Aside from our adventures with my parents (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) we also did a few more cool things before and after they left. The fun abounds people, the Ohio fun abounds.

50. Stay home, get out the lawn chair, fill up the kiddie pool, turn on the sprinkler, and relax!
See!! So much to do! I'm putting this list away until next summer. But, I'm starting to get really excited about FALL!! If you think Summer in Ohio is fun, just wait until Fall.
When we first moved back to Ohio I was bummed because I thought there was nothing around to do. Wow, was I wrong! It's all about going out and finding it and then going and doing it! Today- BEGIN!
