We recently spent a weekend in Indianapolis, meeting up with extended family and enjoying the city. It was a beautiful weekend outside and Indy is such a lovely town. We spent the first day at the Indianapolis Zoo! That was loads of fun. It’s an impressive zoo and we’d never been before. We had a great group dinner out that evening as well. The next day, we explored downtown Indianapolis. We found some paddle boats and decided to give it a try. They are very fun! And they give your leg muscles a real workout. Erik’s phone managed to fall into the water as he was climbing into the paddle boat, which made for some good entertainment as we watched him try to fish it out with a “grabber” stick the staff had on hand (apparently he’s not the first to do this, haha. They said it happens multiple times a day). It took some group problem solving and teamwork but we got it out! And, it still worked! Phew.
