Cold & Rainy



Spring has been odd this year. Very cool and rainy, with a few sunny and warm days to tease us. Tonight we are expecting some snow...in May! Noah tries not to let the rain keep him from doing very serious playing outdoors. As long as his hands can keep warm enough without mittens, he wants to be outside.

Best Buddies



Noah adores Papa & Nana Tractor and can't wait to see them again. They made his stay in Ohio the best! Thanks for all the love!

Helper



Papa LOVES it when Noah helps out!

Amish Country



Noah got to visit Kidron, Ohio http://www.experience-ohio-amish-country.com/kidron.html . Not only did he explore the huge Lehman's Store there http://www.lehmans.com/ , but he also got see some black buggy's and even a livestock auction!

Civil Air Patrol






Papa gave Steven and Noah a quick tour of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) hanger at the Canton Airport.

Sunny and warm!


We enjoyed beautiful spring days while there was a winter storm back home.

Made it to our End Destination...Jackson Township, Ohio



Whew! We pulled into Nana and Papa Tractor's house on the afternoon of April 8th after a detour through some interesting parts of Ohio. We packed a lot in during the first 32 hours of our vacation! And Noah quickly settled into the important aspects of life at Nana & Papa's house!

I'll Miss You Great Grandma



Noah decided that besides saying good bye to Great Grandma, he needed to hug the goose statue as well. He's still asking us, "Where's Great Grandma." He seems to be OK when we tell him she's on the farm.

Exploring!





So many places to check out on the farm. And Great Grandma's riding lawn tractor is pretty cool too!

Farm Hand Noah





Noah could have spend days exploring the farm. He enjoyed jumping right in and helping with the chores. He was very impressed with the big "corn garden," AKA corn field!

Made it to Great Grandma's farm in Ohio

Later in the day on April 7th we pulled into the farm in Miller City, Ohio for an overnight stay with Great Grandma Dobmeyer. Noah is blessed to have such a spunky and sharp Great Grandma in his life. The timing of the trip worked out great as we were able to spend the morning of her birthday with her before we left.
