We flew to Ohio on July 14 and the next day we headed up to New York to see the Hill Cumorah Pageant and church history sites. We were able to go to the Joseph Smith Home and the Sacred Grove.
Then we headed over to Niagara Falls and Brandon and I got to ride the Maid of the Mist.
When we got back from New York it was Bran's BIRTHDAY...He turned 5 on July 18! He got to have two full days of Birthday fun, which included a toy story cake, a trip to Chuck E Cheese and a pinata. Some of his favorite b-day gifts were a new DS and a real fur kitten.
Later that week we decided to check out a children's museum in Cleveland. It was pretty ghetto on the outside and we wondered if we should even go in...we decided to go in, and the kids were in LOVE! They had so much fun, they were totally bummed when we told them it was time to go.
But no worries, they had plenty of fun swimming and fishing at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Also, Grandma took the boys to the Dollar Store which kept them very happy.
We also had a lot of fun visiting with family (Great Grandma's Ketterman and George, Randy, Carla, and Jodi, Joyce, Nickcole and boys, and also Uncle Danny).
We flew home on July 24 and our boys did a great job flying...it was a fun vacation, but I guess it's time for real life now.....time to have responsibilities again!
