Put In Bay, 2011!!

Tuesday, 05 July 2011 21:54 Written by Matt 0 Comments

Family vacation #3, and we made a repeat visit to Put In Bay and stayed about 4 doors down from where we were last year! Mom & Dad have been bugging us to go on an extended Harp family vacation for a couple years now, and thankfully we talked Mom out of Gatlinburg :)

We had a lot of fun, with lots of golf cart rides, ice cream and swimming! Mom & Dad took the kids one night so that we could do some bar hopping with Elaine & Kelli which was good. Cassie took the following weekend to recover, they all got to bed late and she was unable to function as a non-annoying person after only sleeping for 10 or so hours.

Soccer, Ava’s First Season

Wednesday, 11 May 2011 21:13 Written by Matt 0 Comments

Early in the spring, before monsoon season struck, we signed Ava up for soccer with the WOAC. She waffled between excited and nervous but in the end we think she enjoyed it. The cost was annoying, $90 for essentially 3-4 practices and maybe 4 games because of all the rain.

Our most popular piece of advice from the coach was (said during a game) “Ava, stop playing with your hair. You can do that after the game!”

Yep, she's really into the game!

Ready for action!

We dye eggs every year, something to do for a couple hours on a rainy weekend this year.

Easter Egg Hunts

We hit the Mercy HS egg hunt and then the one at Harvest Home. The latter was pretty weak; they didn’t have enough eggs, we picked a bad starting spot and Lily and Ava went 0-fer. They did have the creepiest Easter Bunny costume I’ve ever seen!

Cheep, cheep!

More tattoos!

Indianapolis Children’s Museum

I had some “use it or lose it vacation” so took the day off and we headed for Indy. We have a membership to the Cincinnati Children’s Museum, and it’s pretty fun, but the Indy museum was even better! If you get a chance, be sure to check out the Barbie wing and The Power of Children exhibit. We spent the whole day there, and didn’t even get through the whole thing!
