They say the heart of rock and roll is in Cleveland...

and from what I see I believe it!

We had a blast visiting Dan's family last week in Cleveland! His cousin is having a baby in August so we flew up for the baby shower and a family visit. I have lots to share but it will be easiest to show you in pictures!

Grace did AMAZING on the plane. I mean seriously, amazing. She didn't nap much on the way up there, which had us worried, but she still did great. We had a little DVD player that we took so she could watch Sesame Street and she loved it. We even practiced with it before we left so she could get used to the headphones.

She was absolutely IN LOVE with her cousins. She wanted Dominic to carry her around and wanted to chase Aidan and Connor around wherever they went.



We had a few footraces and some ice cream,

The old mare ain't what she used to be... but I almost beat him!
Uncle Dan finished the job though! Victory is sweet!!
Aunt Cheri and Beth visited Connor and the twins on Friday afternoon. Aren't they sweet?


Grace loved Aunt Cheri's water fountain out front and had to visit it every time we got home.

The night before we left we packed up a pizza picnic and hung out at the pool. We had such a blast!


I LOVE this picture of Aunt Cheri and Grace! They were having such a good time!




On our way to Pizza Hut after Dominic's baseball game. Dominic's team dominated, of course.
Normal parents dress their kids in outfits like this for a little league baseball game, don't they? Bethie gave me a hard time, but I say there is no time like the present to be fabulous. : )

We had such a blast and miss all of our Cleveland family so much! Love you guys!
