Visit to Indy

A few weeks ago we got to go to Indy to stay with the Powells. The kids ask about their Indy friends often so it was fun to get them all together again. On Friday, we played outside with our old neighbors (I mean, previous neighbors). Baby Christopher Clarke has grown so much, and it was fun to meet the people that bought our house. Although we didn't get to talk much it was nice to know they love the house (and nothing had broken yet..lol). The Worthingtons, the Renniers and Kenny came over as well which was really fun. It just felt really good and comfortable to be back. The Powell and Willett kids then had a 2 night sleep over. They were in kid heaven.

On Saturday, Troy had a great idea to go pick apples at Stuckey Farms. We have never picked apples before so we were all raring to go.

Too many comments I could put on this one....

Laney brought one of the Powell's buckets to the farm because she was worried they wouldn't have enough bags for all of the apples she wanted. She filled up the bucket but "somehow" those apples were not purchased. It was funny trying to distract her while J would toss some out.

Oh the attempt for the family picture.
We actually have family pictures in a few weeks at a nearby park but
based on this picture above, we have our work cut out for us.

There were many different maneuvers to grab the apples.
Here is the lean.

Jack mastered the squat

Jen had the reach and bend down

Laney just went for the full out reach

Matthew had the 2 year old roll and grab mastered

Carly did a great job picking a variety of apples

These two girls are such great friends; I love how kids just pick up right where they left off.

A great view!

We got to the car and hear a wrapper being unwrapped. Matthew had not only stolen these wax lips but was eating them. What a clepto! For the record, I went back to pay for them :)

Thank you Powells for a wonderful weekend.
We love you all and can't imagine our lives without your friendship.

On Sunday we went to Grace Church where we got to see many of our friends. We just love Grace and to be back there felt like coming home. I look forward to many more visits to Indy :)
