Mini Vacation

This weekend our family was able to get away to spend sometime together. We had a great time Friday visiting the Indiana State Fair and seeing our newest family member, Dawsyn. On Saturday we went to the Indianapolis Zoo compliments of my moms employer, Cargill, Inc. We even got to spend some time with my sister and two of her children and with my mom. Here are some pictures from the weekend.Eli with his Weather Poster. He got a Blue and a Special Merit!!

Trying their hands at "fishing"

Hannah was chosen by one of my entomology Professors from Purdue to hold a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach at a demonstration. She didn't even flinch!

This one is for you, Papaw Baker!

Abeba on the way back to the car....she had quite the day!

Eli and our new nephew, Dawsyn. What a sweetie!

Abeba liked the jellyfish.

Looks like you had a great time! I love the smile on Abeba's face with her cousin and with the jellyfish! She looks SO happy! Glad you guys were able to have a little get-away in the midst of all the busy-ness. Take care.
