Camping with the Family

Last Friday Pete and I took my mom and sister camping at Johnny Appleseed Park in Fort Wayne. We had a lot of fun! While we were there I had the chance to see Jognny Appleseeds grave, it was pretty cool.

Faeries and Butterflies

Last week we visited with Pete's parents up in Fort Wayne. It was a really nice visit. While we were there we went to the Botanical Gardens with his mom. At the Botanical Garden there is always some kind of theme that the decor and flowers are centered around. One time when we went the theme was Wizard of Oz. This time when we went the theme was faeries and butterflies. It was really cool. They had set up little "fairy villages" around the gardens and there was a butterfly display as well. They also had little signs that were written in fairy language that you could decode and if you got them right and solved the secret message than you could enter to win a free 1 year membership. I'm not sure if we'll get the free membership but we solved the message. It said, "To see the faeries in the skies open your heart and close your eyes." or something like that. It was a little bit silly, but overall it was pretty fun.

The Zoo!

Over the last few weeks since school as been out we have had the opportunity to visit the Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, and Lafayette zoos. It has been really fun and we've really enjoyed it.


Here are some pictures from the Indianapolis Zoo:





We were able to go to the Fort Wayne Zoo with Pete's family:

And then we decided to go to the zoo here in Lafayette which makes for a cheap date because it is free:
