Surprise! We took a trip up to Northern Indiana to visit Joe's family. We wished we could have stayed longer. Lucian had a really good time and was active nonstop the entire time we were up there. The first day was spent with Joe's grandparents, Lucian's great grandparents. He played with their dog, goat, and a little with the piggie. I think he really liked the goat. I can't blame him the goat was pretty cool. We also roamed through their garden, which is pretty big. It makes our potted plants seem minuscule. Some day we will have a big garden with, hopefully, less mosquitoes floating around. They were lethal.
The second day, the fourth of July, was spent with Joe's Dad and family. Lucian had a great time playing with the kids. He has a lot more independence too, which he rather enjoyed. I don't think he wanted to leave and would have been more than happy to return the next day. He played ball, ran around, attempted video consoles, went to the park, and attempted the pool that was really cold. It was a beautiful day. Though we didn't partake in fireworks, we still were able to grill. Lucian was exhausted by the end of the day.
The last day was spent with Nana (Joe's Mom) and Papa. We took Lucian to the park with Nana in the morning. There weren't a lot of kids there but he still had fun. Then we went over to the zoo. I thought it was a cute little zoo. It wasn't very big but it still had some unique animals and a petting zoo. Lucian was able to brush a goat. I think he likes goats? After that, we picked up Papa and went golfing - mini golfing! Of course, that is one of Lucian's favorite pastimes, so he naturally enjoyed it. He picked out a golf ball color for each one of us. He even remembers who had which color ball. As per tradition, we ended mini golf with some ice cream and score tallying. Lucian won. He was a tough competitor. He even decided to try out the driving range with the boys. I think he did pretty good considering how much bigger the club was. After all that fun I thought he would be tired but he wasn't. Joe and I left him with his grandparents for a bit so we could have some down time. He was still awake when we returned! He had so much fun that he requested to spend the night at their house. So we did.
It was a great little vacation. We all had a wonderful time and it was really nice to visit with family. It would have been nice to stay longer, but we will take what we can get for now. Until the next adventure!
