Visiting Jac's family

My best friend, Jaclyn, moved away from Michigan quite a few years ago—first to Seattle to complete an internship. She then moved back for a short period, but has lived in Indianapolis for a few years. I had not visited her place outside of Michigan and have felt terribly about it, so I decided to take the kids and go! It’s fun because somehow we are now both married with two kids! Where has the time gone?

We got there on Friday evening and enjoyed a nice quiet evening eating pizza, catching up and playing with Jac and Carolyn twin boys. Emma especially loved the babies!

The next morning, we went to the Indianapolis Zoo. I love this zoo because it is a perfect size for smaller children. There’s a great mix of animals and they had a splash pad. I think the babies slept through most of our visit, but it was so much fun.
 
After the zoo, we hit up Steak n Shake, where “kids eat free” on weekends. Love that! The rest of the afternoon, we just relaxed and I tried to make sure Colt didn’t run into the road. We are so used to living in the country that the kids thought nothing of chasing balls into the street. Yikes!

We got up kind of early the next morning and ate donuts before we said our goodbyes. The visit was short, but so great! I love keeping in touch with them.

We spent the rest of Sunday and Monday visiting my parents and celebrating my mom’s birthday. What a great way to kick off summer!
