Ohio State Fair and Family

We were able to find a time to go visit family in Ohio for the summer.  It sure was nice to see everyone and the kids really enjoyed seeing everyone Great Grandma, Cousins, Great Aunt's and Great Uncles and Aunt Audie too was able to come from New Jersey to see the kids.  We did a lot of just hanging out but our big day out was to go the the Ohio State fair and to be honest we were not impressed the Iowa State Fair makes Ohio's look like a small county fair for lack of better words.  Anyhow the kids enjoyed the animals we found Brutus and we also got to see the Buckeye guy while at the fair.  The weather was a bit hot so we only spent about half a day but really that was all that was needed to see everything.

We had a bit of fun with the tablets and played a lot of games "drawsomthing" was my fave however Xavier really liked the water game.  On our last morning The Grandma's came to send us off and we were able to snap a few shots of the kids and them and this being the best however not great it was tricky just getting the kids to sit still a min.

I know Great Grandma enjoyed see the kids she keeps talking about how we are all growing up so fast and it seems just like yesterday when the big kids were tots.  I wish we live a little closer to make the trip more often but we make the best of what we do have.  The drive home was a bit long but we managed it in one piece and we spent the day following being lounge potato's...its amazing how tired you get from riding in a car.
