Pedal, Pedal, Pedal

Pedal, Pedal, Pedal!!! This is what she says over and over again while she is riding her bike. Over the last couple of weeks she has improved so much. At first she would just look down at her feet and now she is looking forward. Just this past weekend, she was able to ride this bike around the block without any problems.

What did we do last week?

Nana & Papa came to visit us....

The year 2009 celebates Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday.

We went to Springfield, IL to see the many Abraham Lincoln sites!

While we were in Springfield we learned alot about Abraham Lincoln....

Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky, spent his youth in Indiana, and made Illinois his home.

Our next stop was to the Indianapolis Children's Musuem - We have been to many children's museums and this one still is one of the best.

Further in the week went to Marengo Cave, where we took a walking tour of the Dripstone trail. It was about a one mile tour which took about an hour - The guide stops often to talk about the different formations that were we seeing.

On our way home from Marengo Cave we stopped in Santa Clause, Indiana to walk though some of the shops. J even wrote a letter to Santa and put it an a special mailbox just for him.

However each time his team made a goal J would annouce we won.

Maryland Science Center

Our next stop on our vacation, was to the Maryland Science Center.

Newton's Alley Exhibit

was a very energetic hands-on exhibit that we spent quite a long time exploring!

Of course no scrience center/children's musuem would be complete without a water table. Always a good time!
