Ohio!!

 This past weekend we headed up to Ohio to visit Franklin's Granparents, Gigi and Pops, and to attend his cousins wedding reception!  We arrived Friday afternoon and went out for our traditional Marioms pizza, and then came back to the house!  Uncle Steve and Aunt Mary Jo stopped in to say hello and Grant was TICKLED! He loves them, and loves his Aunt to read Grover to him, she does the cool voices, unlike Mom!  The next morning we had breakfast and headed out to run a few errands and as you can see Grant got to pick out a treat, a Ninja Turtle costume!  He only came out of the mask to go to the wedding reception and occasionally to play outside!  He loved it!
 Saturday night we headed out to Rob and Karly's reception...











 As you can see in the back of the photo is a mound of cupcakes...
 And this is what Cole did until time to serve cake.. he ran over to them and would say CAKE PLEASE!  This is the expression I got every time I told him, not yet!

 FINALLY, they cut the cake!


 Rob and his Mom, Joanne!
 Cole and Uncle Steve!  As you can see, Cole was not a fan of the loud music!
 After the reception we headed back to Gigi and  Pops house to play!  Franklin's cousin, Stephanie, and her husband, Sean, came by and the boys LOVED them!  We havent seen them in almost 5 years so it was a great treat to see them!


 Sunday breakfast at the snack bar!
 Grandma's beautiful garden!
 Sunday morning Gpa set up the sprinkler for the kids....
 and Cole was not a fan, he hates water in his face.
 Grant loved it though!





 Grant is so sweet, he was encouraging Cole to come play, such an awesome brother!
 More reading with Mary Jo!
 After some water play we headed out to Youngs Dairy in Yellow Springs, it was so much fun.  I had issues downloading the pics from my phone but the boys had a GREAT time! We ate lunch there, went to the petting zoo and played in the bounce houses!  After that, we came back to the house and took naps to gear up for a cookout!  When the boys woke up, Pops was outside fixing ice cream and they LOVED watching him!




 I love this picture!  Cole loves to "help" and watch you cook, he will run up to you with those sweet little arms, hold them up and say "See, too?" or "Cook, too?"

 The boys getting ready for bed, watching the Lorax!

 Some randoms from my phone..   The drippy, yummy ice cream from the dairy farm!
 Sleeping in his Ninja Turtle mask!
And the little booger that never napped in the car!


We had a great visit and look forward to seeing everyone again!
