There's a place called Kokomo... Indiana

This past weekend we went to visit my dad and Annette (a.k.a. my future step-mom) up in Kokomo, IN. Halle had to get "warmed-up" to Papa and Annette first before she would branch out and have fun. She is so shy when she first see's someone she hasn't seen in a while. It didn't take her long to realize who they were. Friday night, after Papa and Annette got home from work, we went to eat at Chili's and to Target to get Halle some toys to play with outside. She picked out what she wanted (with a little help from mommy)and ended up getting bubbles and a new ball. We spent the rest of the evening relaxing, watching Halle play outside with bubbles and her ball. We were all pooped so we turned in kind of early.

On Saturday, we got up, had some coffee, and relaxed! After Halle woke up from her afternoon nap, we went out for lunch at the Olive Garden and my dad and Annette showed us around Kokomo. Halle was beginning to get ill after being in the car... what can I say, she's an active and fiesty toddler and she needed to get out of the car asap! We decided to head back to Papa's house for Halle's sake and our sanity! When we got back, we went to go feed the fish and Halle got to enjoy being pushed around Papa's subdivision in her pink car. Yes of course we had to bring her car, she doesn't like to go anywhere without means of her own transportation :) We grilled out hamburgers later that evening, and I can honestly say that we didn't go hungry this weekend! We sat around and talked until it was time to go to bed.

I was sad to see Sunday morning come. The weekends always go by so fast when you go visit family and friends! It's sad to say goodbye, especially when you don't get to see family as often as you would like. I know we will see them again, hopefully soon! We love them and we are grateful for getting the chance to go and visit! I posted some pictures below of our fun trip!

Having SO much fun!

Cheese!



Bubbles are her favorite!



There's that sweet smile I love so much :)



She always does this now when she's being silly... it cracks me up!
