The Cummins Connection

 Visiting my Uncle Jerry and Aunt Betty in Ohio, on our way back from Indianapolis. 




Jerry and Betty hosted a fun dinner for us. Candy and Kelly and a few of their kids dropped by too.  It was was wonderful to visit together after so many years.

Brad and I traveled to Indianapolis for an ASQ conference.  He was a featured speaker and ran a workshop for 2 1/2 hours.  His presentation  went really well and he packed the house.  I just tagged along.  Each morning I would drop him off at the Conference Center, and then go back to the hotel and workout, then try and be good and study for a couple of hours.  We would meet each afternoon and tour the town and  see the sites.  We ate dinner someplace new every night.

 Biking on the White River State Park

 We brought our bikes and rode the trails by Purdue University, the Indy Zoo and and up the White River.
INDY 500
We couldn't visit Indianapolis without a stop and the track.  It's huge- and the bus tour around the track was way too slow!!!

Easter Egg Hunt!   




 Evy in the tulips.



 Jumping with Papa
Too bad someone forgot to tell the Easter Bunny that it is too cold outside for an egg hunt!  It was sunny- but bitter cold.  It made for a quick hunt.

Spring Break 2013


WISP Tubing Fun



Little Evelyn was so good- and so quiet.  When we asked her if she was having fun- she was just quiet.  Finally, she melted down and cried and cried, because she was freezing.  Poor baby.  It was wet heavy snow and she was soaked.  A cup of hot chocolate warmed her up.







Fun in the SNOW for Spring Break!
