Easter in Ohio ’09

We just got back from visiting Wendy’s family in Ohio and had a great time. Although, I have now decided to call it the “Seattle of the mid-west” since gloomy skies and rainy weather have pretty much been the norm every time I’ve been there. Well, maybe one trip was sunny?

It was nice to see the family and Beau had a great time playing with his cousins, Ben & Luke. They’re six and seven and played pretty well with Beau. I couldn’t believe the patience they had when it came to playing with the little guys. We had a great Easter egg hunt on Sunday, you forget how much fun little kids have looking for eggs.

We also had the pleasure of using Jake and Marylou’s summer cabin in Kent Ohio. Their place is located on Brady lake. So we had access to fishing gear, boats, docks and all the comforts of home. I was hoping the bluegills would be biting, thinking that would be perfect for Beau but the weather didn’t cooperate. He probably had more fun throwing rocks off the dock anyway.

The one thing I’ve decided I love about the Cleavland area is their vast system of metro parks. The parks follow the major river valleys thru Cleavland the the surrounding area and are filled with running trails, lakes, rivers, nature trails. All free for anyone to use.

    Finally had a chance to look at everything. Pretty cool stuff. Seeing Wendy and the kids today – Thanksgiving afternoon. Sunday is off to deer camp – not really a rough camp. Duck season in wyoming this year was slow but still a good year since the family came and enjoyed Yellowstone.
