Our Trip To Indianapolis

Mommy and Nolan flew to Indianapolis on Wednesday morning and flew back to Chicago on Thursday night. Two of Mommy's friends from college just had new babies, so we all met in Indiana to meet the babies and catch up with each other. Katy lives in Virginia, and she had baby Nicolas who is now eight weeks old. Liv lives in Auburn, IN, and she had baby Kellen five weeks ago. Liv also has Campbell who turned two in February.
Mommy had to wake up Nolan to get ready for the airport on Wednesday. He was sleepy but really liked the small animal seats in the security area at Midway Airport. Nolan fell fast asleep in the car after leaving the airport.
We met at a restaurant in Anderson, IN to meet Liv, Campbell and Kellen. Pictured are Katy, Nicolas, Nolan, Mommy, Campbell, Liv and Kellen.
Here is another picture of our crew outside. It was a windy day!
We went for a walk, and Nolan loved the ducks and geese in the pond.
We went to the Indianapolis Children's Museum on Thursday. Nicolas and Nolan were so excited about their first trip to the museum...
So excited that Nicolas slept almost the entire time and Nolan slept for the first half hour.

Nolan woke up and was ready to explore! He checked out the legos.
He liked the trains.
Everything was right at Nolan's level.
He climbed up a wall.
He loved it!
He drove an old car.
Nolan rode in a big tractor.
He colored with crayons.
Nolan LOVED this climbing wall.
He went up and down MANY times!
Nolan and Nicolas got their diapers changed in the museum...the boys are 15 months apart.
We went to Butler, and Nolan had some lunch in the C-Club on campus.
We visited Mommy's sorority house. Nolan loved the tour and meeting all the girls.
We took a picture in front of the Alpha Chi rock.
It was a nice day, and Nolan loved checking out the cars, kids and activity on campus.
We went to Hinkle Fieldhouse to visit with Mommy's old friend and co-worker, Donna. Nolan could be her new assistant...he liked checking out the copy machine.
Nolan, Mommy and Donna took a quick picture in the Men's Basketball Office.
Nolan went on the gym floor.
He liked crawling and sitting on it.
He had fun watching the women's volleyball team practicing.

After visiting Butler, we headed to the airport and were back in Chicago. Nolan liked watching the luggage going around and around.
We had a great time with our friends! It was fun to be back in Indy! Thanks Liv and Katy for a great visit!
