Trip Up North

On Saturday we made a quick trip up to the Akron area to visit with Ben's family. Most of them hadn't seen Anna so his Aunt Debbie had an open house for family and friends to come by and visit. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time seeing his family. It was a whirlwind trip, but it was a lot of fun and we really wanted Ben's Grandpa to see Anna! Thanks Debbie for opening up your home and for all the great food! We really appreciate your hospitality!

Uncle Ton & Anna. Uncle Tom knows all about girls... he has two girls himself!


By far, the highlight of the trip for Claire was playing with Aunt Debbie's 3 dogs, Maggie, Shelby and Cookie. She is still talking about Cookie (a 4 month old Beagle/Border Collie)! She was soooo cute and Claire loved her!
