O-h-i-o and Back

We made our annual pilgrimage to Ohio in October this time for Grandma's 80th birthday. Gigi and Papa then kept the kidlets while I headed to the west coast for work and Daddy enjoyed a brief reminder of bachelorhood...and a long list of chores from me. As always, it's great to see everyone and have them spend time with the kids.

Grandma's official birthday party.


Doesn't she look great?! XO


Grandma, Haley and a very shy Bridget.


Papa and Sam getting ready to head up to Spangs where Sam promptly reached for and dumped a large beer all over him. Nothing like a baby smelling like a brewery!


The original Papa Fry.


Bridg with Jenny and Kylie post ice cream!


Our playdate at the Borstelman's. I am missing a few kids - Kate and Levi included. It was our first time meeting the little guy and seeing Kate since August '09. Kate was a little under the weather and being a little shy (don't believe her wild girl press! HAHA). Playing dress-up - Bridget, Emma Zirkle, Jack and Layla Mowery.

The Princesses...Bridget pre getting naked (as evidenced above).


Rocking OSU gear thanks to Gigi.


My parents took Bridget to the zoo for "Boo at the Zoo" on preschool day. She went as Little Peep and collected lots of candy, which was forgotten at the zoo but ironically never asked about by Bridget.
