One Last Outing before School


For Ryan's birthday I got him tickets to the BSU vs Toledo game in Toledo.
We had a blast!
Not only did Claire do great, but she looked great!! hehe
We met up with Ryan's friend from highschool and college, Rob and his wife Lindsey.
It was such a great weekend!

The marching band...I know I am a band nerd ;)


Claire might have stole the show....Or she at least stole my show!


She had to take a little nap to rest up from all the excitement.


Ryan was in heaven watching BSU play.


There was even a firework show!
The proud daddy...He would do this every time BSU scored. Maybe that's why they won?




Ryan was trying to show off my boots...yes I wore boots! I lived in Texas, Arizona and Idaho, I am allowed to wear boots to a Broncos game!


Claire loved being surrounded by all the people. She is definitely a people person.


Our little BSU fairy!


My all time favorite picture!


Ryan and his friend Rob.


At the end of the game. We were all a little tired...


This was at the hotel. And Yes I did tuck my boots into my jeans.


Claire was so happy to be warm and cozy in her hotel. She was loving life!



The next day we went to an island in Lake Erie. It was so fun! We took a ferry over and then drove a golf cart around with our friends.

This was us on the ferry.


Lake Erie is HUGE! You feel like you are at the ocean!


Daddy and Claire on the ferry.


We took a tour around a really cool cave.


Claire loves being in the backpack. I think she feels like a big girl.



For some reason, for the first time in my life I felt very claustrophobic. I don't know if it was because I was worried for Claire, but I had a slight panic attack. It was all good and fine, but I don't know if I want to go into a cave with Claire again for awhile. I think my mama instinct was kicking in or something.

The picture above was taken after my panic episode, you can tell, I was a little shaken.



Ryan LOVED driving around with Claire in the front of the golf cart. He was in heaven, again!


This is us by the lake again. We had such a great time!

The Park & Art Museum

My three youngest siblings are being homeschooled online. They had a home schooling party at a park so I took them and Claire to party. We had a lot of fun.

They are all a bunch of monkeys!

Oh Annie!


They love each other!














After the park we went to the art museum in Cincinnati. It is incredible! It is also completely free! Up to this point, this was one of the biggest outings I had taken Claire on and she did great.
This was a structure outside of the museum that the kids had a good time playing.


The area around the museum was beautiful.


These are the steps to the museum.
