Indiana Part II

We're back in Portland after our one-week trip to Indiana. The plane ride back went surprisingly great! Stanley is now adjusting to the 3-hour time difference. He's so happy to see his daddy! But we definitely miss Indiana Grandma and Grandpa. What a memorable and meaningful trip!


Stanley learned how to play pool from Grandpa.


He even got to try it out for himself!


Our flight left at 6 a.m., so we were up early!


Stanley met a friend, Ella, on the airplane. She is also 14 months old. They played together over the seat. He shared his toys with her and even gave her a hug.

Indiana Part I

Stanley is on his first trip to Indiana visiting his Grandma and Grandpa. We're a little more than half-way done with our trip, and here's what's happened so far!

Stanley was really good on the plane rides out to Indiana. He loved playing with the pretzel bags!

Grandma and Grandpa had a bunch of toys ready for Stanley, including my old Little People that I played with when I was his age.

Stanley finally got to meet his Uncle Matt, and he really like listening to him play guitar. He even signed, "more," when Matt stopped playing.

We went to McCloud Nature Park in North Salem for a hike. It was 75 degrees!

Stanley had so much fun playing in the piles of dry crisp leaves.

Walking through a beautiful Indiana prairie

Stanley ate his first White Castle (and he ate the whole thing)!

We visited Conseco Fieldhouse where the Indiana Pacers play and went to the Home Court gift shop.

We got to see the court.

Since there wasn't a game going on, Stanley was running through the lobby where it was wide-open.

Stanley thought the pictures of Boomer, the Pacers mascot, were really funny. He saw a Boomer stuffed animal in the gift shop and gave it a hug.

It's Fall at OMSI

We went to OMSI today, and Stanley had a blast playing in the leaves in front the museum.
