Another Long Weekend...

and it was a great one! Nick & I had taken off work Friday because we were heading to Indy for the weekend and Nick wanted to see my cousin Jack play football that night. Of course as our luck would have it, Jack got sick, missed school & practice so that meant no playing time for him. Nick & I couldn't decide what we wanted to do, but we decided at the last minute to head down Friday with mom & dad. I'm so glad we did because we had an awesome time!!!

We arrived in Indy around 4:30 Friday afternoon and got to spend about with Mark, Jack and Henry before they left for TerreHaute. The evening was great! We ordered pizza, Jeff played with Simon & Daniel, he loved Si especially & kept calling their yard a park...it was perfect, 2 swingsets...what little person wouldn't love that?

Saturday morning we did bagels for breakfast, I got to run and finish some homework, and then we did a mini did tour de-Carmel (a couple of parks and the boys fishing hole) which was great! Ended up with lunch at BUB's (Big Ugly Burgers)... Nick of course ate the "Big Ugly" and got his picture taken for the wall of fame. After the burgers was the candy store...got Jeff a few treats for the wedding! There was a vintage car show happenning and Main Street was closed. Dad especially enjoyed this. A new statue was "uncovered" we watched the unveiling..then headed back to Willeman's house so we could pack up and head downtown to meet up with John & Steph at the hotel. We got settled in okay and all enjoyed getting ready in the same room...that's right, the other room wasn't ready yet! Oh well, what can you do. The wedding was gorgeous and Kylee and Jack make an adorable couple! It was so freaking amazing... we had a great time at the reception, Jeff was good and lasted a long time which was great too. He made a new friend so the two of them enjoyed playing together.

Our night was interesting to say the least...Jeff went right to sleep, thank goodness, poor little guy was exhausted! At 515am, the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate the hotel! I'm thankful I laid in bed the night before and thought about what I wanted to grab in case that it happened. The little checklist helped! So we all evacuated and waited outside...dad took pictures, god love em, so at some point I'll get some of those up too. Of course it was a false alarm so we got back into the room and went back to sleep. Honestly not more than 5 minutes later the alarms went off again!!! No I'm not kidding...at 615am, it went off again! Thankfully this time they came back on over the intercom and told us it was a false alarm. Mom & dad decided to knock on our door at 745 and tell us we were leaving at 830...holy crap, I had to get ready and pack up the room! We made it though and met the Willeman gang for breakfast. Had a great time seeing them again and talking in the parking lot. The ride home was great, Jeff slept from Ft. Wayne to Grand Rapids, so that was nice. We spent the night just relaxing and unpacking from the weekend.

It felt good to get away and do something different this weekend! A little mini vacation is always nice for anyone.
They all drove downtown Indy to meet John and Steph @ the hotel.
THye have the wedding this evening.
We are going to try to meet for breakfast in the AM if they can
