Road Trip to Indiana

This week our oldest 3 had their virtual week for school, so we took advantage of that and hit the road! We left early Saturday morning and drove to Indiana to visit Anna. Anna just purchased a new home and she had a list of projects for Jake to help her with. Jake & Anna tackled and completed quite the list! Every morning seemed to begin with a trip to Lowe's. A few of the projects were: fixing the bathroom vent, rewiring the garage, installing a back up sump pump. cutting fire wood, hanging art, re-mortaring any lose stones by her driveway, re-sanding the butcher block countertops, and some other miscellaneous items.

I did school with the kids in the morning and then we played or explored Midtown, Main Street and her local parks. The weather was gorgeous all week - it was like we drove in to fall. 

Anna's new home is absolutely beautiful and we loved spending time with her. Here are a few highlights from our week with Anna, although I didn't take many pictures. We also enjoyed meeting a lot of Anna's friends, going to church with Anna on Sunday, a Wednesday evening dinner party, and breaking in the new chiminea... complete with s'mores three nights in a row.
