Well the last couple days have been busy here in Indy. Sunday we went to church at Trinity Wesleyan and saw a few people that went to church there when I lived here years ago. Most people I knew then though have moved away or are going to different churches now. Sunday afternoon Mom cooked a big lunch and we sat around and relaxed. Dad and I went out to rent a movie at Blockbuster but did not have a membership. Dad tried to get a membership but the guy there would not give him one since he did not have a Indiana drivers licence so the guy would not give him one! We left and came home without a movie. I called a different Blockbuster up the road and told them what happened and they told me to come right over and get a membership. So we ended up getting a movie after all. We watched The Ex. Not bad but not as funny as I thought it would be.

Well today Lisa, the kids, and I met up with Carlie White (a friend from Canada) at the Children’s Museum. She was down visiting her mom her in Indy. So we had to drive two days to see Carlie even though she only lives a little lover an hour away! Well the Children’s Museum has changed a lot since I had been there last. But that was at least 12 years ago. The museum was a lot of fun. Maddie had a great time running around all over the place and playing with all the different things there. After having lunch at Steak and Shake with Carlie we dropped her off at her mom’s house and went to Keystone at the Crossing. For those who have not been to Indy it is a very expensive mall. I have not been many other places where you really have to be rich to shop there. It was fun walking around to all the different stores. The one store I really liked was the Apple store. All that equipment in one place. I wanted to buy one of everything but Lisa would not let me. Why is it my eh design website looks so much better on a 24″ iMac??? Hopefully someday I will be able to afford one. We then came home and had another big meal tonight. Dad and I then when over to HQ and I hooked up his speakers for his computer. They are loud enough I think they could her him on the third floor on the other side of the building.

Tomorrow I am having lunch with Jon Steppe and then I am not sure what we are doing in the afternoon. I think I might take Lisa shopping since she needs some clothes. Mom and dad are out for supper tomorrow night so I think we might rent another movie. I want to see Wild Hogs. Maybe if I am good Lisa will let me rent it….

Well the whole family is on vacation this week. Lisa, Maddie Jack and I drive down from Sussex to Indy in two days. Not a bad drive at all. The kids were great about 98% of the time. A lot better then we thought they would be. So in the last week I feel I have been all over the place. I was in Newfoundland for a wedding, worked two days and then drove here. I will write more about Newfoundland later when I get the photos in order to put on here.

For our first full day here we went to the Indianapolis Zoo. I think Lisa was more excited than the kids to go. It was a really nice day and not to hot. Tomorrow we are going to church at Trinity Wesleyan where I used to go to church when I lived here years ago. Other than that we are going to go to the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Children’s Museum and shopping sometime. It should be a fun filled week. Stay tuned for more!

I do not have my own computer with me so these photos may not look that great…

Well we survived the day without any problems. Maddie is fast asleep. I think we wore her out walking all over town. We did a lot today. Too much to write about now. Just sit back and enjoy the photos…

Well Lisa, Maddie and I are in Halifax for the long weekend. This is going to be our summer vacation this year. We drove up from Sussex today and got here around 1:30 in the afternoon. We picked up Dean Landry at Dal and went out to lunch at Wendy’s. After that we went to the Halifax Shopping Center and there was not much going on there. So we went to our hotel to check in. We arrived at the hotel and the bellhop came out got our bags and we even used valet parking! It is extra money for that, but where the hotel is downtown I like the fact they park the car in a secure location. While we were checking in I turned around and Chris Stephens is standing behind us! Three Season Ant is in town to play a couple nights at a pub right next our hotel. Small world. So we then walked around the boardwalk a little bit, and then walked back up the pub where they were playing and had supper there. Before we listed the to band Chris held Maddie for awhile. I think he is missing his little guy. I offered to let him take Maddie for the night but he wouldn’t go for it. After listening to a few songs Maddie wanted to go. We then grabbed the car and went over to the MicMac Mall and went shopping. We walked around and visited a few different stores but spent most of our time in Zeller’s of all places. I know there is one in Sussex, but the one here is two stories tall. It really is a nice store. We then drove Dean home to Eastern Passage and came back to the hotel. All in all it is has been a good day and Maddie handled all the travelling well. Hopefully tomorrow she will be happy for Canada Day. I am going to take lots of photos tomorrow. So don’t forget to visit the blog again!
