Ohio

We got back from our trip to Ohio this past Sunday and I don't think we are yet back to normal but are working very hard at it. We were there for 12 days and had a great visit. Kris was able to take his Dad, Brother Jason, his cousin Jenny and good friend Brian to Washington D.C for the Virginia Tech BSU football game and they had a blast.
Lydia had so much fun playing with her cousins. It was so dang cute to watch how happy she was to have a playmate most every day. She absolutely loved Grandma and Grandpa and took full advantage of being around them. She played with them none stop as well. I took advantage of having Grandma around as I did a lot of relaxing which was great. The weather was perfect most days in the 70's and Fall like. Kris and I were able to sneek away for two dates, one to dinner and a walk up on Lake Erie and another to his alma mater Ashland University and to Amish Country. It was so nice to have together time.
On our flights home we had a LONG layover in Denver so we meet my parents for lunch, it was a special treat to be able to do so, despite how tired the 3 of us where. On our way back through security you would have thought I had the next atomic bomb, I had 5 TSA agents on me searching my bags (I had a back pack and her carryon and my purse) comes to find out Play-Doh is a Haz-Mat item and not allowed through Denver's airport, the funny thing is it made it through both Boise and Cleveland and on every other 30 flights we have taken since she was old enough to play with it. Made for an interesting experience.
Thanks to everyone who made our visit special, it was great to see you all and spend time with you.
