Fall in Ohio

Earlier this month we spent a week in Ohio visiting our families. Our first stop was at my parents' house. They're having renovations done throughout the house, so we did our best to keep the boys entertained elsewhere. Lucky for us there were lots of fall festivals going on! The first day, after fueling up on some donuts, we headed to Lake Farmpark. Afterwards, we built a fire and attempted to make s'mores before we got rained on. (I didn't bring my camera on the trip, so stole most of these pictures from my parents and in-laws.)



The next day, we went to a festival put on by Hiram House.






The following day we went in to Coventry for lunch at our favorite restaurant, Tommy's, and then headed to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.





My mom had to work the next day, so we brought the boys to see her school and meet her students, and then went to Patterson's Fruit Farm to get some apples and pumpkins.






Our final day was spent at the house, playing on the roller coaster and taking rides on the tractor. We had a wonderful visit with my parents!



After our time in Cleveland, we went to Mike's brothers' house for a night. The boys were beyond excited to play with their cousins and meet the newest addition, Bennett. 
Our final destination was Mike's dad's house for a few days. A very pregnant Ann, Felix, and Isaiah stayed there with us, as well as Liz and her her kids, Jenna and Garrett. Brian, Emily, Brayden, Blake, and Bennett also came for one night, so needless to say it was a crazy house! The kids had so much fun playing with all of their cousins, exploring Grandma and Grandpa's huge yard (a scavenger hunt and obstacle course included), going to the bird sanctuary, and of course helping make pies!




Our flight back home ended up being delayed by a couple hours...here's a picture of Grant and Mike trying to keep busy at the airport (like father, like son)!
