Last Thursday the 16th through Saturday the 18th, Emma, my friend Beth and I went to visit Mom and Dad and to take some short sight-seeing trips in northern Ohio. On Thursday evening, we went to the carrousel in downtown Mansfield and visited the library there, which has a beautiful kids' section. On Friday, we drove to Lakeside, a resort town on Lake Erie. The weather was beautiful, sunny and 75-80 degrees. Our first stop was their "Central Park," where Emma played on the playground and we ate a picnic lunch. We also had fun on the beach (the lake was too cold, even for Emma's taste) and at the kiddie pool. Finally, we browsed the shops and ate ice cream. Friday night, Jason and Kristen joined us at Mom and Dad's. On Saturday, we drove over to a nearby state park lodge and purchased day passes for their pool. The water was chilly (although thankfully not as chilly as Lake Erie), but we enjoyed helping Emma swim back and forth between us (and yes, she really can swim now; I'll blog about it soon). We also spent some time in the warmer indoor pool. Again, the weather was beautiful, just like it was on Friday. Our last hurrah was a cookout at Mom and Dad's, followed by a campfire complete with s'mores and ghost stories, and finally, an early celebration of Father's Day with cake and gifts for Dad. Of course, Emma received a lot of attention throughout this trip, and she didn't want to leave!
