Here Comes Santa Claus

On Tuesday, we went to Memorial City Mall to see Santa Claus. Ike and Aggie had seen Santa at the Bass Pro Shop before, but Ike wouldn't talk to him so he had to go see Santa again. This time, Ike told Santa that he wants a big train set for Christmas. He told Santa that Aggie would like a pink backpack. Both were well-behaved and took a nice picture. Aggie even kept a bow in her hair. The scan isn't that great, but you can see they took a decent picture...better than many I've seen so far this year.

Seymour Public Library

The Seymour Library has a great children's section. Ike and Aggie were running around (yeah, in a library) playing with a Thomas the Tank Engine train set and a neat puppet stage with all kinds of puppets. Aggie played in the little infant/toddler area and was quite pleased. Ike also colored some Thanksgiving themed coloring sheets.

In the entry to the library, there is this huge tree cross section and each tree ring represents a year and some historical event in Seymour/Jackson County.
We did actually check out some books and videos while we were there. The kids had just made stone soup at daycare the week before so we checked out the book and read it many times over the span of the visit.

Visiting Friends

We were able to visit several friends while in Indiana.

Back Home Again, in Indiana

We traveled to Seymour, Indiana for Thanksgiving. What an adventure! High points included fishing and visiting the Children's Museum of Indianapolis.
