Ohio with The Fam



THIS is the Black Ridge Cabin in Hocking Hills, Ohio
where my kids, grandkids, and I
spent 6 amazing days together.


Family activities were sprinkled during our time together.
Kelty got us all to create FLAGS
representing our family unity and diversity.
Every flag was undeniably UNIQUE!

There were lots of SPONTANEOUS activities too,
like the Cup Game illustrated below . . .

First, the set-up by my granddaughters.
(Notice the LOOK of the observing child- a true clown.)


Then, a selected child, in this case my grandson Kenneth,
gets to be the Human Bowling Ball.

My son-in-law Cody would LAUNCH the child
causing them to slide at terrifically high speed
across the wooden floor . . .

. . . until they crashed into the tower of cups!
OH WHAT GLEE!

My youngest grandbabies.
Audrey and Aspen
were thrilled to get acquainted on this trip.
Good-natured little campers!

Kenneth and Avery played
and fought
and played together.
That's what TWO YEAR OLDS are all about!


Not far from the cabin was
the Rope Swing Above All Rope Swings.

The rope was so freakin' long that you could swing
way, way out there
and when you looked down,
the drop-off was dizzying.
It was better than ANY ride at Disneyland!

ABOVE: a field trip to Old Man's Cave.

Truly, we packed in SO MUCH FUN
that I'm going to have to provide you with a PART 2.

COMING SOON.

Hi Ginger. Happy Spring! What a great vacation, one I hope to emulate one day. If there was a prize for cutest grandchildren, I think you'd win. But I'm a little biased. Just a little :)

We went to the Tom Sawyer cave in Mo. and it was pretty darn amazin'. But nowhere near as amazin' as HUMAN BOWLING. That was a total crack up.
