Ohio Trip 2010

After leaving Wichita we headed on our 12 hour drive to Ohio. Things started a bit rock with an upset tummy for Madeline but after we got that solved things went great. She was a great travel partner!  It was nice and cool in Ohio with many rainy mornings. What a nice break before we headed back to Altus for the hot hot summer!

We were headed to Ohio for Great Grandma Erma’s 80th birthday party. It sure was a fun time seeing all the family together in one place.

The party sure wore Madeline out!

The rest of the trip we spent goofing around, eating, selling our old car, loving the new car, and just hanging out on Linda’s beautiful deck.

The traditional group shoot before Eric & Sally left for the airport.

What a fabulous trip but I don’t really look forward to another 15 hour drive with a 2 year old. :) Madeline was wonderful but gee whiz that is a long time in the car.

Today, we went to the dr. and heard baby Hot Dog’s heart beat. On Tuesday we have an ultrasound and will hopefully learn if this baby is a boy or a girl!
