Weekend in Indiana Part Uno

The nice thing about Leo being a pilot is that sometimes he gets an unexpected long weekend. This past weekend he had five days off, so of course we went to Indiana. (I wasn't at all motivated by the sewing machine my sister had bought at a garage sale and had waiting for me.)

Saturday we went to Turkey Run State Park and hiked all over. It was Ana's first time hiking, and she LOVED it!!! She did really well too, no whining or anything.

Here's the Bell family.

We also were able to test out our new baby carrier--Elena apparently thought it was cozy. (Thanks Martha, Orlando, Cesar and Alex!)

Ana carried Brett's camelback and kept asking why we had never bought her one. Hmmm.... it just wasn't the first thing to pop into my head as a necessity of life, maybe? Andrea, don't you dare tell her you gave Miriam one!This is Kayli (yes, 7 months pregnant), Brett (yes, with Ethne still strapped on his back) and Ana all suspending from the suspension bridge. Silly monkeys.

On the suspension bridge--the river looked nice underneath, but a little smelly.

Ana's first hotdog roast!!! We forgot barquets, so Kayli and I went and begged some off another group of hikers that were nearby. Oops. We also forgot the stuff to make smores. And we should have bought another bag of hotdog buns--hence the pictures of us eating hotdogs off a stick.


More pictures--Kayli takes a million!! You should all double click on it to see the pictures bigger.

Ethne and Elena were so adorable. They could both say each other's names by the time we left, and both were just trouble. You'll see more pictures of them in my next post. Till then, ta ta!

Looks like soo much fun!! I had to laugh when I saw your cute prego sister hanging from the rope, and then her hubby with the baby on his back. :D You all have such a fun family! You both look fantastic, and how fun for you both to be pregnant together again! The pictures are AMAZING!!
