Indianapolis Zoo

We spent our 13th anniversary taking in our 40th Hard Rock and the zoo. We had a perfect day!

The boys loved the splash pad.

We watched a dog show and a dolphin show. Macen thought it was pretty cool.

Maddox loved feeding the giraffe.

I have no words for this...except he is growing up.

Waiting for the train ride around the zoo. Maddox was in heaven on it.

Happy 4th of July!

 We headed to the Wabash River for some fireworks.

Someone took a selfie.

On a 2nd attempt at homemade ice cream, Maddox wasn't letting any of it go to waste.

We got in 2 nights of fireworks at home. The boys loved the smoke bombs and sparklers the most. The snakes aren't what James and I remember growing up so we'll have to stop getting them.

Louisville, KY

Of course we are going to hit all the Hard Rocks our new location offers. 

Had to pose with the horse

Geocaching

James started this with the boys while in KY. They enjoyed it so I think we'll continue it as we travel the U.S.

Bowling

Maddox got to go bowling for the 1st time before we left with Grammy and Mariah. He had been begging for it for months. So to kill some time while in KY, we took him again. He used the alligator for a bit but when Macen and the neighboring kids didn't use one, he refused to use it anymore. We had a great time but boy was James and I off our game. The proof is shown below as Macen beat both of us.

Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory

We headed to the Louisville Slugger Museum. We learned how bats are made and the boys each got a personalized Louisville bat with their name. 

All the boys practiced their batting skills.

There was a Looney Tunes section and the boys got to meet Bugs Bunny. Maddox was pretty impressed and spent some time staring up at him.
