Summer of New Experiences

As you may know, the Batterson family has a summer theme every year. This year it's the summer of new experiences. We had lots of them today! A cross-country roadtrip is certainly one of them. It was really fun driving through the heartland of America on Route 31 from Indy to South Bend.

We also spent half a day at the Indiana State Fair. Ate an elephant ear. Josiah thought it was really the ear of an elephant! He also went on his first rollar coaster ride. We didn't just see cows. We stepped in cow dung. Did a little go-karting. Drank lots of lemonade. And took a few loops on the ferris wheel. There is something about going to a fair that makes you feel more American!

Topped things off with some pie from Baker's Fresh. I spotted one tonight and I couldn't resist getting a little pie. We don't have them in DC. That used to be a tradition after church services when I was growing up! Here's to Lemon Meringue pie!

No pie in DC? In the whole city? What kind of hell is that?
