4th of July in Ohio

We took our first 'family of 4' flight to Ohio for 4th of July.  I was a little apprehensive to make the trip; envisioning hours of melt downs from missed naps, accidents, spills, crying and chaos, but the boys proved me wrong.  They were absolutely awesome. No tears and pure excitement from both of them the entire trip.  It was a precursor for the whole weekend.  We had such a good time visiting with Mimsie & Popsie.  Everett loved being outside and getting loads of love from family.  James and Popsie were attached at the hip;  swimming, fishing, play trucks, exploring...the list goes on.  The kid never stopped smiling (well... either did Popsie:)  We had perfect weather; warm during the afternoon and cool at night.  We relaxed, talked, and enjoyed just being together.  It couldn't have went any better.

Next Stop Tickle Time with Popsie







It's such an amazing thing to see your kids enjoy your parents.  It's like looking back in time; a view through the looking glass at life when you were little.  I can instantly see 30 years lift off the grandparents when grand kids are around.  I'm sure Mimsie and Popsie collapsed in pure physical exhaustion for days when we left, but I know they loved every minute...as did we.
