Washington DC

We visited Luke's Sister in her new home near DC, and had a great time. Ben and Cole were inserparable. They had blast playing together-it would be fun to live closer. The boys enjoyed riding the metro, we saw the museum of Natural History, the Zoo, and we played hard in the water whenever possible. The Washington DC Temp was my personal favorite, Wow!! We also sold our house while we were visiting. What a relief!! We have to be out by Thanksgiving which gives us a week to fend for ourselved in Ohio-fun.

Touch a Truck Day

My boys love trucks!! The city put together a fun activity where the children got to play in a variety of different trucks. They had tow trucks, buses, fire trucks, etc... The real race care was definitely the hightlight.

Ohio State Fair

Alec loved the animals the most. He can say every animal sound now, and acts like a little monkey most of the time.


Ben loved the Race Car Ride the most-suprise, surprise!!. I have a huge race care fan on my hands!

Salt Fork Camping

We just had a wonderful time camping at Salt Fork State Park. The boys had a blast!! We play put-put, we played on the beach and in the lake, and best of all we had a campfire with smores. The boys did better than we expected sleeping in a tent. We just had to go on a drive every night before bedtime, which ended up being a deer viewing. I have never seen so many deer in one place before. Ben especailly loved all the baby deer, and it was the first time I have seen a buck in the wild. Ben keeps asking everyday if we can go camping tomorrow. We are getting excited to camp with family next summer.
