A day in Ohio

We took off on Friday after Jeremy got off work, spent the day in Ohio on Saturday, and drove home on Sunday. It was a quick trip, the girls are total rockstars at traveling, and we were completely exhausted.

Some highlights from our trip:

Carly drew our family on this marker board.

Uncle Clayt got to come with us! Carly and Emma are huge fans of Uncle Clayt so any time they get to see him they get so excited. Carly and Emma chilling and watching a movie. Jeremy trying to sleep. Little did I know, every 30 seconds Carly was asking him, "Daddy, done with you nap?"

I hate when rest stops don't have changing tables! Ugh. This cutie is fine laying on the pillow to get changed though.

Breanna and Anton told us to let them know when we got up Saturday morning so they could head over and play all day. So we snapped this picture and sent it to them.

Some things never change. They are looking for Easter eggs! haha Franki and Dana didn't find all of them so Korbin and Clayt found some.

Carly runs into the house while her, Olivia, Katelyn, and Emma were playing outside, "uh Papa, we ride the four wheeler please?!!!" Of course he hooked up a little trailer and drove them around. I ran out and snapped a picture when I saw Jeremy driving the four wheeler. 

Papa walking Carly out to help her get back on the trailer behind the four wheeler for another ride.

Their first wedding reception together.
One of Franki's friends got married the weekend we were there and we made it to her open house.

Typical lunch by themselves so they could get naps and play some more.

Oma and Papa pulled out some toys for them to play with. Legos were a huge hit.

Weldon's is always on our list when we go to Ohio. 

Emma, Franki, Katelyn, and Lane

Carly and Oma

Emma was pretty excited to get her own ice cream cone. Jeremy was smart and grabbed a bowl and spoon so she could actually eat it.

Of course Carly wanted a chocolate ice cream cone.

Emma's big cheese face, Franki and Lane

Oh dear. I asked these goofs to look at me to get a picture and this is what I get. haha They were pretty squished in the booth.

Almost got all the kids! (And a few in laws). My parents had 6/7 of their kids together for a day. (Dana was at home getting ready for her play that night). Ammon is the only sibling missing. He is on a mission!

There is a juke box at Weldon's that Clayt kept pulling quarters out of Dad's coat pocket he had on and playing some music. haha It gave the girls and Oma a chance to dance.

An arm wrestling contest was also on the Dad's list of things to do. haha Jeremy vs. Anton.

Lane vs. Korbin

And then Clayt vs. Dad.

Korbin vs. Dad for semi-finals.

Dad wasn't quite ready when Korbin took him down. Jeremy let go of their hands and Korbin moved Dad's arm down so fast. haha

The final two. It was quite the battle.

I am proud to say JEREMY WON!!! It was so fun and I got it all on video.

Dana in her play. She totally took the show. She has a beautiful voice! The girls sitting behind me obviously didn't know we were related to Dana because they kept talking about her. All good things. But I thought it was funny. "oh man, that Dana Keller is so good. I can't believe she is only a Junior. I thought for sure she was a Senior." 

The star of the show!

Some things never change. Clayt's nickname growing up was Buggy. If we ever saw a bug we would yell 'buggy'! and he would come running with a tissue to kill the bug. haha He went into the food storage room, got the ladder, and climbed up to kill the bug that was on the ceiling.

Good bye Uncle Clayt! Thanks for coming with us!
