Family Time

Luke and I had a fun visit to Ohio! The cousins had a lot of time to be together. Luke felt right at home having the other kids around. In fact, when it was just him alone, he seemed lost. The plane ride on the way out to Ohio was uneventful and it helped that there was a young family with two children in the row across from us. We all had dinner together the first night at Mom and Dad's. We lined up all four kids at the table -- it was fun to see them all lined up. Luke had his first taste of pizza and loved it!

Here are some pictures of the kids playing the first night:

Kailyn, Caden and Xayne - tickle time with Uncle Kenny/Daddy

Caden adores Kailyn - he did a good job holding her and he loves to give her kisses!
The boys began playing as soon as Caden and Xayne arrived.
Day 2: Pool with Carrie and Kailyn and Mom

Here are Luke and Kailyn riding together to the pool.
Both Kailyn and Luke did a lot of observing when we first got to the pool. They loved watching the water. Luke crawled right in as soon as I took his cover-up off.

Day 3: Amish Country
We all went to Amish Country together -- to Yoder's General Store (Amish Wal*Mart), a neat toy store, and the Ashery. We had a yummy lunch at an Amish restaurant. We brought home two pies -- Strawberry Cream and Apple -- they were delicious! Grandma and Grandpa came over for dinner when we got home. It was a treat to see them too!
Here are pictures from our Amish outing:

We saw three baby calves -- about3-4 days old. They were cute! I couldn't resist taking their picture.
Here are some shot of us standing outside the store:
The kids had fun playing together again after dinner at Nana and Papa's house. Xayne is such a ham!
Day 4: We headed to Carrie's on Sunday afternoon and we all gathered there to play together one last time
Here are the three newest additions and their mommies
Thanks for all the fun memories from this past weekend! We miss you guys. We look forward to another fun visit to Ohio in August - this time with the whole family!
