Sorry a few of theses pics are sideways. Not really sure why they did that. But it's just been that kind of day I guess. However, these pics are from last week. We went to the Children's Museum in Indy and then to the Jackson's for the weekend. It's Stu's last week in the US, and then he's off to Berlin!
The boys loved the museum! Adam just wanted to stay in the train exhibit all day. After we'd look at a different thing, he'd ask, "Time to go back to trains now?" That boy loves his trains! :) Alex says his favorite part was the whole thing. :) We'll have to go again this fall when school is still in so maybe there wont be so many people there.
We had a nice time at the Jackson lake house. I was so excited to pack pants! It rained and cooled off this weekend so it was such a relief to wear long sleeves a little bit. The only bummer was it was too chilly to do the slide into the lake! Oh well. I'll take the cool weather gladly! We had a nice visit with Phil, Chelsey, and Stu (and Mom & Dad!). Hopefully we'll be able to Skype with Stu every now and then. Have a safe trip Stu! Miss you!

Ok so here's a cropped pic of Andy and the boys from the first museum pic. At least you dont have to turn your head. :)
And this picture is going to take some explaining. Thurs night/Friday morning Erin woke me up and I found police cars (with lights flashing) lined up on the road outside. I looked out and there sits a house on the other side of the road. I woke up Andy to ask if there had been a storm (tornado) that I slept through. He came out and went down to check it out. Turns out someone was moving a mobile home illegally, on a trailer too small for the size home, and with a truck too small for the load. So at 3am when he came to the dip in our road right in front of our house, the trailer broke, jack-knifed the pickup truck and sent it across the road into the creek and then the mobile home followed. It didn't quite make it as far down, so all you could see from our house was the back end of someone's old house. All the junk from inside the house was strewn all over in the woods/creek and it took a very large tow truck a few hours to get it and the truck out of the woods. So when we woke the next morning, we found our road closed with a house sitting in the middle of it. This is right before we left to go to the Jackson's for the weekend. When we came back this is what we found. I think it will be here for a while. I'm just so thankful that it did not land in our yard!
