We went to Indiana for a week to celebrate Ava's birthday and visit with family! We were ready to get our vacation started!
We got there Friday afternoon, and Lo picked us up at the airport! She walked around with Ava and brought her Minnie Mouse :)
Saturday, Ava stayed with Grandma all day and Matt and I had breakfast with Grant and Sara, walked the trail, had lunch and drinks, and then saw a movie. Ava got to swing in her new swing from Grandma and play with pink sand! It was a great day for us and for Ava and Grandma!
Ava loved chasing Max around :)
Here are Ava and Grandma with her tree!
On Sunday we celebrated Ava's birthday at the park. Ava loved walking around Manitou Mountain and got to swing a lot! I remember volunteering to help build Manitou Mountain, and it was so much fun to see Ava playing there! Thank you to Sara and Lo for all your help with the party, and to my family for coming to visit with us! We had a BLAST!
Monday we took Ava to Indiana Beach. We went every summer growing up, and I have been looking forward to taking Ava there! My cousin, Allyson, brought her boys and they were hilarious and helpful with Ava - what a fun day!
On Tuesday we headed to Indianapolis to stay a few nights downtown. We had a great time swimming at the hotel, and walking around the Artsgarden and Circle Centre Mall. Again.....I got to do something with Ava that I have great memories of doing growing up!
After college when I lived in Indianapolis for a year, I went to the canal often to walk and think. Our walk from the hotel to the zoo passed through the canal and we stopped for some pictures!
We had so much fun at the zoo! Ava pointed and looked at all of the animals!
I am so thankful for this trip and the reminiscing I was able to do :) I am also thankful for the new memories I was able to create with Matt and Ava! Now we are ready to enjoy our summer at home!
