Prairie Days

So we've been seeing this red-and-yellow balloon all summer, rising and descending above Fishers, near Lourdes' work and Sophie fave Roy G. Holland Park, and we finally decided to check it out up close, at Conner Prairie. This place is like a combination animal farm, 1850s settler-town flashback park and now this helium balloon from France, which takes paying customers up 387 feet above the northern Indianapolis prairie, and you get to see a far ways and get blown about a bit by the winds. Here's our visit....

Autumn Settling

Howdy folks, Here's a few more tantalizing snapshots of autumn life in Indy.

Sophie finally digs the dinosaur exhibit in the children's museum for the dress-up option.

And we hatched a baby dino!

Samari's new favorite perch: up on something.
Also, he can clap and sign for "more". as in food. all the time.

There's all sorts of fun things you can do with stickers.

Apples, everybody loves apples.

This stroller harness is just cramping my style.

And yeah, it's getting cold. But we're happy.
