Journey to the Hoosier State and back

Well log another successful and fun trip back to Indiana for the Hamilton's - family of three. We left on Thursday mid day headed to Indianapolis, from there it was another 2 hour drive North to Decatur. Our trip was spent visiting with family, friends and a few animals  (1 snapping turtle, a possible bob cat , 1 stray cat, 2 ducks with only 1 leg each and 1 bass- there are stories behind each one, just ask!) . Most of the time we were out by the pool soaking in the great mid west rays, swimming in the pool or the pond and kicking back with your beverage of choice- mine was Bud Light Lime! At night we made bon fires, hung out with friends, made smores and enjoyed the cool breezes that Texas does not have right now!

Adrian of course was the center of attention and I believe she enjoyed every minute of it! So much so that every night she was out by 8 pm and slept for 9 to 9.5 hours. She is a very lucky girl to have so many people that love her and that will be witnesses to her life.

On Monday the 4th we made our way back to Indianapolis where our flight was over an hour delayed but Adrian still did an amazing job and hung in there like a champ- I also like to think that Nick and I also were champs and perhaps even deserve a medal because flying with a child is not the easiest of tasks!  We are already looking forward to next trip in September!


She was not popular at all. All her cousins wanted to play!

Just arrived!
She loved seeing all her cousins!
Taking a ride with grandpa and Madison on the golf cart. Grandpas youngest grand babies.
Grandma Hammond came to visist and see Adrian!
Noah could always get her to sleep. She loved napping here after a long afternoon of playing.
Adrians favorite seat in the house- dads shoulders!
Aunt Krista always makes her laugh!
Adrians dinner time was fun to watch!
Loved being in the pool of course; even when it was 10 degrees lower than our pool at home. She loves the water.
Daddy daughter pool time!

Swimming and fishing in the pond.

Jack caught a bass!
He has to show it off- he kept saying"with no bait!"
About to head back home- we were all sad.
First time sitting in a restaurant high chair at the airport. She did a great job!
Video of Adrian sitting up and then talking to Pete. Very cute!
