Prior to that, we did go to the Indiana State Museum, where we saw some Native American performances and found all 92 county symbols/art pieces. The girls loved hunting for the art pieces since it was almost like a gigantic seek and find as some symbols were on the building, in the sidewalk, under a bridge, or in a garden.
Even though we celebrated a little early, AJT04 celebrated her 5th Birthday with Mommy’s family over the Thanksgiving week-end. Needless to say, she was thrilled with her cake, which she helped decorate and the doughnuts, which she helped her Grandma make.
While we were staying at Mommy’s parents, we visited some extended family in Woodsfield, Ohio. Probably the biggest thrill for AJT07 (besides seeing many family members and playing with the younger set) was seeing the animals – particularly the pigs and piglets. Upon seeing the piglets, AJT07 promptly started saying “Hi Piggies” to the piglets; needless to say she was enthralled with the piglets and had to return to see them again and again. She also said “hi” to the boar, the donkey, several cattle, and the horses. AJT04 was a bit more reserved; she likes animals to a certain extent but not quite as much as AJT07. Fortunately, AJT07 did not make it into the pen with the piglets, but if we allowed her to climb up in the pen, I’m sure she would have done so.
Once again, time is flying by and the girls are growing up before our very eyes….it is going quickly but we are enjoying it.
