The Park

Since Jentry had such a good time at the parks in Chicago, Jack and I thought we should take her to one by our house. It was a beautiful day here this past Friday so, we did just that! She did seem to enjoy our park as much as the ones in Chicago, but we didn't have a teeter totter or a spring horse :( We need to keep searching for a park that has those toys too! Even without these toys Jentry still loved being at the park. She didn't want to leave.When we arrived Jentry was a little timid so I went up the ramp to the play equipment, she followed right behind and the rest was history! Here she is crawling through a tube toward Daddy!Jentry loves to swing! I think she would have sat for hours if we would have let her! She just giggles and giggles!
Jentry also enjoyed the many slides this park had to offer. I think she went down most of them.

Key West

After a rough summer of unknowns and then the luck of me landing a wonderful job, last week Jack and I were blessed to enjoy our first vacation without the Princess. Jentry was in good hands since she stayed with my brother and his family in Chicago, and as I've already posted had a wonderful time with them. We were so happy to have all of the daily updates from my sister-in-law, it made being away from Jentry much easier.

We enjoyed many of the places that Jimmy Buffett sings about in his songs. That was fun for us, now we can imagine exactly what/where he is singing about :) I wanted to share some pictures of our wonderful vacation to Key West. So enjoy!Jack and I posing at the Southernmost point of the Continental United States. From this point it is only 90 miles to Cuba!Jack and I on our mode of transportation for the duration of our stay in Key West...loved the tandem bike for the week, just not the LONG ride to the grocery store!Jenna standing atop of Fort Zachery Taylor. I think this picture Jack captured is pretty cool!One of the Coast Guard ships from Key West. We actually think this one might have been a museum, but we didn't check it out :)A picture of just one of the tons of Roosters that roams Key West. If you didn't know...I hate birds. I did not like the fact that these creatures were just roaming free all over the place!Jack and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Louie's Backyard. It was some of the best food we've had! Well worth the money if you ever go to Key West. We went to Mallory Square to watch the sunset one night and this is a picture Jack was able to take. I think this scene is just beautiful!
This was the sunset on our first night in Key West, again just a pretty picture.

Jentry's Chicago Visit

Jentry spent the past 5 days in Chicago with her Uncle Jon, Aunt Tonya, and cousins, Noah and Millie. From the pictures we received while we were on vacation in Key West, it sure looks like she had a fabulous time with the Kauffman family! Here are the pictures of her stay in Chicago...Wow, she is one spooky mummy! Gotta love this picture taken by Noah...after all he is only 4!Enjoying her pizza lunch!Enjoying her 1st carnival ride ever! Can you believe she got on this ride without a fight and loved it!!Noah pulling the girls back to the car after a long hot day at the pumpkin patch!Millie showing Jentry one of the many airplanes that flies over her house in Chicago.Aunt Tonya took Noah, Millie, and Jentry to the park each day. Jentry got to enjoy lots of fun toys. She liked the teeter totter. Jentry also got to enjoy some unseasonably warm weather while she was in Chicago!She also enjoyed riding on the spring horse. I guess we need to get our booty's to the parks around Central Indiana!By the end of the week Jentry and Millie were becoming good friends. Hopefully this carries on throughout the rest of their lives! I absolutely LOVE this picture of these two beautiful toddlers!

Uncle Jon and Aunt Tonya - Thank you for letting Jentry invade your house for the past 5 days. It was so nice to go on vacation and not worry about Jentry. We owe you :)
