Indiana Lesnet Blog: Over Already?

Today is Stephanie's last day of being between jobs. As you probably know, she has taken a couple of weeks off before starting up at the bank tomorrow. It has been a great 2 weeks but it has really flown by.

We wanted to get away for a few days during Stephanie's time off so we decided to go to North West Ohio and spend some extended time with family. We drove up to Bowling Green on Wednesday afternoon and we returned on Sunday afternoon.

On Thursday morning, we met Kim and her son Carson at the Toledo Zoo. Stephanie and Kim have been friends for a little over 30 years now. Carson and Kai have now been friends for about 3 days. I (Chad) used to go to the Toledo Zoo with my mom's family every year when I was growing up in Southern Michigan. Stephanie and I were amazed at how much the zoo had changed since the last time that we had been there...but this blog is about Kai and not his old parents who like to reminisce about the good old days...

Kai really enjoyed the zoo! He had a great time watching people and he even liked watching some of the animals. He really liked the aquarium and the penguins. He also liked all of the different primates, the elephants and the hippopotamuses. Here is a picture of Kai with his mom and Carson checking out the fish.

Here is Stephanie and Kai with Kim, Carson, and baby (Kim is just finishing up her first trimester so her baby is only the size of a kumquat and not easy to see in this picture, but he / she is there!)

After we went to the zoo, we headed West to Edon to see Grandpa and Grandma Lesnet. The last time we were at the farm, Kai didn't enjoy visting the sheep. This time, Kai really enjoyed the sheep.

We spent the rest of the weekend trying to relax and get ready for Stephanie's big day on Monday! We made a trip to the toy store to get Kai a truck, watched Grandpa Eridon referee a volleyball match, critiqued golfers teeing off behind Grandpa and Grandma Eridon's house, and Stephanie and I even went out on a date!
