Ohio!

Spencer went to Ohio to visit my Dad for his 50th Birthday. We were gone for 10 days. Grandma Laura donated us some frequent flier miles. We had a blast visiting everyone. The weather was so nice. Even though it was 90 out, there was no humidity. Playing at the parks and everything else was a little refreshing.

These shots are from Boonshoft Children's Discovery Museum. There were a ton of hands on activities. This is a pretend truck that Spencer spent the majority of his time in.

This is the landfill/recycling area. Dad had a hard time trying to pick up the "trash" with the digger thing (I'll learn all the truck names when Spencer is older..I'll have to!). Dad said that it needed a little oil.

Spencer playing with Legos for the first time. I was so surprised when he didn't put any in his mouth!

The tongue is out again! He is back at that play truck, this time he is driving it.

This is the rocking horse that Dad made me when I was a little girl. He got it out of the basement while Spencer was in the tub. As soon as his bath was over he was out like a shot! I didn't have time to get him into PJs or dry him off!

More nakedness on the horse!

On the Saturday of our tip we went to Dad's best friends house, Terry. He was having a BBQ. He also has his own pond with a swimming area. I forgot to bring Spencer's trunks and swim diapers, so I let him get in with his t shirt on with a regular diaper, which soon turned into the world's largest diaper!

Before he decided that he wanted to get in the water. Dad and Terry blowing up swim toys for all the kids.

Spencer playing football with Aunt BB.

On Sunday we went o watch Dad dirt bike ride. Spencer was a little scared of the bikes. They were really loud! Dad's bike is the red one.

We went kayaking too! Dad wanted to take Spencer out with him, but Spencer only wanted to ride with me. So we went out and took a spin around the pond. We saw a gaggle of Canadian geese. It was so cool. I sang him the Canoe Song (we learned it in music class) while we paddled around.

After our Dip, Dip and Swing!

I just love this picture. I asked him to smile for me and I got all teeth!

We also went to Wright Patterson Air Force Base Museum. He loved the airplanes.

Here is is touching a "Snoopy Nose" plane. He was a little afraid at first.

Ohio was a fun trip. It was nice to get away and not have to worry about the everyday routine.
