Family trip to Ohio!

The last week of May we went to Cleveland for Taylor's brother Josh's graduation from medical school. It was such a blast and we made so many fun memories. I don't even know where to begin, but we took tons of pictures so enjoy! (The few below are pictures from out little camera...its so nice to have around, but doesn't take great pictures!)

The baby slept on the airplane the whole way there!

Niagra falls...

The "Maid of the Mist" 

The Indians Game...it was a blast!

We went to this sweet indoor water park. The baby loved the water

We played corn tossing a lot outside. The weather was great, not too hot or humid.

We drove up to Palmyra on Sunday after church. We started with the visitor center and Hill Cumorah. It was such a special place. 

I have like a million pictures of Paxton in his stroller...the poor babies spent a ton of time in those things! He was always so happy though!

We went to the Sacred Grove and the Smith Family Farm on Monday morning. Of course I LOVED this sweet sister, her testimony was wonderful and she did such a great job.

I love this picture of Rylee listening so intently

Oh the sibs!

Are we all matching? Yes...ha ha we took family pictures in the Sacred Grove. I'm too lazy to post them here too so feel free to check out my photography blog here.

Monday we also drove up to Niagra Falls. I had been before, but I loved it just as much again, and that probably was one of my favorite things this trip. Tuesday we had kind of a relaxing day. The boys headed to the NFL hall of fame and the girls went shopping. We went to the Indians game that night. Wednesday was the waterpark and here were are at Thursday at Amish Country. The pictures below are of a place called Rolling Ridge Zoo. Its run by Amish. Its pretty much a sweet zoo that you can feed all of the animals. I couldn't believe it!

The animals hear the wagon coming and all start running towards you! These little potbellied pigs were hilarious!

 This is Humphries the camel. He was NOT shy...

 I can't remember what this thing was called but he stole my bucket right out of my hands!

This was our cute little driver...he was pretty funny and even let Rylee drive the wagon.

Look at that tongue!

They also had a little petting zoo

Friday we visited Kirtland. It was neat to see the Temple. It is always so interesting to feel the difference in the Spirit. We had a great tour guide there. 

We went to the LDS visitor center next. Loved the sisters again:)

The NK Whitney store

The Mill

The Ashery

Weirdest picture of Taylor ever...the shadows hit just right. Ha ha

We then drove out to the John Johnson Farm. That was one of our other favorite things of this trip and Taylors #1. There was such a special spirit there and we had the coolest Senior Elder give us an amazing tour. Here are the little kids (and Josh) playing around after the tour. 

It was an amazing trip. We did so many amazing things and are so grateful for Taylor's parents. We loved being with the whole family. We laughed a lot and played a lot of games. It was fun to get to know Josh and Dina better. We miss them, but hopefully we can go visit them soon. They are moving to New Jersey for their Residency and hopefully we can go visit them and my sister Amy who also lives in New Jersey!
