Busy Day

Yesterday my oldest granddaughter had a day off from school

and my daughter & I decided to make it a fun day.

 We headed east and checked out the Crystal Arch in downtown Anderson, Indiana

Next we ate lunch at the Lemon Drop, a 1950's diner.

 We sat at the counter, spinning on the stools,

 eating toasted cheeseburgers & sipping chocolate cokes.

 They gave us lemon drops too!

 Just a few miles away is Mounds State Park, so off we went.

Outside the Nature Center is a dugout canoe for the kids to check out.

And a children's sensory garden as well.

Inside where lots of animals,

 such as this box turtle peeking out from under a log.

And this whiskered catfish.

 

We took a short hike along the river.

Where even a 1 year old can appreciate nature.

Our last stop was Good's Candy Shop

for ice cream!
