Visit to Ohio!!

My mom, sister (Stephanie) and I decided to fly to Ohio for the weekend. Unfortunately, our husbands all had school or work, but we were excited to see Kevin, Rachel and the kids. Due to activities and scheduling, we didn't get to see everyone, but we were glad to get what we could take.

We went to a Chinese restaurant...

Benjamin ate frog legs and clams...

Adam and Grandma ate garlic shrimp (Adam LOVES shrimp)...

Caleb ate noodles...

And we all enjoyed every bite!!

We also went to the Cincinatti Zoo. But, as always, I forgot to bring my camera. So I will post when I get copies from Stephanie. So much fun and so much variety.

On Sunday, we decided to make a quick trip to Kirtland. What a great way to spend a Sunday. This was Stephanie's first visit, and I am so glad that we went. the 4 1/2 hour one way trip was worth it...

The plot that my Great Grandfather Vinson Knight lived on. The corner of Cowdery Street and Joseph Street...

The bend of the river were my Great Grandfather Anson Call was baptized at...

The Newel K. Whitney Store...this is my personal favorite place since I visited when I was 19...

The John Johnson Farm, the location of many spiritual experiences, along with being the place that Joe gained his testimony of Joseph Smith, and knew he needed to get baptized...

It was a blast to be with my family again!! I enjoyed them all so much. We played indoor games, played glove tag (we threw gloves folded together instead of a ball), and had a lot of time laughing about memories. I am so grateful for my family and the love that we have for one another. LOVE YOU!!

Here is a pic of a bird that slept outside of the front door. He was so stinkin' cute!!
