianapolis Zoo. It was perfect timing because it was still the off season so it was cheaper to get in and hardly anybody was there.

We got to watch a cool Dolphin Show.

Looking up at the Dolphins.

Grayer, Maggie, and Eva checking out the fish. That long green thing at the top is an eel!

Petting the sharks. Grayer wouldn't dare touch so he just watched.

Looking at the Penguins -- wish they weren't so stinky!

This is Grayer's "I'm gonna getcha" stance. I don't know why he was
doing it but I'm glad I caught it on camera cause it's cute!


"Polar Bear, Polar Bear what do you see?"

We played at the zoo playground before getting back in the car to head home.
Can ya tell Grayer was excited!?

Kisses from Dad after falling down.

Eating Pretzels with cousin Eva.


One afternoon we went to the Wonder Lab. We had been before but at that time Grayer was not quite old enough to do much. This time around he did everything that he could and thoroughly enjoyed himself!!

Playing at the water table.
We had to pry him away from this when it was time to leave.


Giant Bubble.


Grayer loved this fish tank because there was a "Nemo" fish and a "Dory" fish.
Of course "Nemo" swam away right as I took the picture.


We had a great Spring Break! Unfortunately, Spring Break doesn't last forever and is now being followed by some of the busiest weeks yet for Andy this semester. The Opera is coming up which means lots of late night rehearsals -boo:(

Oh and before I forget, on our drive home we stopped for some Graeters Ice Cream. Grayer was thrilled to get his very own cone!! YUMMY!!

Hi Gilchrist's
Thanks Sue for posting some cute pictures of spring break. I am glad you had this time together. It makes me feel good as a parent when my children want to spend time with each other. Thanks for your efforts in doing so. Love Mom
ps give Grayer a big hug he is growing up way to fast.

Fun! I'm glad you still get to get together with Megan. That Grayer is so adorable. I love his "gonna get you" stance, too. Good luck during Andy's busy weeks!
