Visit to Columbus, Indiana

Last week Gary had a conference for work in Ohio. Since he was going to be busy with that all week and overloaded with homework, my brother Tyler and his wife Elise let the two boys and myself stay with them. It was fun to see them and their cute family. Here are some fun pictures from our week with them.



We were able to go swimming at the hotel while traveling to Indiana/Ohio. The "hot tub" was more like a warm pool, so I spent most of the time in there with Austin.



Gary and Jake liked playing in the pool.



Elise met us at a park near Louisville. It was cute, Kenzie and Jake were holding hands, but by the time Gary grabbed the camera, they let go. (Of course!)


We went to an elementary school playground near their home that had a HUGE play set. It was so cute. It took Jake a little while, but he warmed up enough to begin playing.



Checking out the playground.



A teeter totter for four!



This was a fun boat that rocked. (I love how cute Kenzie looks in every picture!)



Fun with play doh! (He had so much fun, that I went and got some at the store the other day!)



One day we went to the library. They have a great library with lots of fun things for kids. (Poor Brooklyn in the background).



Building towers at the library.



Another day they got out the pool and slip-n-slide. Jake wasn't too sure about it, so he watched.



They had a blast!



Austin got lots of lovin' from all the girls. (I'm sure he misses the attention).



Another day they took us to this fun indoor playground. (Poor Jake was unsure about it, so he watched his cousins from the sidelines).



Austin on the other hand seemed to enjoy himself!






We also got out finger paints. Jake has been so proud of his picture all week. He keeps wanting me to take it off the fridge so he can carry it around!


Thanks Ty, Elise, and kiddos for letting us invade your home for the week! It was a blast!

  2. So many cute pictures. My favorite is Austin smiling in his car seat. What a beautiful boy. It makes me smile when I look at that handsome little guy. Austin has a way of looking right into your eyes and making you feel like he recognizes you as a long time close friend. I'm making a copy of that one and keeping it with me. Love you guys so much.
