We headed to Columbus, OH on April 19th. Scott's brother is going to Ohio State and he and his wife invited everyone to their home to have a family reunion there. Little did we know Ohio was so much fun. I had a hard time deciding which pictures to leave out. I might end up making a video too because coming from a family of 6 Nikon cameras, there are so many pictures to choose from. We had a great time there and had awesome company.

This was the first Sunday we were all there. Trying to get 8 kids to look up for a photo is quite the challenge. But aren't they darling and unplanned color coordinated.

Monday was a trip to Berlin, OH to visit the Amish country. After touring Amish homes and stables, we all took a little horse and buggy ride. It was so beautiful there!

There were quite a few attempts at getting all the grandkids together. Again, unplanned color coordinated.

Tuesday, we took a beautiful hike to hocking hills. We hiked all around then ended up at the lower falls where the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves throwing rocks into the water. It was great weather to be hiking around water. Again, another beautiful spot.

Wednesday was Amy's birthday. We spent all day at the National Airforce Museum,

then topped it off with a nice birthday song and some yummy cheesecake homemade by Dan and Sarah.

Wednesday night we went to a park not too far away. The kids (kids meaning adults too) had a great time. Scott and Dan bought some little model planes that they put together and threw around. Then the boys came up with a ball throwing through a hole contest then took turns being the target. You hoped you weren't the one others were mad at for some reason.

Thursday we debated on strapping the kids in for another long car ride to Hirum and Kirtland, OH, but boy were we glad we did. It was such an awesome experience to visit some church history sites. This is the Johnson home where Joseph stayed for some time.

Then we drove to Kirtland and visited the temple and another church owned site where the N.K. Whitney store is. Again, very cool to be where the Prophet Joseph Smith was and received revelations.

Friday, after touring Dan's school, we went to a children's museum. The kids had a blast. There was a room with water (as you can see) and the kids could put rain coats on and play there. The raincoat really wasn't a protectant, Molly was still soaking by the time we left. At least she had a good time.
