Before school started we knew we had to have one more adventure. We went to see my sister in Indianapolis. Nana had to work until 8pm so we decided to leave after she got off work and drive all night. It was a long night and long drive and my kids are really night owls I have realized! We pulled into the driveway at 6 am and headed to bed. After sleeping the morning away we headed to Steak and Shake for some burgers and milkshakes and then onto the Indiana State Fair! It had opened that day. The sun was shining and their was a slight breeze and it was a perfect day for a fair! The kids loved seeing all the animals and Caleb got to milk a cow! We were able to putt-putt and watch some ladies making rugs and thread! We had to get some lemonade and roasted corn to tide us over til dinner! We then headed to the rides. Maddie wanted to ride the ferris wheel and Caleb wanted to ride the huge slide. Maddie had so much fun looking out over all of Indianapolis at the top of the ferris wheel. Caleb and I rode a ride together and had so much fun. Robyn and I could not leave without riding a grown up ride and found the biggest one there. It went round and round and upside down and was the best ride I have ever been on. It felt like we were kids again at the Peanut Festival! We watched some of the rodeo then decided we had enough fun for the day. We headed to get some chinese food then to bed early! The next day we took it easy and stayed inside and listened to music and watched movies. That night Mom watched the kids so Robyn and I could go out and partay! We had so much fun just being us with no kids around. I got to meet her friends she had been talking about for the last 3 years. We had so much visiting with her and it was time to head home way too soon. After a scrumptious lunch at Maggiano's we said our goodbyes and started our journey back home. We stopped in Kentucky at DinoWorld to let the kids see all the dinosaurs and to stretch our legs. The rest of the trip home went smooth because the kids fell asleep and didn;t wake up until we were almost home. We had the best time visiting with Robyn. Our visits don't happen often enough so we make the most of our time together. Next year we get to go to Chicago because Robyn just moved there. Can't wait to tour the windy city!
