Caroline and I spent last weekend with my parents in Zionsville (also known as Nana and Grandpapa). Somehow we managed to make it out of the weekend without a picture of Nana and Caroline!!! But, I can assure you that Nana and Caroline together makes a pretty adorable picture.
My mom had her knee replaced about a month ago, so we went home to hang out with her and cheer her up. Caroline was particularly sympathetic since she knows what it is like not to be able to move as fast as you would like!
Nana had a particularly good time making sure that Caroline got all of the food that she needed too!
While we were there my Dad and I walked down to the main street in Zionsville to let Caroline see a longstanding tradition--the Fall Festival. I hadn't been in years, so it was fun to see.
You can see the beginning of the parade in this picture. For some reason I was thinking that the sirens might scare Caroline.
As you can see, she was completely unimpressed. It was only once I saw this that I realized that this kid lives in the DC area. She's in day care 3 blocks from the White House. She hears sirens ALL the time. So, not only was she not scared, she thought the flashing lights were pretty fun.
The only Fall Festival tradition that Caroline didn't really get to enjoy is the candy that is given out. Here's a picture of Olivia walking in the parade. I got a bit of candy from her, but sadly I couldn't share with Caroline.
While we were home we also went up and visited our neighbor, Mrs. Paris. She has always been a wonderful neighbor. I used to spend hours at her house when I was a child.
When I was there, I used to look at the many antiques in her house. Caroline apparently thought that she should carry on the exploring tradition by checking out under the couch.
As with many grandparents homes, my parents have a few toys that are much better than the ones that Caroline gets to play with at home. This plane was a big hit. Caroline was a big fan of making the front spin all by herself.

All in all it was a great trip. Caroline was good on the plane. We missed Jack, but were really glad to have some time to see my parents!
