Ohio!!!!

We recently made our annual trip over Halloween and again, we had a blast!

Friday we were able to drive to Angola to see Mike's sister's new house, then head to the Wayne Trace High School football game to see old friends. We FROZE... but loved it! There were even a few of my Paulding friends there!

Saturday we met up with Mike's Mom and Step-Dad for a family gathering. The kids had a blast using Grandpa Chris as a jumping gym, and riding the 4 wheeler in the yard. Jarrick managed to raid the alcohol cabinet which consequently led to sibling shots!! Oh My!

Later that afternoon we went to Mike's Dad & Step-Mom's house for trick-or-treat with the rests of the family, followed by a fun bonfire in the backyard. The kids look forward to this every year, and this year was no different!

That left Sunday for us to visit with my Dad and Step-Mom and not be rushed. I treasure every minute with them and always hate to leave. It was great to see that he looks so good and Cassie is still taking great care of him!

We also spent some time with Grandma Molitor and Grandma Lyons. Mike just melts when he's with them and is always a sweet thing to see the love he has for each of them!

Mike took early Saturday morning to visit the cemetaries in Payne. He has a few dear high school friends who have lost their lives too early, and he spent some time with Grandparents who have already died. The photos of him at each gravesite bring tears to my eyes... he is such a rock, it's rare to see him just quiet and somber.


Until next year...
