We took a trip over the fourth of July to Indianapolis to help Uncle Rick celebrate his 50th birthday.
First things first. I had to make sure the couch at the hotel had the right tension in the springs. Looks good.
Aunt Tina treated us all to a trip to the Children's Museum in Indianapolis. It was very cool. This is some sort of bike that I had to peddle by hand.
The museum had an old carousel. Obviously I had to take a couple of rides. Next time I'm going more.
The water table at the museum was pretty popular. I'll have to tell William about this.
After dinner one night, we took a carriage ride through downtown Indy. Here are Aunt Tina and Uncle Rick. Our horse's name was Jimmy. Jimmy liked to be petted. I'm going back to see Jimmy again.
We went to Uncle Matt and Jenny's house in Battle Creek for Uncle Matt's birthday. Luckily they had cake.
Here is the whole crowd: us in front, Jenny, Uncle Matt, Grandma and Jenny's parents in the back.
At Uncle Matt's house, I was the undisputed croquet champion.
During the summer Mom and I stay our pretty late, working in the yard.
Here's Dad checking out one of the cool presents that Mom and I gave him on his birthday.
When Grandma came for Dad's birthday, we played in the bushes next door. It was like a house.
We went to the Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek. We went on a train and a tram. Grandma and I are being very careful about crossing the train tracks.
Say "ahhh..."
Not exactly what you'd call an exotic animal but Dad seems impressed.
