Family time in Ohio July 2011

On July 22, 2011, we left for Ohio to spend the weekend with family and friends. It was a wonderful, relaxing time. Being with family always seems to put smiles on our faces. The cousins being silly in Grammy and Pa Loose's living room. Saturday...the guys went to Mid Ohio to a motorcycle fest while the women and kids hung out at the pool.Later that afternoon, we went to Ted and Mary's house for fun times and dinner.After the family reunion on Sunday, we all went to Andy and Mindy's and celebrated July and August birthdays....When we go to Ohio, we always try to visit Tim's childhood friend, Mark Murray, and his family. We met them at their pool and had a day of fun.Abi taking the plunge from the high board.....Tim's "free fall".....Emily's turn.....As the day went on, Abi got bravier and started doing some tricks.....The morning we were leaving, Tim and Pa Loose took the girls to Pa Loose's shop. You just never know what "toys" you will find.Pa Loose's cousin, Danny, was at the shop and took the girls for a "ride of their lives" in his Corvette.We always have such a great time and it is hard to come home and leave our cousins and grandparents.
