Back to the 50's

Nana & Papa Tractor from Ohio visited recently and Noah had a ball. He is STILL talking about the Back to the 50's car show he went to with Daddy and Papa.

Pedaling...finally!

Noah takes after his mother and is not the most coordinated of people. In the last few weeks he has FINALLY started to get the hang of it. As long as he has a slight incline to get him moving, that is!

Sprinkler Fun!

Recently Noah has shown great interest in the neighbor's sprinklers, and we've found him a bit wet several times. So this week we pulled out a cheap sprinkler from Target so he could have some parent approved sprinkler time.

Dirty Boy!

Noah spends HOURS outside. These are some glimpses of the state we find him in at the end of each day.

Digging on the beach with Daddy

The lake shore is the ultimate gravel pit. Noah got to spend some time with Daddy digging in the rocks.

Smore's

Nothing is better then smores with Mommy on the lake shore. Kristin is a queen of Smore's

Night Nite, Noah Noah got to sleep in his new tent bed.

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.

Last ones!

And more...
