Fun in Indy!

On Friday, we walked to the Bottleworks District. We ate lunch at the Garage Food Hall. Matt got a lobster roll, Morgan got shrimp, Avery got pizza and I got Greek food! We finished it off with a cookie and ice cream. All very good!



Then, we went across the street to Pins Mechanical Co. to play some games. We started off with duckpin bowling. This was a lot of fun! Matt beat us all easily! :)





After that, we played patio version of beer pong with garbage cans and balls similar to a puffy volleyball. Morgan was great at this game (her basketball skills helped!)





Afterwards, we relaxed at the condo before heading to the Fever game.

Dinner out for Matt's 50th

We drove to Indianapolis in the afternoon and got settled into our condo for the weekend. Then, we went out for dinner to celebrate at St. Elmo Steakhouse. Matt picked this place because it has great shrimp cocktail! Morgan and Matt loved the shrimp cocktail - I tried a bit of the sauce and it definitely cleared the sinuses! :)







We all loved the food! We got the chocolate cake for dessert and it was gone in minutes!




Happy Birthday!!!

Somebody had a milestone birthday this year! Matt is 50! Morgan and I decorated the family room with a bunch of pictures and decorations to surprise him in the morning.






The girls made him cards! We gave him some gifts in the morning. We were heading out after lunch for the weekend to celebrate in Indy.






Here's to a fun weekend!

Boot camp!

Avery's dance school had their competition boot camp this week. It's a kick off for the new season and they learn a lot of the dances they are going to compete with during the season. This is Avery's first year on company and she's really enjoying it! The first day she got an improvement award!





Basketball day

Morgan played in a shootout with Team MC in the morning. This is her last one of the summer since she can't make it to the remaining ones.

Then, she went to tryouts for Breakaway's fall league. She's going to do their Getter Better League as a warm up to the winter league.

Chicago Snowballs Game

We went to see the Chicago Snowballs game on Saturday night. Its like a smaller version of the Bananas kind of sportstainment. We went with Erin and Brett's family and met up with Keely's family as well. My cousin Kyle was there with his family for a birthday party, so we got to see him as well.



Hard to see here, but that's a pitcher on stilts and a double stack of batters!


Erin bought the boys the bat to drink out of! :)
