Weekend Trip to Indiana

Happy kids at Monicals in Indiana
       Saturday evening we took the kids to Indiana. We stayed the night in Crawfordsville, and went swimming. The next day we went to Turkey Run State Park.

Caleb waiting patiently for pizza. :)

Across from the motel is a John Deere dealership. That we all had to check out after breakfast!

Then to Turkey Run. (which is only about 20 minutes away from the motel) The Lids and Doug were skipping rocks. Doug skipped the most times with 7 skips I believe.  All the kids were pretty good at it.

There were also people canoeing. The water was pretty shallow. There were also a huge amount of minnows that needed to be caught by lots of little hands! :)  Livie and Jake also fell in completely which made hiking interesting! :)

Beautiful Em.   By the way all these pix came off Em's phone.  I have a few more but can't seem to get my camera to cooperate with my computer. So we will use Em's for now.  :)

A snakeskin found and held by Gracie.

Me and Caleb in a cavern/ creekbed. He liked the hike very much. The trail we picked was pretty mild and fun.

Everybody ! :)

Doug found some special artwork. :)  He says he did it really quick just for me. :)

Me & Em in the van after dark on the way home.  It was a really nice trip.  We had alot of fun. And I believe we will go back before it gets too cold. The kids want to do some canoeing, go cart riding, hiking, and a little more swimming. It was great just to be together. Thanks for visiting the Whitakers! :)

  2. We LOVE Turkey Run! Rugged trails makes hiking so much more fun!

    We head up to Devils Lake on Tuesday, haven't been there, but there is rock climbing. Better than hiking with two littles that need carried and both too big for Mommy to carry for long.
