Trip to Indiana

Yesterday we took a trip to Indiana to visit my brother Bradley who's on a mission there.  (We're taking some of his luggage home for him this week since he comes home next week)  We drove to Greenwood then met with Elder Royer and Elder Parkinson and took them to Joe's Crab Shack for lunch. Here's a a couple of pictures taken before the feast:

Here are some pictures taken after the feast:

We ate quite a bit of sea food

A full belly makes missionaries happy

After lunch we had to pack back up and head home, but not before we got a picture of our whole family with Brad.

Keep up the good work Elder Royer!

Owen's Trains

Owen has a fascination with anything that has wheels.  He loves cars, trucks, carts, trains . . . etc.  Last week we visted Barnes & Noble and let Owen play with the train set that they had set up in the children's area.  He absolutely loved it and we had a hard time pulling him away from it to come home.  When we were done I remembered that one of my friends had given me a box of Thomas the Tank Engine trains and tracks back before Owen was born.  I went ahead and pulled them out, and now they are Owen's favorite toys.  He'll literally spend hours pushing the trains around the track, over the hills, and through the tunnels.  Mommy is official track repair person, which in and of itself is a full time job.  Anyway, here are some pictures of Owen and his trains:
