Grammy's visit









Becky's mom visited over Labor Day weekend. It was a huge boost for everyone, especially the kids who had just finished their first week at new schools. We went to the "Great Geauga County Fair" where we had many new experiences, including the Demolition Derby, and witnessed the beginning of a cow delivering a calf. Emma noticed first, and had the quotable quote of the day: "Look Mommy, two hooves are coming out of that cow's butt!"

On Labor Day itself, we went on an outing to a neat store called "End of the Commons," a general store that has been operating in the heart of Amish country since 1840. It is only about 25 minutes from our house. It sold a little bit of everything, and it was interesting to watch the Amish customers coming and going. Out front is the largest horse and buggy.

I love seeing your Mom. She is so cute and I am so glad that she came to see your family. Looks like a neat area.
