Family Travels

We have been a busy traveling family lately.  We haven't traveled with both boys but one time since Grayson was born so we decided it was time to make our rounds and visit family and friends in Ohio and Indiana.
First stop was Piqua, Ohio to visit the Drapp family.  It was a beautiful weekend, the first in a while so we spent time outside, going to the park, riding bikes, and blowing bubbles.


Grayson's first time on the swing and he LOVED it!!


Then we visited with Grandpa Fankhouser (looking dapper as always)...

And Grandpa Drapp (who recently had stints put in his heart and was up and running like his old self).....

 Four generations of Drapp boys....


 Owen showed us his talent by yelling at the top of his lungs and playing the piano - a beautiful rendition to the theme song of "Dinosaur Train"....

Brad even got to spend time with his friends from high school, honoring this amazing man who is leaving for Afghanistan...


After our trip to Ohio we headed home, Brad got back to work and the next week we were off to visit the Prather family in Indiana.  Again we had beautiful weather so we spent a great deal of time outdoors at my dad and Karen's new/old farm house.  Owen got to ride the mini tractor, play soccer with his cousins (Max and Luke were also in Indiana for their spring break), and sit on the four-wheeler.  Owen wanted nothing to do with riding it when it came time to actually turned on...




We visited with GG - Grayson's new favorite friend...


And I got to spend some time with my girlfriends for a quick dinner at the local Chili's...
The next day we had to say goodbye to Pop Pop (you can tell by Owen's expression that he wasn't happy)...
And we headed to the Indianapolis Children's Museum.....


We met Kristi, Jenna and their two little ladies, Sophia and Julia for a big day of fun...



Owen loved all of the exhibits, we saw dinosaurs...



Owen and Sophia loved the train exhibit and each other...



We played on their amazing water table which even had its own waterfall (much more elaborate than the Lexington Children's Museum)...


There were so many cool things to see and do, we could have spent all day...



 But this little guy was worn out and ready to head home to see daddy...

We had a lot of fun visiting with everyone but there really and truly is no place like home!!
