Our vacation to Canada and some other random photos!

At the beginning of August we flew over to visit my family and friends up in Canada. The flights on the way there were OK. We flew from Columbus to Milwaukee and that flight was about an hour. Then we had a 3 hour lay over in Milwaukee. Our next flight was direct to Seattle but was about 4 hour sin length. The boys did pretty well but were not impressed by the third hour so we were scrambling to keep them entertained which is not easy on a plane where there is no where to go. We then drove from Seattle to the Vancouver area and stayed at my friend Sherri and her husband Mike and their daughter Mikayla's house! We had a really good time there and Sherri and I got to go out and have some fun too! From there we drove to my dad's and stayed there for 2 nights and had a really good time. I also got to catch up with my friend Joy one night too :) Then we drove over to my sister's house and stayed there for the remainder of the time. My mom also came and stayed for the majority of the time we were there. We got to also see my grandparents and aunt's and uncle's, we met up with my friends Kristie H., Kristy S., and Joy at a park and let all our kids run around for awhile (which they did happily of course so there wasn't a whole lot of visiting that went on there! Josh and I went up to the local Ski resort there and rode up one of the chair lifts and it was such an amazing view! We are such wimps though. Neither of us are all that fond of heights. It was fun though. Then my step sister got married while we were there so we attended the wedding and it was very nice. All in all it was a good trip. The boys were slightly (to say the least) grumpy for some of the days with all the traveling and busyness of our schedule. It was also SUPER hot there the whole time we were there! The way home on the plane is one that I chose to try and forget. Let's just say it was NOT FUN AT ALL!! :) Oh well. Below are some pictures from the trip! They are no specific order.

Ethan and his warrior face. He decided to take off running and when the grass turned to pavement he tripped and took a face plant into the pavement. It's like he hasn't grown into his feet yet!
Cohen :)
Kisses :)
Our friends Pete & Janelle and the man of the hour, Andy! It was his 2nd b-day on Aug.31st!

One night when Ethan wouldn't sleep (we think because of his catheter that was in) so we cuddled on the couch :)
