We decided to take a trip to Ohio to see the family.  It has been 18 months since we have been back and our trip was long overdue!  The kids traveled so well on the airplane.  We had such a great time and packed a lot in in the short 5 days we were there.  We had to make our yearly pilgrimage to “The Hotdog Shop” to get the best hotdogs ever made according to Chris.  We had a pizza night with one of Chris’ buddies from high school, we played with cousins galore, had a birthday dinner/party for Josephine, visited Josey’s birthmom, had a bonfire and made smores, slept in, stayed up late and had a BLAST!  Spencer and Josey loved playing with their cousins.  Ethan, Spencer and Josey went on a tractor ride with Papa while he cleaned up the leaves.  Oh yeah; and the weather was beautiful!
