B-town

aahhh. We've had a relaxing 4 days so far in Bloomington, IN with my parents. Lots of sleep for all of us (Lydia slept in until 7:20 one day! This is unheard of for our morning girl). Fun stuff with the kids. My mom and I have had some great time together just the two of us. We've seen my dear friend Anne and her family several times. We have one more day here before heading to the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee on Friday. I'll be sad to leave but excited to be back here for a week at Thanksgiving! Here are some pics of the kids at Nana and Granddads (my parents):

Sunday we went to church at my old college church and my parents took us all out to lunch at Steak n Shake afterwards. Sunday night Rollie and I had a double date with our good friends Anne and Adam. We had dinner and then hung out at their place after their kids were in bed. My parents had a great time with dinner, baths, and a movie and a popcorn with the kids that night. While my parents were watching the kids Rollie and I even managed to hit a bucket of balls at the driving range...

Yeah, we're totally not dressed for the driving range.

I took a golf class at this course when I was at IU. I haven't swung a golf club since. Thankfully Rollie has!

Monday morning Anne and I ran 4 miles and then I met my family at Cascades Park where we played and hiked to the waterfall. That afternoon we went to Oliver Winery where the scenery was beautiful. The kids had so much fun playing on the grassy hills and feeding the huge fish.
