A few days ago, Bryce was planning to go to a 4-H photography session until this big blizzard hit. I got out our Nikon camera so that we could take it with us and I found some really great pictures from this past June. Each kid had the camera at some point because we were taking photos to enter in the contest during Ag Day in Williamsfield. Some of them turned out pretty cute!
As part of the kids Christmas present, we decided to take them on a little experience trip to both Indianapolis and Chicago. The boys went to both a Bucks game and a Bulls game and Ali and I spent some quality time doing some shopping! We left on Wednesday, January 3rd and got to our hotel around 4. We walked to a nearby mall where Ali and I did some clearance shopping at Bath and Body Works, got a pretzel at Auntie Anne's, and found some fun things at TJ Maxx. While we were shopping, the boys headed to the Bucks vs. Pacers game. Ali and I walked back to the hotel and hung out in our hotel room for the rest of the night. On Thursday, January 4th, we ate breakfast at the hotel and headed to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. We spent almost 5 hours there. It was seriously so cool and we all had a great time! We then headed back to our hotel to relax a little bit and then we went out for supper at the Old Spaghetti Factory just down the block from our hotel. It was so yummy and we were all so full! On Friday, January 5th, we ate breakfast at the hotel again and packed up our stuff to head to Chicago. We got to the windy city around 1 and did some shopping on Michigan Avenue after a yummy lunch at the Shake Shack. We walked all the way to the Lego store and then Ali and I decided to go to The American Girl Store. The boys headed back to the hotel to get ready for the game that night. We let Ali pick out a doll for an early birthday present and man did we have a good time. She even picked out a camping set to go along with it. She couldn't wait to get back to the hotel to set everything up. The lady at the store took it out of the box for her and it was super cute to watch her carry it back to the hotel and then when we walked to Taco Bell just down from our hotel. We spent the rest of the night hanging out in the hotel room watching a few movies while the boys watched the Bulls win. On Saturday, January 6th, we woke up and enjoyed Dunkin Donuts while we packed up and headed for home. We got home around 2 and then headed to Grandma D's house at 5:30 to help her celebrate her 93rd birthday!
