Ohio and the 4th!

The kids and I have been having fun in Ohio.  We went to Chick-fil-a for lunch and a worker came over and asked if they could come make themselves an ice cream cone!  He took all three kids and helped them make their own ice cream cones for free.. I seriously love that place!  We have been in Ohio a few times and we love it because people love their country.  We have had fireworks for 3 days in a row.. and the kids are loving it!  On the 3rd we went to Lake Erie and let the kids play on the beach and they had a blast.  Brody gave us a little scare and fell in the water with a wave.. after that he wanted nothing to do with the water!  Scared me to death!  Our plan was to watch fireworks on the beach but it doesn't get dark until like 10, and the kids were exhausted so we went back to our hotel room and showered and the kids watched all the fireworks from our hotel window.  On the actual 4th we met up with JJ and Christanie and some other guys in the office and watched the fireworks with them.  It was a late night and the kids were exhausted but we had a lot of fun!
