Indianapolis - Day 3

After a good night's rest, Carter was back on the mend and Parker was still his chipper self.  We had made many short walks around the canal area with Grandma and Grandpa, this morning we were determined to show Mom what we had previously explored.  So off we went...

Not before getting Dad a much needed coffee and getting the boys tucked in, in their stroller (the mornings were a bit chilly).

We walked the entire canal to the river, crossed over the river and walked the length of the Zoo and through the IUPUI University Campus.  It was a long walk, but very nice along the river.

On the way back we met up with Grandma and Grandpa again, we held onto our duck bread till we met with them.  As you can tell, our feathery friends were getting to know the boys pretty well by this point.

We met up with everyone who was still in town for a brunch with the newly wedded couple.  We were able to get all the little ones to hold still and smile for a great photo of 4 generations of the West Family.

Parker spent a good hour trying to figure out how to bite an apple.  Luckily he finally got the hand of it and went to town...  while concentrating on the apple, he lost track of Mom... where did she go?

Is she under the table?    YUP!

It was a beautiful afternoon and we decided to go as a group back to the canal and rent some paddle boats.  The boys had a blast.  Once they realized they could splash, they never stopped.  Luckily they provided little drag to Grandma and Grandpa who were our boat's horsepower.

Soon it was back to the room to again lets the boys rest/nap.  We knew Carter was back to his old self when all he wanted to do was get dizzy with Parker in the desk chair after everyone was awake.  

To finish a great time with friends and family, we all walked to California Pizza Kitchen and had an impromptu pizza party.

Soon it was time to say our good byes.  Carter and JR really got along together well, I know both are looking forward to seeing each other, hopefully sooner than later.
