Ohio!

We have finally recovered from our weekend in Ohio.  We had a great time but let me just say that it was windy, snowing and 34 degrees when we took off from Cleveland.  We were very happy to see dad pick us up in Tucson wearing shorts and flip flops!

We got in kind of late Thursday night but I was absolutely wonderful the whole trip out.  I ate my lunch, watched movies, tried to run away from mom in the airport in Dallas etc.  I think we scared a bunch of people waiting for our plane in Dallas.  I was running up and down the concourse, yelling, rolling on the floor, climbing on the tables, jumping off the chairs but I calmed down and slept on the plane.  Mom had everyone around us tell her what a well behaved kid I was.  That made mom kind of proud.  Nana, Mr. Walker and grandma Walker all met us at the airport and we headed to Grandma's farm.

Mom and I slept until 9:30 the next morning.  Then we drove up to Lake Erie and had a great lunch and then I got to play on the big playground that I had all to myself.  No one else was out in the wind and 40 degree temperatures.  Do they know something I don't?

For dinner, we met Aunt Priscilla and Uncle John at Fort's Pub in Wellington for a Lake Erie perch fish fry.  That is kind of a tradition on Friday nights in that neck of the woods.  Mom and I also played "toddler pool".  That is basically a game of pool without the stick.  It was hours of entertainment for me.

On Saturday, we spent the morning playing in the mounds and mounds of leaves that collected in Grandma's yard.  I've never seen that many leaves ever, in my whole life.  I could have gotten lost in all those leaves.  More hours of entertainment for me.  In the afternoon, we headed over to Aunt Elsie's to say Hi to all her horses.  By that time it had started to rain so we were pretty much confined to inside for the rest of the trip.  Aunt Iva stopped by with some just-picked apples and brought me a book and a stuffed rhino.  

Just when I was getting restless, Grandma Walker, being the experienced Grandma that she is, pulled out all kinds of toys and let me by as crazy as I wanted to be to be inside the house.  We had great fun together.

Sunday morning, we met all of the other relatives for breakfast.  I sat for about 2 minutes of that and then made mom take me outside where it was snowing.  She loved that.

Our trip back was uneventful, other than the hour we sat on the runway in Cleveland waiting for our plane to be de-iced.  Mom was starting to panic because now, I was having to sit for 3.5 hours instead of 2.5 but I was so exhausted that I slept the whole way to Dallas.  No worries mom!

We had a great time and I continue to earn my "World's Greatest Traveler" badge.

Thanks to Grandma for letting take over her house for a few days and we can't wait to come back!
