ohio

Friday evening we drove the boys and Ava out to Ohio for Charlie's family reunion. Everyone did really great in the car. I wasn't sure how the seven hour drive would go with a five year old, three year old and three month old added into the mix. We stopped about two hours in for dinner and hit the road again. The boys were in their pjs since we'd be arriving so late and it helped them feel more comfortable while sleeping. We were welcomed by Uncle Dave and family late into the night. We had a nice visit with Great Granny and Great Grandpa W - they finally met Ava - and a fun meat-filled cook-out and Titan's cap fashion show with Joey and Ann Marie on Saturday night (don't ask! just imagine lots and lots of varieties of meat being injested by two grown men and Joey literally modeling every Titan's cap he owns! Good times, good times!). Sunday Charlie was able to play with his uncles - a little bags, some basketball. The kids and I spent lots of time in the pool and plenty of people were willing to hold Ava and keep an eye out while she snoozed in the pack-n-play. Sunday around 6:30 we were back on the road heading home to Chicago. Logan was asleep before we left the parking lot and Ava and Carter not long after. We saw three rainbows on our way out of Cleavland. Thank you Dave and Natalie for allowing the five of us to take over your crib! We had a great weekend and loved seeing you all!
