Brown County

As promised, I've finally gotten around to uploading pictures from our trip to Brown County last weekend. Every year, Scott's family goes to a state park in Indiana for the weekend. This year was Brown County, which was great because it had an indoor pool and water slide! It was about a 4 hour drive for us and the kids did GREAT on the way there and home. We arrived Friday around 7 with hopes to get Elli a good nights rest before a busy day of playing with her grandparents and cousins on Saturday. Well....we attempted an early bedtime, but she had a lot of trouble sleeping in her pack-n-play and woke up several times that night. Connor was also still getting up during the night. Saturday night was no different with both kids. Needless to say, Scott and I were exhausted when we got home. We had a great time, but little sleep for Elli equaled various meltdowns for during the day. Elli LOVED playing with Vander and Dane. For the past week, we've heard at random times throughout the day "Nana," "Papa," "Dane" (which when she says "Dane" she means Vander....she can't get their names straight. She's a little obsessed with Vander) and she's even pointed out pictures of Aaron and Ross. Elliana hesitated going down the slide at first, but after a nap she was ready to go! Take a close look at Scott....would have been a great picture if he wasn't trying to make crazy faces!

Happy to be swimming!!

Ever since we got home, Scott has been looking at places we could take Elli swimming with a comparable slide to the one at Brown County. Connor spent most of his weekend sleeping, eating, and cuddling up with Nana.
