Ohio will always be home for Josh and I. It's where we grew up, have our roots and it holds a tender spot for us as we fell in love and started our life together.
We went up to Hudson and took the girls with us. We gave them the "grand tour". They were probably bored out of their skull and eyes rolling hearing about our old life, but we told them anyway!
We went to see my old house...and the same basketball hoop that Steve fixed 30-some years ago was still standing!
Then to see Josh's and some dear neighbor friends.
Had lunch in the "new" downtown area with my precious Alison. It was SO good being together, even if it was a short visit. Oh how I miss her!
Here we are doing our "famous" sister pose from college.
We went to visit Josh's bestie Erik and his SIXTH baby that was just recently born. He will always be a treasured friend. They have been buddies since kindergarten.
We hiked around our old favorite hiking place/lake with the girls. Hudson Springs Park.
Couldn't resist taking them for our favorite--THE best pizza EVER.
(THE worst picture, sorry.)
We surprised Lauren with tickets to Cedar Point amusement park for her birthday.
Oh my,
we had a blast!
The folks were all set with their scooters. They were stylin' on those wheels I tell ya!
(Um, this place was huge.)
This was a far as Grandpa went for rides. The ferris wheel.
This is how far Lauren (and Josh) went for rides.
Oh. My. Word.
Hannah and I just watched.
We decided that Lauren was fearless.
The next day we took a ferry ride up to Put-n-Bay. A cute little island on lake erie with restaurants, beach, shopping.
Met up and hung out with Wes and Lara.
Here's the gang. A bit pooped out and ready for the ride back down south.
For more Amish food.
LOL.
