We went to Ohio for Memorial Day weekend to visit with Craig’s parents. This was the first time that Dagny has been to Ohio. She took to her surrounds well, walking around and exploring the house all by herself, of course looking back every few steps to see that Mommy and Daddy were in view.
Dagny has many fans in Ohio that followed her process of coming home and they all wanted to meet her. It was so wonderful to be able to introduce her to all the people that care about her so much. With that said we had a very eventful weekend with lots of activities.
Time line of events:
Thursday Craig, Dagny and I went for a very long drive that ended at Grandma and Grandpa’s house.
This is what Dagny did all the way…
… in a parallel universal… and here is our reality.
It’s not very fun to be in a car for 7 hours with an 18 month old. Guess who is doing it again in July?! NOT CRAIG!
We got in late due to the multiple stops we made, which did seem to help a lot. Dagny got recharged and was good for another two hours or so.
Friday, we got up and had breakfast. Dagny sat in her great-grandmother highchair. The chair was used by Craig’s father’s mother, how cool is that?
We hung out at the house waiting for Uncle Tim’s plane to arrive from Texas. While we waited Uncle Troy (not by relations just by lots of love) came over (he was there every single day). The entire family was going out to Phill’s Seafood for dinner. That restaurant is the diamond in the rough. It’s the best seafood place, EVER. Before we headed to Phil’s Craig, Uncle Troy, Dagny and I went to the hospital to visit with Troy’s grandmother who really wanted to meet Little D. It was so great to see her again and happy to hear she is doing good. We then met the rest of the family at Phil’s where Dagny petted a live Lobster and Uncle Troy promptly ran the other way.
Saturday, was a very fun day. In the afternoon we went to the visit with Troy’s family at the campsite where they were camping and stayed for the cookout. It was so nice to see Mr. and Mrs. Alford, they are the best. Mrs. Alford has been one of our most devoted visitor on our site. Craig and I couldn’t wait for her to meet Dagny. We had so much fun with Dagny there. There was a playground there and we took Dagny to the swing and afterwards she played around in the grass.
She was having fun squating down and jumping up.
I know you shouldn’t laugh when your child falls, but this is so funny. (She wasn’t hurt)
After the fun she was all pooped out in her daddy’s arms.
Sunday, was the big day where Grandma and Grandpa Johnson threw a party for Dagny. There were guest from all over the place. It was a great time. It was so nice to hear how many people have visited our site and how they enjoy it. Dagny did so well with everyone, especially Olivia. She is the one year old daughter of Uncle Tim’s friends. She is such a little cutie.
My little girl and I went outside to check out the trees.
Here is the guest of honor.
We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back. Thank you to all the people that made the time to meet Dagny and us.
