It has been 5 years since Brandon has been to his home land, so it was time to take a visit! So we boarded a plane and set off to visit his family.
The kids had a GREAT time on the plane and were so good. The above picture is while we had a layover in Denver. The had a kid section with kids shows on the tv. Genius!
There was some rainy days so we headed to the Children's museum. They have the largest children's museum in the world. It is fantastic. We went when it happened to be the local's fall break so it was super busy. So we weren't able to do everything that we wanted to do there. But we still had a great time
We had to hit the Barbie exhibit or we would have had a major tantrum cry fest on our hands.
Cambree and Harmony
This giant transformer was one that they actually used while making the movie!
Fall time in Indiana is amazing. We may have mountains here but they have large huge ginormous trees everywhere. The colors were just amazing. We stopped at a local apple orchard and got cider slushies and played at the park.
The kids helped grandpa rake the leaves. The would all put them in the wheelbarrow then grandpa would let them help deliver them to the GIANT pile.
Caleb was having a GREAT time! Cambree quit after the first wheelbarrow dumping. She got leaves down her pants! haha
One of the main reasons we headed to Indiana was to see this beautiful lady! This is our famous Grandma Weber and we just adore her. Cambree was telling us one night that she thought Grandma Weber was so beautiful and she wished she could have white hair just like her.
Grandma Weber has a room in her house dedicated to Christmas and keeps in decorated year round. She loved showing the kids all her decorations. They loved seeing it all. We were talking to Caden one day and we were telling him to get his shoes on because we were going to see Grandma Weber. He looked at me really confused and says, "Grandma Weber??" Then the light bulb went off and he says, "Oh, Grandma Christmas??" I laughed and told him "yes" we were headed to see Grandma Christmas. At our house she will always be known as Grandma Christmas! haha
Caleb and Uncle Daniel
We went the week before Halloween so Grandma Weber let the kids "trick-or-treat" and she gave them each a bag of candy
Brandon with John and Kathy Greisemer. (aunt and uncle)
As soon as school was back in session we headed to the Indiana Zoo. The BEST zoo I have ever been to. It was completely empty and we had the whole zoo to ourselves.
They had an exhibit where you could pet the sharks. The kids were a little timid at first but once they tried it they LOVED it and kept asking to go back all day.
They had a large arena with a whole dolphin show. The kids loved it when they did tricks and jumped out of the water. Here we are with our cute cousin Harmony
The you could walk underneath the water and watch the dolphins swim above you
We had such a great time visiting family. Brandon and Cambree were sick most of the time but were still good troopers. We are hoping to be able to go back more often......I think we have a new fall tradition!
