Fun with Broderick

We spent the long weekend in Bloomington, IN visiting Uncle Todd, Aunt Traci, Brittany and Broderick. We had an amazing weekend that began by going out to dinner with Broderick at a nice restaurant overlooking Lake Monroe. We followed dinner up with a trip to the climbing gym. Trevor and the kids had never been climbing before and we were all excited to see Broderick climb. We all had a great time, but Kianna was the one that truly shined. She LOVED climbing and made it to the top multiple times, despite each climb getting progressively harder. Kaylee and Trace enjoyed the experience but were both a bit timid. The whole gym seems to stop when Broderick climbs. It is amazing how easy he makes hanging upside down on one arm look. He is a great climber!

The rest of our time was spent enjoying good company and the great outdoors. They have 13 acres of beautiful land. The kids absolutely LOVE going to Uncle Todd and Aunt Traci's house. They caught salamanders and frogs, went fishing, went kayaking, went paddle boating, and went hiking. Trace and Kianna were inseparable this weekend. They had a blast playing outside and especially enjoyed swinging in the hammock. Kaylee enjoyed the boating and was able to maneuver the paddle boat all by herself this year. In addition to the other fun activities; we played volleyball, corn hole and disc golf. It was one SUPER fun, sweaty and dirty weekend! We decided this was our version of camping. We got to enjoy the great outdoors, but spent the nights sleeping in comfortable beds and air conditioning. It was great! Thanks Todd and Traci for being great hosts. Until next year...
