Grandma and Grandpa Came to Town!

I don't like that these go in reverse order. But I guess you'll get the story from the end to the beginning. We saw this huge frog! I should have put my foot in the picture for you to understand what I'm talking about but this was BIG!!! It was in the middle of the road (to the entrance of a parking lot by a lake/pond. My dad tried to catch it in a McDonald's cup and ended up holding it for a bit. I wish I had it on video. My dad holding this big frog out away from his body and the frog winding its back legs trying to get away. It was comical.

We went to Fort Boonesborough where this lady taght us about making soap. I wish I could remember what she said the consistancy the soap was in the old days but she said it twice and it was funny because she acted like she hadn't already said that to us. Maybe a little too much lye on the brain.

After we got to the motel we went to this nice park and had a picnic. It rained a tiny bit but we had a good time. That night we went swimming. We had a great time.


We went on a B.B. Riverboat cruise/tour of Cincinnati. It was a little hot and humid but not sweltering. We heard about things that we should have seen but had trouble finding what he was talking about. We did see a church that was mentioned though. I also saw a man riding a bike on a part of a road that was parallel to the river and he was going faster than we were (and he wasn't racing).

Dad and Mom (Grandma and Grandpa) came to visit in June and we are SO glad they did! We love when we get to spend time with them and see and do new things. Thanks for the great time!
