Children's Museum

 The Children's Museum is all decked out with its newest exhibit - China

Mom enjoyed all the artifacts - reminded her of memories from Hong Kong

The girls got to practice making some Chinese characters

Mulan Jr. was at the theater and we enjoyed watching the show and meeting the cast

 Then on to explore the ocean

 Some mummies from Egypt

 And the day isn't complete without a ride on the carousel

Summer Fun

 Enjoyed our last trip up to Michigan for the summer

 Hit the beach to find some petoskey stones

 Picked some raspberries

 The girls enjoyed the lake and time with just each other

 Grandma joined in on the sparkler fun

 And both Papa Nick and Grandma spoiled us with lots of attention and fun activities

 We even went fishing

 There really are fish in Torch Lake - only took us 30 years to catch some 

Indianapolis Zoo

 We love the new orangutan exhibit

 These guys are so cute and fun to watch

 They're each unique, funny and adorable in their own way

 The dolphin show is always a favorite

 Love hopping along the bridge to get up close with the rhinos

 The lemurs were really fun to watch as well

 And for a lot of the animals it was just another lazy day

 We stopped off at the butterfly exhibit and gardens too

 Love spending time with these girls!

Campfire Fun

 We love grandma ... got to give her some love for setting up the kids with smores

 This year a special appearance by Papa Snow White

 Loved the jokes and skits

 These kids sure are lucky to have such great grandparents and a fun place to make memories
