It's been a very fun, very busy summer. First, Grami and Papa came to visit. We were so excited to have company! We took them to some of our favorite places -- Hudson, Rolling Ridge Ranch, the John Johnson farm. It seems I didn't take many pictures. But here's the men at the Ranch:
Then my aunt, uncle and cousin came into town, so we headed to Cedar Point. Stetson was 36 inches tall, enough to try out all the kiddie rides -- bumper boats, carousel, and even a fairly fast train mini-coaster.
The guys rode nearly every ride. This was the craziest one! The Dragster took my breath away just watching it.
My aunt and I were not quite so brave; it's not really our thing. But we all had a great time. I was very pleasantly surprised by how kid-friendly Cedar Point is. We can't wait to go back!
We managed to pack all that in before we even left for Arizona, where we spent three weeks partying with family. Those pictures to come soon! (I promise, Walkers)
Blogging entire seasons in one post is a problem -- Winter lasts so darn long here in Cleveland! I've found that playing in the snow really wears Stetson (and me) out, so we've tried to do it as much as possible. Some days it's just way too cold and windy, but we've had a lot of fun doing it. Hey -- if you can't beat the snow, play in it!
We created this huge snowman just outside our neighbor's window. When completely finished, he had button eyes and Reese's peanut butter mini-cups for a mouth. Lafe was the mastermind; I tend to lose focus after a while. 
Hauling my forty pound child around the yard is awesome exercise! We've got several more inches falling next week -- right during our Spring Break. I'm sure we'll have more pictures of snow play, and I'll try to recap our Christmas fun as well.
