Ohio Trip - Part 1

The Drive...We left Mankato at 6:15 am on Monday morning. We arrived in Canal Winchester, OH at 9:00 pm. We made only four stops along the way (Dana is proud of this fact). The trip was uneventful except for a couple of sibling spats and a less than consistent A/C. It turns out the A/C only needed a recharge of freon at Bootsie's Auto Repair for $63.

Day 1:

"Solomon is a little honey" - Nedra
"Where are we going to get our A/C checked? It's going to be in the upper 90's this week!!!" - Dana

"This new and improved Domino's is great" - Patenaudes plus AFLBS summer team

"It's my turn to hold Solomon now Hannah/Sarah has been holding him all day" - Hannah/Sarah

"How was the pool?" - Ryan (he was working and didn't go with us)

"The slide was too slow but the pool was SWEET!" - Ethan

"Oody, oody, oody!" - Thor (translation Rudy, Rudy, Rudy)

"Show us those dimples, Solomon" - Stephanie

"Thor...Thor...Thor. Come here Thor...Thor, NO! Thor, don't put that in your mouth. Thor's so cute. Thor's tough. Thor, say 'uncle'" - Everyone.

"How come the adults get to stay in the pool during break time at this swiming pool?" - Kids

Day 2:

"It's HOT!" - Nedra

"Praise the Lord the A/C is fixed" - everyone

"Praise the Lord it wasn't serious (or expensive)" - Dana & Nedra

"Let's just watch a movie this morning. How about UP?" - Dana

"We get to watch a movie in the morning?! Whoo-hoo!" - Kids

"What are we going to do when Ryan gets done with work?" - Adults

"The Santa Maria is in Columbus?" - Ethan

"You're serious? They went to bathroom that way? Gross!" - Nedra

"It's HOT!" - Hannah

"Can you give me a piggy-back ride?" - Sarah

"I'm SOOO thirsty!!!" - Ethan

"Nothing glorious, fun, or exciting about sailing on the Santa Maria in 1492" - Nedra
