Our First Visitors

We were SO LUCKY to have Chase's sister Alicia and her family come visit us! It was so nice to see family because it feels like Christmas was such a long time ago. We had a lot of fun with them playing games and doing fun things!

We wanted them to get a taste of the Buckeye culture here. Avery and Carsten are standing in front of a huge buckeye chocolate and they tried some buckeye ice cream. We tried to go on a tour of a chocolate factory but they didn't have tours the day we were there. Bummer!

I think there's one more fan now!

We went to the zoo and Avery was feeding the ducks her lunch. Then when she was eating her chicken, a goose came over and took it out of her hand!

You have to get your face painted. Carsten is the the loch ness monster. It was so green, he still had green eyebrows days later.

Princess Avery!

We went to the Franklin Park Conservatory and saw tons of cool plants and butterflies. Pretty girl and pretty flowers!


We went to Cosi, which is a science center. There are lots of hands on exhibits and some demonstrations to watch. Carsten and Avery liked playing with these balls in the water.


We went to Hocking Hills State Park and hiked to see a few cool places.






Us having a picnic.


And we went to the park to play.

Thanks so much for visiting! We had a blast and can't wait till we see you again! Boxer misses his friends! We love you!
