In September Lucy and I took a last minute trip to Indianapolis to celebrate my Grandmother's 85th birthday. My parents travelled back there too and our visit was a complete surprise to my grandmother, which was very fun. It was a great opportunity to celebrate a special woman with our extended family. Here are some shots of some of the good times we had back in Hoosier territory.
