8.5.2023 Indiana State Fair, Hoosier Heights, and the Cincinnati Zoo

Dustin and Kendall came for a long weekend and we had a great time.  We spent the day at the Indiana State Fair, ate some fair food and saw some animal exhibits.







Juliette was so excited to bring Kendall to Hoosier Heights for some rock climbing.  



This was a first for us at the Cincinnati Zoo.  We all had a great time.  They had a lot of animals, many primates, interesting exhibits and a baby hippo named Fritz!










Twins in their onesies!

One of our favorite families came for a brief visit!  Miss Emma has been spending the last year abroad so we were joyous to see our special framily.

Family pictures!































Family pictures are so very important to me.  It is a time where we certainly have our smiling faces and best dressed selves turned toward the photographer.  We are smiling deeply too for we know what a gift it is to hold each other close, hands held on a beautiful Indiana evening. Life certainly throws curve balls, more often than not, and how we respond paves the way of future selves.  One foot in front of the other we live our best life the way we know how.  No matter how perfect we want our life to be....without anxiety, without illness, without strife...it just isn't.  What we can control in life is where we put our attention, on kindness, love, family, friends...simply being a good human being. I read that, "every version of our self wrote the self we are today".  We have much to be grateful for in this life, make it count.  Make the most of your opportunities and the beautiful life you have been given.
