Touring Lafayette

It's been a few weeks now, but finally, I'm getting a chance to tell you about our trip to Lafayette. We spent about 2 days there--visited Corey & Jen, walked around downtown Lafayette a little, and also went to the Columbian Park and Zoo on both days.

We cooked out hamburgers with Corey & Jen on Sunday night while Tyler slept. I wouldn't exactly call Jacob and Matthew the best of friends, cause they both seemed to think the toys were theirs, and only Jacob was right! :-) Tyler was kind, however, and gave Matthew a juice box. We went to the revamped ZOO portion of Columbian Park on Sunday.

Monday's highlight (July 2) was a trip to the water park, Tropicanoe Cove. Sure wish they had something like that here! Well priced and "easy", meaning, not a major amusement park. Matthew was a little nervous about the water; can you tell from the picture? We spent most of our time innertubing on "Cattail Crik" a lazy, winding river. They had single and double inner tubes and Matthew started out with Dad, but ended up with me. It was LOADS of fun. We never made it to the other areas because Matthew was afraid of the water. He also rode the train both days, being in his train phase. He loved that, and it only cost about 75 cents a ride.

We stayed at the Comfort Suites both nights. That's where Betsy and Don stayed with Annie. We had already checked out by the time we decided to stay in Lafayette, and the Comfort Suites had an indoor pool. Matthew got a real kick out of that! He felt better, there, somehow.
