Indiana Trip August 2016

I was trying to pick favorites for August of last year when I realized I had too many from our trip to see family.

So I decided to share them in a separate post instead.

This was the first time the girls met some family members.

It’s always nice when your walk leads you to treats.

The boys were at church with my parents.

It is an hour away and the girls would have had to get up early and deal with a lot of new people at a new place so we decided to not go.

The walk was good for them.

I was going to put the pics from Nick’s parents in the same post but there were too many pics!!!

I will share those tomorrow.

Jump IN!

We went to visit Family the last two weeks.

1st big trip in over a year and we survived!

This is my niece on my side of the family.

She is full of spunk and hair like Rapunzel.

We spent a lot of time in my parents pool and two of mine learned how to really swim!

So awesome!

Today was the first day of my husband going back to work and I think I handled it pretty well.

I did not even eat the WHOLE chocolate bar 🙂

Sodalis Nature Park ~Plainfield, IN

Sodalis Nature ParkSodalis Nature Park is another park in the Hendrick’s County Park’s system.

trailheadsodThe signs are just like the ones at the McCloud Nature Park.

meThis park has 3.5 miles of trails and 210 acres.

Nick and I got to hike alone for this one!

I consider hikes dates, the best kind really.

I would rather watch a movie at home than a theatre and food tastes better after a hike.

trailmarkersAnother park with beautiful woods.
