Ohio 2008

It's been about a year and a half since we were last in Ohio visiting Ryan's family. Here's a few shots to sum up our trip...we were there for one week, and everyone enjoyed themselves. I wish I could say the journey out there was uneventful but it wasn't, and we had to stay an unexpected night at the Sheraton Hotel in Atlanta, GA. It was a disaster, but we were happy to be there with family when we finally arrived.

Visiting Grandma Clay's grave at Washington Cemetary. We took Lucy here last time we came out to visit too, she enjoys it.

Ryan and Rowan the rebels not staying on the paved path. This is at an Indian Burial Ground called Serpent Mound. It's huge, 1000 years old, and was built at the edge of where a huge asteriod hit 300 million years ago. Pretty awesome.

Me! In Ohio :) Behind me is Cliff and Kari's (Ryan's folks) front yard. Notice the landscape behind me...flat flat flat.

Baby in Carhartts. Love thisi pic!

Rowan and her Great-Grandpa Clay, 'boopin' heads' as he calls it :)

Cousins!! Hailey (almost 4), Lucy (6.5), Paige (almost 7), Rowan (5.5 months). Hailey and Paige are Ryan's brother's girls, they all live in Virginia. Or, as I've taken a liking to calling it, Ole Virginny.

Uncle Justin with the girls!

Paige and Lucy. These girls have only seen each other a handful of time in their lives--literally, I think it's only been 5 times, in 7 years...we're hoping to change that pattern and get out there in another 6 months.
