IMA

Last Saturday we spent our afternoon at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
Chris and I have always loved going there.
This was Wren's very first trip!
We ate lunch inside at Nourish Cafe...
it's seriously one of our favorite places to eat.
They use awesome ingredients in their dishes...
you know, free-range chicken, grass-fed beef, seasonal produce, sustainable and local products...
all of that stuff that is important to us and that we are a bit crazy about.  :)
Oh, and let me tell you, their food is sooooo yummy.
I ordered the cheese and asparagus ravioli with white beans, fennel, roasted tomato, squash, capers, rainbow carrots, and vegetable broth.
Chris ordered the open-faced pot roast sandwich with carrots, potatoes, and provolone.
He also got a bowl of chicken noodle soup with corn bread.
I love their corn bread!
As expected, Wren ate and enjoyed everything we ordered!

After lunch, we headed outside to the IMA's 100 Acres.
It was a beautiful day, so we strolled around the trails a bit.
After a while, we posted up in a shady spot, threw down a blanket, and let Wren play in the grass.
It was such a nice, relaxing afternoon!

Oh, and on the way home we passed a Dairy Queen***(see note below) offering the deal of the century.
Buy 6 Dilly bars, get 10 FREE!
I know, amazing, right?
So, after a quick pit stop, we were on our way home with 16 Dilly bars to go.
What are you going to do with 16 Dilly bars, you say?
Well, Chris has been trying to eat them morning, noon, and night.
No joke.
The other morning he woke up and asked if he could have one for breakfast.
Seriously.
I think he ended up eating 3 that day.
Fortunately, my friend Meghan had a cookout over at her house on Sunday, so we brought a bag of 8 over to share.
We may have one lone Dilly bar floating around our freezer somewhere, that is if Chris hasn't already gotten to it...

***Note:  Unfortunately, unlike Nourish Cafe, Dairy Queen DOES NOT offer local, sustainable, free-range anything.  But, despite popular belief, we still do sometimes eat it (the ice cream, anyway).  :)

Anyway... here are some pics from the day.
I wish I would have taken more, but I didn't... so this is what you get!

Wren excited to be strolling around the 100 Acres.


Family shot!
The 10 second camera timer is much too long for Wren to sit still, obviously.


At least this time she's not trying to get away!


Running around in the grass.


Daddy is trying to nap...


...not happening when Tickle-Moster-Wren is around!


She's trying to peek inside his arms at him.


Wake up, Daddy!


A drink, a snack, and a cell.
She's set.


Hold on a sec, Mom...
just gonna text Cousin Macy real quick.
:)

Ok, not only is Wren absolutely adorable, but your story about Dilly Bars sounds like heaven. I don't blame Chris for wanting to eat them any time of the day!
