Week in Ohio

At the beginning of October we went to see my family in Ohio. We timed it so we could see University of Wyoming play. Our flight was delayed because of some issue with it not flying, or something so we had to get on a new one. We made it to Ohio, where it there was torrential rain and drove to Dax's game. We got there just in time for the last half. It was freezing, so Chris and I listened to most of the game in the car. Conan was a trooper and watched all of it outside. At the end of the game we got to catch up with the quarterback...

Dax! It may not look like it in this picture (it was 11 p.m.), but Chris was thrilled to see Dax. He talks about Uncle Dax all of the time now. I'd say he tells us it's Dax's birthday just about everyday.

We stayed with Uncle Steve and Aunt Karen in Ohio. Chris had a blast with them.

He especially loved all of their animals. They have 3 dogs, and his favorite, Izzy the cat. Izzy was the one that didn't want to play with Chris, but he didn't care. He followed her everywhere around the house. My favorite was when he trapped her in the sink to pet her.

Here we are with Matt and my Grandpa at his house. Chris loves Grandpa Carl!

The three of us on the farm!

You can call Conan the cow whisperer. They were scattered all over the place, and as soon as he started mooing they all gathered around.

Chris loved them!

My mom's cousins, "J's" as Conan calls them came over. Julie, Jenny and Jane doing thumbs up with Chris.

Their house is right on a creek, so Conan got lots of fishing in. Chris caught his first fish with Dad. He loved it so much that he wouldn't throw it back, because he wanted to bring it back to the house. Any guesses what he named the fish?

Turtle!
