Visit to Ohio

The weekend of June 8-10 the girls and I took a trip down to Ohio with my Dad and Chris to visit my brother and his family. It's about a three-hour trip so we tried to make it as fun as possible for the kids.

We left mid-morning - Nathan took our first trip picture for us (he had to stay home to work on Monday - boo!)

We drove about half way before stopping at a park so the girls could get out their wiggles. 





We made it to Steve & Jen's just in time for a very late lunch/early dinner. They had grilled veggies, hotdogs, and burgers so we feasted on that while the kids ran and played in their back yard. Kaitlyn had a ballet recital that night so  a few hours after we got there, everyone but me and the girls got ready and left for the ballet recital. (It's a good thing we did not go - it was 10pm before they got home - Chloe and Megan would have been beyond tired.) But, Kaitlyn looked adorable in her costume!




Sunday morning the girls played in Kaitlyn's room while the rest of us got ready for the day. 






Jen's parents invited us all over for breakfast. Our meal was delish! Eggs, potatoes, pancakes, breakfast (fake) meat, bagels, fruit, and juice. It was a beautiful morning so we ate outside on the back deck. The girls ran and ran in the yard.



Once we were all fueled up, the next stop was the zoo! The girls got to see animal characters plus all the real animals. We fed birds, saw kangaroos up close, saw bats, took a train ride, fed goats






















After the zoo we had dinner at Fiesta Jalisico - yum! We were starving and it tasted so good!



Then to Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams for dessert. (We have their ice cream cookbook so I was excited to taste their flavors!)








After we fueled the girls with sugar, we had more wiggles to release so we stopped at park for about 45 minutes to let them loose. Chloe loved it. She literally had a big grin on her face the whole time (evident on every single photo!) Megan went down her first slide with grandma.











After the park it was time for baths and bed! The next morning we had to head home, but we had one last meal together at Scramblers. Such a fun trip!
