Trek to Ohio

We were missing family, so we drove to our closest set:

Ben & Amanda & Owen

Ohio

11 hour drive!

This little cutie quickly became Jack's little buddy! Layla also had fun having someone else around that is her size.

WE LOVE COUSINS

The days were cold, but when the sun would peek out, the boys would find their way outside: chalk art, playground, hiking!

(I realize that I have no pics of adults... oops!)

Thank you Owen for letting Josh and Jack sleep in your toy room, and fall asleep with your sock monkeys!

On our way home, we passed by Chicago. One day, when it's warmer, Dan and I will head back there for a much needed vacation.

Of course we had to try Chicago style deep-dish pizza.

SO YUMMY!!

We are lucky to have boys who will sleep just about anywhere. Layla is not so easy, but will sleep in any crib as long as she has her favorite pink blanket.

And to send us on our way - a breakfast fit for a 'King!'

(can you guess where we are?)

Everyone did a great job staying patient and happy. This was a good test run before our really LOOOONG drive to Utah in a bit. As long as the truckers pay attention to the boys who are begging them to pull their horns, we should be just fine!

Thank you Ben and Amanda for letting us totally invite ourselves to your home!
