Evan had a neurology appointment in Indianapolis last week. The kind of appointment that you drive three hours for and it only lasts twenty minutes and the doctor says, "Keep doing what you're doing and we'll see you back in about six months. Oh, and why don't we set up a MRI for you since it's been a while." Blah. It did give us a good excuse to surprise the kids and make this seemingly, miserable trip into a fun one. We had some Marriott Rewards points burning a hole in our pockets so we decided to drive down the evening before Evans appointment and stay the night in a hotel and get in some swim time. This happens to rank right up with Disney World where our kids are concerned.
Then we took it up another notch and took them to the children's museum for the day until time for the doctor. It was fun, fun, fun and the boys are at such good ages for it. No strollers or diaper bag! They loved the Bob the Builder exhibit, the playscape area, the carousal, and of course, the dinosaurs! It was so nice to feel like we were going to Indy for fun and just happened to stop by the Neurologist on our way out of town.
i think that's the perfect perspective!
ReplyDeleteFun Fun Fun! Your post kind of makes me miss Indy. And they brought Bob the Builder back?!? That was an exhibit just after we moved there (when Zane was only 1 1/2).
ReplyDeleteYour boys are stinkin' cute!
