Drop off two and pick up another from the airport...that was our day Wednesday.After we dropped off Christy and Leif we went to the Indianapolis Children's museum (largest children's museum in the US) We played around for a few hours and then napped in the car for a little while before we picked up my dad from the airport.
(This is Dad insisting on sitting in the back seat of our car on the way to Chicago)Dad was a good sport and returned to the museum with us, while we waited for Jeff to join us, when his conference got over. Benjamin showed all of his worst qualities by crying for 3 hours.... poor guy wasn't feeling well and was tired and couldn't fall asleep.
On our way back to Lafayette we found the nearest 7-11 and indulged in some ice cold SLURPIES!!!
A Fajita dinner finished off the night, and then we were all so tired we headed off to bed.Thursday, we worked on the pile of laundry that had accumulated over the weekend. Dad and Ehre played games and read books. We had lunch with Jeff on campus and Dad got his tour of Jeffs lab. Ehre played in the fountain, showing off all her energy to Grandpa. Chinese dinner was great and then we did some Fathers Day shopping.
Friday morning we got up early and headed out for Chicago, Dad agreed to watch the kids so that Jeff and I could attend a temple session. The temple was beautiful, but not the bugs. There are these Cicada's that stay in a larvae stage for like 17 years and then they all mass develop. Its incredible but they are everywhere and they are almost the size of a Twinkie. They are extremely noisy, and they are green and red.
We wandered through Chicago till we got lunch and then we kept on wandering south till we got to the airport...and then dad was gone.It was a short visit but we really enjoyed it. Ehre loves having her grandparents around and misses not being so close to them. Thank goodness for modern inventions that make visiting much more convenient.
