This weekend Alex and I ventured south to Brown County, Indiana to spend some time with my family, including some of the extended crew - my aunt and uncle, cousins Sam and Alyssa, their boys Jacob, Noah, and Harry, and cousins Annie and Ben.
Brown County is the second most-visited park east of the Mississippi River (fact credit goes to Jim, my mom's brother, who is his father's son) and absolutely beautiful this time of year. I think the fall is an amazing display of God's creativity - taking trees that are preparing for winter and turning their leaves into vibrant colors.
Thanks to the generosity of a family friend, we all got to stay together in one giant "cabin" in the woods - all 14 of us under one roof. The house is really cool - porch swings everywhere, a great big yard, a giant "great room" to gather in, and a basement full of games.
Alex and I spent the weekend playing with the kiddos, relaxing outside, and catching up with family we hadn't seen in awhile.
These are the boys - Jacob and Noah are twins and just turned six years old. Here they are eating pigs-in-a-blanket for lunch - yum.
This is Noah - we drew pictures, played tag and air hockey, and went down the water slide together (the park has a cool indoor water park/pool).
This is Jacob - he and Alex played football, shot Sam's BB gun, and played four square with us. Together we all went on a hike through the woods around the house.
This is Harry - he's 18 months old and already has a great personality! He's so sweet, and so much fun to play with - he kept everyone entertained all weekend.
We had a great weekend together with family and can't wait to do it again next year!
