4th of July trip home to Ohio!

We had a great time visiting family and friends over our summer trip home to Ohio! We miss everyone already and are looking forward to coming back over the holidays with a new baby in tow!
These were actually taken before we left... Sophie just out of the pool loving the freedom!

Again, before we went home. She didn't feel like green beans this night...

So Daddy gave her some pizza sauce to try with them...And just like Daddy, she loves to dip!She ate all of the ones on her plate plus wanted more!


Soph and her cousins getting ready for the 4th of July festivities!




Soph and Mommy after a fun night!


With Daddy's wallet... starting at a young age
She calls all of the presidents on the bills "Ho-Hos", as in Santa... I think it's the white hair!


Watching fireworks with Nana
She actually loved them. After every one she would say "boom"
Watching with Papaw
Watching the finale as we make our way to the car
Pool time!

She LOVES being in the water. This is one of the few times she would actually stay in a raft... most of the time she just wants to jump in!



Sophie's "I'm a little stinker" smile!


Her cousin Max was right there with her!

Sophie on the swings at Lakewood Park
As you can tell she is a big fan of the swing!
WEEEE!!!
Daddy pushing Sophie

A Kiddie Park with a lot of rides... Sophie rode every one and loved them! Well, except for the "boom, boom" roller coaster that was a little too old for her!
She didn't hesitate to get on any of the rides
Here she is on the mini Ferris Wheel
Smiled the entire time!!
Getting ready to go on the rocket ride

Telling Mommy which color rocket she wants to ride... she choose purple, a decision that made her Grandpa Art proud!
Flying high on the rocket and loving it! Not scared one bit!
Watching her drive away in these cars broke Mommy & Daddy's hearts... it was like she was 16 driving away for the first time! She looked too old!!
She couldn't see any of us at this point, but obviously was not worried!
Such a big girl
She rode the carusol twice with Daddy - it's her favorite. Of course Daddy picked out the horse they rode on...
And let's not forget the Buckeye's horse!
Playing on Grandpa Art's deck later that night
She loved looking at the view and pointing out the color of the cars that went by
I think she sees an airplane... loves to see them on the ground, but to be in one... not so much!
My buddy.



She loved having Grandpa Art swing her off the chair.
What a fun trip!
