Easter in Ohio...

So this past Thursday, David, Ty, Sarah, and I took off for Ohio after work. We drove to West Virginia to stay with Will, Bonnie, and the kids for the night. It's half way to Ohio, so it's a perfect stopping place and we always enjoy our short visit while we are there. Friday morning got up, ate some breakfast and then hit the road to grandmas. We ended up getting there around 1:00 right before a huge storm hit, we were actually running in the house as the rain started pouring down. :) We had a great lunch. Melanie, Jenna, and Jacob had also just arrived so we enjoyed visiting with everyone. A little later we headed back to Kenton. David's mom had planned a cook-out. Bless her heart she was so not feeling well, but put on a happy face for us all. Brad, Bekah, Zach, Carmen, and Kevin came up to also eat with us. We sat around and visited with each other. It was a fun night. We also stuffed eggs for the Easter egg hunt the next day. Needless to say, Ty ate WAY too much of the candy that night because we could not get him to go to bed till midnight, he was sweet, but just wasn't tired. Saturday we got up, had a yummy breakfast and then headed down to grandma's for lunch and the egg hunt. The lunch was so good as always, we had ham, green beans, hash brown casserole, homemade bread, and salad. It was oh so good. After lunch, Ty went down for a nap and we (the big kids) hid all the eggs outside. I'm telling you there were LOTS of eggs, I'm not sure exactly how many but at least a few hundred. Then we let the kids have at it. They ran and ran and still after they all had filled their buckets a few times came in to check out their loot. Brian and David went back out and found at least 20 more. Ty slept through the whole thing so when we got up we had a little Easter egg hunt for him in the living room and he was so excited to find candy in them! Of course, he didn't need any more candy, but we left him have it anyway. Then, David and I headed to Zach and Carmen's for some pizza and to visit with them one last time, and Mike (paw paw), Brenda (Grama), and Sarah (ra ra) took Ty back to the house. We had a good visit and then headed back to the house to find them having a pizza party and watching The Squeakquel. They said they had a blast and I'm so glad that Ty was good for them. He's been a little attached to me lately. I'm not sure why and as much as I love that he loves me, I really hope it's just a phase that he's this attached. :)
Then Sunday we got up for church and then headed to grandma's for some left overs. It was just as good the second time around. After lunch we hit the road. Let me tell you Tyler was an angel the whole time. He only slept about one hour the entire trip, but he was awesome. We played, watched movies, hid under blankets, and looked for cows. :) It was a great trip. Never long enough, but we enjoyed every minute of it and are so thankful for all our family and friends and getting to spend time with them. Tyler, by the way, loves Mike and has started calling him paw paw. It's the most precious thing to hear him say it.. I'll try to get it on video so you all can hear it. :)
We had a great weekend and ended up stretching Easter way longer than expected, but it was all fun and great memories were made, now if all the candy would just disappear, that would be nice!
Hope you all have a great week!
