Indianapolis and dear Lee Ann!

After the craziness of our family and history tours we left the busy part of our vacation behind and headed for a week of relaxation.

But before we got there we had a little more driving in front of us.

And a little more singing. WG is a devoted Taylor Swift fan. His favorite song is Love Story. Just ask him. :)

We arrived in Indiana ready for friends, good fun, and relaxation. It was awesome.
The next day we went to the world's largest Children's museum. It was very cool.
The kids had a blast!


That night the adults went out to the Melting Pot, leaving the kids home with a couple of sitters. I had heard a lot about this restaurant. It was very good, and a great experience.
I think the steam from the fondue pots in this shot is awesome.
Look, a good picture of me, miracles can happen. Billy looks great too, but that is less of a miracle.
After taking the babysitter home Lee Ann and I saw a couple fire flies, which was totally awesome since it was on my to do list for our trip. I was bumbed that no one else saw them though. Hopefully next time.

So before we left for our trip I got my hair cut. It was not a good cut, AT ALL! So while in Indiana, and before Lee Ann took amazing family pictures of us which you can see here, I went to her totally awesome friend who fixed my hair and gave me an amazing cut! I love it, now I just have to find someone around here who can keep it up.

Princess insisted on coming with us, but she got bored, and tired.
We found her here
After a great shoot, that we are so excited about. We were treated to a WMBA game. It was so much fun. The kids were so into dancing and cheering that they all got on the big screen. Then Lee Ann and I did. Which was funny. But then they replayed our shot over and over and over.
They were making fun of us! But ok, it was really funny.


Having a great time at the game!
So after the game we traded around a bit so everyone would know how to get back home. Lee road with me and Billy went with Randy.
Apparently the boys went site seeing. Lee Ann and I were focused on two things, not getting lost, and beating the boys home.
Everything seemed to be going great, until we got on the freeway.
Not long after we pulled onto the freeway we settled into a nice pace behind a big truck. There was no changing of lanes, no cutting anyone off. Nothing. Nothing that would make what happened next in anyway explainable.
So, we are driving along when this cars pulls up next to us and flashes its head lights.
I ignored them.
They did it again, and again, and again. They would pull a little in front of us (always staying in their own lane) flicker their lights, slow down so they were barely on our tail, flicker their lights. It was kind of getting annoying after a few minutes.
So I matched their speed and looked at them to see what the heck they wanted.
The men in the car pointed at the car.
There was nothing wrong with my car!
Lee Ann thought they wanted me to roll down the window.
Yeah? No! I was not rolling down my window.
Then . . .
they flashed a gun at us!
My first thought was, is that a real gun or just a real looking fake? I'm pretty sure it was a real gun.
Lee Ann, keeping her wits about her (sort of), yelled for me to slow down.
I did. Yep, I hit the breaks right there on the freeway.
They flew past us.
Then we thought we should get their license plate and turn them in. So I sped back up to get right behind them - about a quarter of a mile behind them (ok maybe not that far, but seriously I WAS NOT getting close enough to get shot!)
I told her if she could read the license plate from there great, otherwise tough luck.
So we settled for calling our husbands instead.
We were VERY freaked out. Lee Ann more than I, but I have to say if it was my home instead of a place I knew I'd be leaving with in 24 hours, I might have been a little more upset.
I maintain we stayed a live cause I'm an excellent driver, and good under pressure.
Randy maintains it was just a couple of idiots trying to scare two mom's alone in a car with a bunch of kids. Probably.
That night we had a lot of ice cream. I did not like that part of Indiana!

The next day we had a relaxing morning, went swimming, and left for Green Bay. And no one even got shot. We had a great visit. It was so good to see our friends and spend time with them.
Lee Ann and I did some of our favorite things, talking, shopping, talking, walking, talking, hanging out, and talking :) it was great!
Miss you Lee! and horray for drama, what would we do with out it ;)
