Adventures always begin in the airport. I have pics of Madelynne enjoying trips and airport discoveries at Jax's age, so my focus this round to Indianapolis to visit Grandma Sue was on Jax's momentous milestone: his last "Free" ride as the lap child.
The waiting game consists of:
 |
| Being on our devices while we waste time. |
 |
| Or checking out the planes parked at the terminals. |
 |
| Or looking at the planes through spy holes in the seats. |
 |
| Watching the workers load and unload the plane. |
And flying consists of entertainment, sleep, and a few minor meltdowns:
 |
| Watching Coco |
 |
| Holding my hand at take off. |
We got to Indy the day before Easter and Grandma Sue, Aunt Kristie, and cousin Hollie had the eggs and dye ready to be decorated by the kids. Jax wasn't that interested, but Madelynne and Hollie had a blast.

Easter Sunday we ventured to mass and then enjoyed a semi-nice day hiding eggs, playing with bubbles, and enjoying each other's company.

We ventured to the Children's Museum which was, by far, one of the best Children's Museum's Brad and I have been to. It was five levels of diverse and fun activities, including a slide from the third floor to the first. There was a new outdoor sports portion, but the weather was being bipolar, so we didn't get a chance to check it out. The kids had a blast and the adults were tuckered out by the end of the day.

Brad, the kids, and his sister ventured to Tennessee to visit his uncle. The best image was this one:
 |
| Jax was way more interested in the Choo Choo then being in the pic. |
The next day we ventured to the zoo. It was bitter cold and it flurried snow. I had to keep reminding myself it was spring, even though it felt like winter. The zoo was fun. We enjoyed the inside exhibits where we remained warm and liked the dolphin show and orangutans best.

The rest of our time was spent at Grandma Sue's. Kristie and Hollie attempted to leave Thursday, but Kristie's car ended up acting up on her so she had to turn back around to figure things out and stay an extra day. Hollie was secretly excited that the car broke down, she told us later that day when we were at the park. I think she had fun hanging out with her cousins. The park was blast, even in the cold.
