our week long trip to ohio to vist my family
told through pictures

josh made this wooden seat up in the tree in my mom's front yard when he was little. aunt jac took max up there one morning and he loved it. he asked to eat his pancakes up there with grammy (mimi he calls her) the next morning and, of course, she let him.

jac loved her mcdonalds fisher price playset (drive-thru and all) when she was little. it has a real  sizzling grill for burgers and fries. it is so cute and realistic. my mom saved EVERYTHING from when we were young. she cleaned it up before we arrived. it was definitely max's favorite thing too. he would say cook each time he wanted to play with it. here he is making ice cream and filling drinks with ice.

grandmom and grandad came to visit. he loved showing off for them.

twins in their yellow shirts. he loves his daddy.

LOVES aunt jac (sounds more like aunt gac)

so sweet talking together in the lily garden. he never did see the huge snake that lives in there.

kisses all the time.

aunt jac was teaching him how to do cartwheels. he is really good at doing somersaults and so cute.

future bride and groom. my best friend from college, shelby's, little girl, emery. love her!

emery, shelby, parker, me, and max

we met my mom's best friend, georgia, and her grandson, cooper (who is the son of one of my good childhood friends, shayla), at the world famous jack hanna columbus zoo. it is almost too big to get around when you have a child who still naps. this was the amazing polar bear exhibit.

cooper and max at the petting zoo. he loves it everytime.

train ride with mommy and daddy.

aunt jac took him on a pony ride.

checking out the manatees with grandpere. he loves exploring with his grandpere.

notice the evil look on max's face. it takes him awhile to get warmed up to other kids.

yikes. watch out cooper.
