summertime in indiana

just had a breakthrough!
i have tried to load more than four pics at a time on blogger, and it's never worked.
not sure what i was doing wrong-but alas! today it worked!

evan was headed to go backpacking in north carolina with his best friend from law school.
google 'roan mountain nc' and you will see where he went.
i'm insanely jealous. the mountains are covered with rhodedendrons
and will blow you away.
anywho, he was headed out of town and i thought 'why don't i drive to indiana?'
and so i called my sister in law amanda in upstate new york.
she came down with her gals ages 3 and 2, and we had the best time.

we stayed for 3 days at grandpa and grandma's. we found a frog, went exploring, had a water fight,
looked through old pics, and reveled in the quiet country. i love going out to evan's parents for the quiet.
amanda and i took the 5 little women to goodwill where we found some excellent finds, namely evan's father's day present:
a tasmanian devil/looney toons tie. :)

we headed up to evan's sister sarah's house for a few more days. there we swam, went on more treasure hunts for funky things, played outside, and i hardly saw my girls because they were playing with their cousins and it was awesome.

thanks everyone for such a fantastic visit!
we loved it!


the indiana landscape is breathtaking. love the rows of green corn and the overcast sky.



great grandma fetters and us. and we're all smiling-a miracle!



a spitting water fight-and looks like grandma is winning!




maya was completely soaked.



maya's first fat lip-she was actually kind of proud of this. it was awesome.



little zoesy cat at the pool. she kept dunking her face. looks like we have a water baby.



madden and zoe. this is evan's sister sarah's little man. sarah and i have been preggy at the same time three times. woot woot!



on the way home i earned the 'coolest mom EVER' award. we stopped at buffalo phil's in wisconsin. inside the restaurant a train brings you your food. best decision ever to eat here.



jumping puddles in the corn.



summer night in indiana. love love love it.
