Summer Trip: Springfield, Ohio

About a week ago, i flew to Springfield, Ohio to visit Wally and his family.It was my first time meeting them. I'll admit i was a little nervous meeting them, but they all made me feel so welcome. They were all so very nice, we had a lot of good laughs together during the whole weekend. All of us came from all parts of the country to meet there. I flew from Arizona, wally flew from Oklahoma, both the sisters and their husbands flew from Canada, and his parents came from Nigeria. Wally and I stayed in a really nice Marriott hotel. The weather was just perfect there, it was nice break from the really hot Arizona weather. Springfield is nice and quiet little town. I never realized how good it was to see nice plush green grass, i'm so used to not seeing much of it in AZ. I got finally meet Wally's parents, his two sisters and their husbands, and his brother. I felt so honored and special that i was invited to meet his family and celebrate their dad's birthday with them.

Above: Bola had never ridden a riding lawn mower before, I thought that was funny. just had to get a pic of her doing something that most people that have grass hate doing. She seemed to enjoy it though. I know her brother didn't mind it, she ended up mowing most of the yard
