Ohio State Fair

We went to the Ohio State fair last night and had an awesome time. If you ever get the chance to visit the fair I highly recommend going. There is so much to do for all ages. We saw the sheep, chickens, ducks, turkeys, cows, and horses. Andrew loved seeing all the animals. He was not a fan of trying to pet them though. He held on extra tight when we got close. We did go to the petting zoo part and he did like feeding all the animals. Here are a few pictures of our adventure.

4th of July Parade

We went to the Westerville 4th of July parade. Andrew loved the airplane that flew overhead at the beginning of the parade. I do have to say it was pretty cool. He also loved the firetrucks and the loud noise they made. He got a balloon from one of the groups and he would not let go of it. I think he has an obsession with balls and now balloons.

Visiting my Aunt Mary Pat and Uncle Jim.

I took a half day Friday and we went and visited with my Aunt Mary Pat and Uncle Jim. My cousin Colleen was even in town for the weekend so we got to hang out with her to. We had a really great time and were spoiled. The food was so good. I think Jason wanted to stay forever since he does not get home cooked meals like that from me =) We got to hang out by the pool and Andrew loved the water so he had a blast being there. On Friday night we went to the Dover Park and rode some rides. Andrew loved the train but hated the merry go round. It was not so merry for him =) He has learned what a duck says so every time he saw the duck he would say "quack, quack" It was cute.

Andrew's trip to the lodge

We went down to Athens a few weekends ago and took Andrew with us. My family joined us down for a mini family vacation and we had a blast. Andrew loved fishing, but did not really like touching the fish. My uncle Jim and Dad had a great time out on the lake catching fish. It was a much needed break from home. We ate really really well and enjoyed the company.
