Ohio Visit

Over the Easter weekend we took a 6 day trip to Ohio. We first visited with Barbara's Grandma and Uncles in Cleveland, then went to Dave's mom's family reunion in Kent, and then back to Barb's Grandma's again. For all pictures, click HERE

Sean and Grandma Ross. Grandma Ross is holding Sean up so he can see Paco the bird. Sean was all about Paco, and would leave whatever he was doing every 5 minutes or so to make sure "buhrd" was still there.

In Kent, Dave's cousin Allison and her husband Adam hold sleepy Sean. Sean wanted to get one more NCAA Tourney game in.

Friday night it snowed 6-7" - a big novelty for us Texas folks. Dave took the opportunity to prove his love for Barbara outside the hotel window.

Dave's Uncle Phil and Allison contemplate Boudreaux's Butt Paste - a miracle baby ointment from Louisiana that is apparently unknown in the northeast and west parts of the country (even though it is made in Indiana.)

While in Kent we made a trip to Amish country and visited Lehman's - a seller of mainly American made non-electric items. Sean tries out a tractor (again.)

On the way back from Amish country we stopped at the Inventor Hall of Fame in Akron. Here, Sean tries out a piano that is his size - and has a blast.

At Kent State University we visited the memorial to the May 4, 1970 shootings (4 dead in Ohio.) The Hofbauer's discuss bullet trajectories
