what i did on my summer vacation

DINOSPHERE - children's museum
emmy and maddie dressed up as dinos.
the dome ceiling had hogwart's dining hall characteristics. however, the very realistic thunderstorm terrified maddie and we were forced out of dinosphere



























examining dino fossils














manning a sub














CHESS - first kill














HAPPY 4TH














maddie lifted the sparkler over her head a couple of times. thankfully the falling sparks missed her eyes. her angel works over time.












INDY ZOO
emmy relaxing on a python













aunt lauren and hannah-bear petting a goat














emmy's goat














checking out the chickens


















pecked by the chickens


















LAKE MONROE
watching sissy tube













"i can do it myself"
(we didn't let her but i'm sure she could.)













grandpa, captain (uncle joel) and emmy













ahoy, mates!














emmy loved tubing and swimming in the lake















maddie did not! maybe next year.
(but we made her try twice. that may sound cruel, but boldness is a learned skill.)












the family soaking in the rays. notice hannah soaking in everything!












maddie loved to "drive" the boat.


















so that's what we did on our family vacation!
