Fort Wayne, Indiana weekend

 Last year I had bought tickets to Night Lights, which of course was cancelled for Covid. After a series of false new dates, it finally was set to happen. We had picked the Indiana option and made a fun long weekend out of it.

This event was so cool, we really had a good time and would love to do it again!

My friend's sister lives in Fort Wayne and had given us tons of ideas for the rest of the weekend. 

We spent some time in their downtown, no fun shops, but a pretty cool outdoor park area (Promenade Park) that would've been extra cool in the summer. 

And we spent a full day at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo. Which was AMAZING.

August's favorite: feeding the stingrays

And my favorite: the log ride through the "Australian outback"

They even had a little farm area where the kids could brush the goats. 

The last day we stopped at Salomon Farm which is a working farm since the 1800s.

It was a really great trip!

Mother's day

 So blessed to be mama to these 2 loves. 

They mostly play well together. 

Here they are, August "reading" Jeanie's Big Girl Panties book to her.

I don't know why, but they love sitting in the dining room corner together. 

Everyone likes popsicles on the porch :)

Juice in the corner.

Coloring. 

Bear jammies.

Playing in the diaper box.

Puzzles and toys in the play area.

Mother's day gifts. And out to (well it turned out just pick-up) breakfast at a delicious cafe before church.

Church with my family.

My new "mama" necklace. 

I'm so thankful God gave me the privilege and challenge of being their mama. 

I also had a nice time celebrating my mother, with my sister, getting pedicures and out to dinner at Olive Garden together. But didn't get any pics :(
