For Harper's 2nd birthday, we headed to Ohio to celebrate with Omi and Opaw and Joe, Kelsey and Beau. Since her birthday is also on the 4th of July, we had a nice long weekend to do that!
We hiked Friday morning at the Ledges in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. It was so pretty and green!
Nate is talented at selfless…we all fit in this one!
Andrew was in heaven with all the nooks and crannies he got to explore.
Flying a kite in the field afterwards.
It was such picture perfect weather…we got out the pool and Omi had a fun fishing game.
Sweet little Beau who is actually not so little anymore! He and Harper are about the same size!
Uncle Joe helping Drew line up all his cars…these were Nate's when he was little and so it is cute to watch Andrew sort and organize them.
The birthday girl, opening her presents…she got some cooking utensils, a new baby doll, a vacuum cleaner (a hit!) and a new sleeping bag.
Her birthday cupcake!
She was so excited everyone was singing to her.
And she all but inhaled her cupcake (they were pretty good…I do admit:)
Saturday morning, (another gorgeous day), Nate and I went on a long bike ride, just the 2 of us, while Omi babysat the kids. We went on the Rails to Trails bike trail that runs through all sorts of small towns. It was so beautiful out…lots of rolling hills, farms, creeks, and cute towns. We stopped in Pennisula and had ice cream at Oser's (above).
As if we didn't pack enough fun into our weekend, we got to go on a boat ride in Portage Lakes.
Kelsey and I had a time keeping these two actually on the boat and not toppling into the water (which they attempted many times)
DeeDee (Omi) and all her grandkiddos.
Andrew enjoyed the few minutes he got to be captain with Opaw.
And Nate and Andrew were the only ones brave enough to suffer the cold water and take a swim! We had such a fun weekend in Ohio and are so glad we got to celebrate Harper with everyone!
