Meeting in the Middle

We hadn't gotten to see our families in a while, so we invited all of them to "Meet us in the Middle" ... halfway between Chicagoland and Cincinnati. That landed us in Lafayette, Indiana. Only the Herros (Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Brian, Nicholas and Jonah) could make it, but we had a blast.

We enjoyed a nice dinner on Friday followed by some fun in the pool. Saturday we spent most of the day at Exploration Acres. Lucas, Nicholas, Stephanie and Mommy started with a trip through the Straw Bale Maze. Lucas and Nicholas then discovered the see-saw (though, Nicholas had to do most of the work). Everyone took a pass at the Ducky Races, where we each pumped water as fast as possible to make our ducks "swim" to the other end of the track. After that, it was on to the Straw Mound, where everyone tested their climbing abilities. A short hay ride took us out to the pumpkin patch, where we got to look at lots of pumpkins and even pick out some to take home. After a break for lunch and naps, we returned to try out the corn maze. As that didn't go as well as the morning activities, we headed back to the kids area and did some pedal carts and tricycles. After dinner, the Herros headed back to Cincinnati while we waited until the following morning to head back.

It was cute how, every time we got in our cars, Lucas would ask where his friends went. :) It was a short, but great trip!
