Our travels from Paris to Columbus, Ohio to see grand-ma and grand-pa were filled with obstacles! Started with a power failer at the Paris airport and then of course with us missing our flight and spending the night in washington with out suitcases and with a puky dress! My mom was a mess, but I was happy in her t-shirt eating my mac and cheese!
The next morning was a little difficult. We had to get up at 4AM for our flight! But again, I was content... Mommy sais I am a great traveler!
Finally we arrived in Ohio. We were lucky to be greeted by a 4th of july parade (one week early), which we were part of! Thank you grand-pa for such a greeting!
Grand-ma too was very welcoming, and she introduced me to a great book; drummer Hoff. To read this book you need to put an eye patch on, whichis so much fun! And of course the best part, I can be in grand-ma's arms!
A few days after arriving and settling in with the english language and my cousins Hailey and Alyssa (seen in the parade picture), we went camping with the entire family. What a great time.
Grand-pa actually took A LOT of pictures which you can see on his blog!
Another highlight of my trip was my haircut at Uncle Bob's salon!
My hair has never looked this nice!
I was also able to spend a lot of time with my friends Brecken (and her mom Michelle).
And her brother Truman. Here we are celebrating independance day! I can wave that flag now, I have a social security number!
And my favorite pass-time, the merry go round!
On our last day, we had a big BBQ at uncle bob's and aunt Claudia's with almost the entire family. Uunfortunately Wes and Cheryl and Zoe and Addy could not make it (I guess you'll have to come to france for your goodby kiss!).
Bob and Claudia have a great pond/lake in their back yard, and that boat ride was marvelous!
And that concludes my Ohio adventure. I really enjoyed spending so much time with each and every one of you. Seth, can you please come to Paris so that you can push me on the swing?! I miss you already and hope that we can be together soon. Lots of love...
(please stay tuned for the rest of my US adventure soon to be posted)
