Grandpa's Visit

Grandpa Hawkes dropped by for a weekend visit. The weather was in the high 70's to 80's all week. We did a lot of playing outside and put many miles on our bikes. We surprised Lucas a visit to school during lunch. Isaac was away with his class on a field trip.

Grandpa and Lucas having a stare down contest. Ariel is very fond of these little games.Grandpa and I ran around the lakes in the neighborhhood while we pushed Elsie and Ariel rode her bike. We spent some time trying to feed the ducks but they were not interested.
The canal in downtown Indianapolis is colored green on St Patrick's Day and we decided to go and take a look. It was bright green.
We made green velvet cupcakes to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Isaac reading and snuggling with grandpa. Grandpa quickly falls asleep.A couple of hours after we left the canal downtown, 5 people were shot there, two in bad shape.

So sad about those shootings. I'm glad you weren't there still when it happened.
And wow. Carmel is so beautiful! We miss it!

I never knew Indianapolis was such a beautiful place. I love the canal - especially in green! And I think I've said this before, but your dad is an awesome grandpa.

Looks like a lot of fun and beautiful weather, too. That's so scary that people were shot right after you were there. Freaky.

What a nice neighborhood. Carmel, not Indy. Shootings are scary. Carmel looks like lovely and so family friendly.
