The Last two weeks....

Well, it has been another busy couple of weeks. Nate and I and the boys went to Kings Island for two days on July 20th. we stayed with my dad on Sunday night and then on Monday we got up and went to King's Island, we met my brother, Sheri, Julianna and Tyler there, and my dad went with us too. It was so much fun being together, Brady and Julianna would ride everything and Tyler was too short to ride and Riley, well he only wanted to ride one helicopter ride, Brady even rode on the Runaway Reptar which is a huge hanging roller coaster, I was so proud of him for trying new things. It was fun and by the time we left we were so hot and tired. We went back on Tuesday and started out at the Water Park section of Kings Island and met my cousin Rachel and her three kids there and my cousin Nicole with her two kids. We spent about 3 hours at the water park, Nate and Nicole rode a huge water slide together, it was amazing, then we changed and went to the dry park side. Brady again rode big rides with Annie, Rachel's oldest. We were way too tired to drive back to Medina, so we decided to spend the night and leave early in the morning. Tuesday night was the Norwood Day Parade, so we decided to attend. What a joy that was. My cousins came so it was again another fun time with family. We went home and rested then we got our things packed and went to bed....lots of fun.

on Wednesday, I got my house clean and then Thursday evening, our friends from Michigan, the Bettingers, came to town for a quick trip. Carrie and I and the four kids spent Friday together. Then Sunday, our Brother-in-Law, Jon was ordained at the Louisville Baptist Temple, so that was a neat ceremony, and Nate sang of course, then they had a little Pot-Luck celebration after. When that was over, I rode to Michigan with Ryan Bettinger to go to Carrie's house with Brady and a ton of luggage. Carrie had surgery on Monday and I came up here to help her around the house and with her kids...it has been a fun week of watching movies, HGTV,the Food Network and napping. Carrie is doing well. Nate will come and get me on Sunday and we will leave sometime Monday. Then I hope to have a yard sale next weekend. so the busy, fun days of summer continue, before we know it we will be school shopping and getting ready for the first day of school....WHAT FUN!!!!!
