The Holiday weekend had more in store for us than the 4th of July! We traveled to Ohio to the area where Jer's grandpa grew up, and where his family still lives, for a reunion. It was a long drive but we stopped often to let Delaney run around and stretch her legs! She kept busy in the back seat building block towers, coloring and watching DVD's.. mostly Baby Signing Time! She also picked our travel weekend to go on food strike and put not much more than milk into her little body..... toddlers!

On the 4th of July we were treated to an awesome ride on the lake in a pontoon with Nana's cousins. Delaney loves boat rides... and it was fun to be out on the water! We hit up a local spot for lunch that looked out on the lake before heading to meet Jer's Great Aunt and Uncle for a tour of the area. We got to see the house where Jerry's Grandpa grew up and other highlights of the area... including Nana's cousin Johnny Bill who had horses and newly born puppies. I am still surprised Tammy or Tina didn't bring one of them home! They were cute! We enjoyed some yummy pizza with the family before heading back to wait for the fireworks. It poured rain for so long we thought they might not have any fireworks... but they did...so we stood by the lake in the drizzle and watched them! Delaney was so tired but she enjoyed them and liked to say "boom" after each one.

Sunday was the reunion so we packed up and headed to the park. The weather was beautiful and Delaney enjoyed the slides, swings and rocking animals at the park. It was fun meeting all of the family and I am glad we all were able to go. We're looking forward to next year and making a trip out of it.. going to see some other things in the states nearby!

Thanks Mary and Junior! and Thanks Tina and Tammy for the pictures... I was too busy chasing after Delaney so I appreciate you sharing!
