Ohio

We've been having Tons of fun in Ohio with Big J's sister and brother-in-law! They are one of our last stops before heading back into school life. I have yet to post many pics from our Utah stay but my computer hasn't been liking blogger much this summer so I got frustrating wasting time trying to add stuff and thus have been pretty silent. (obviously I'm going in backward order and will post more from earlier days later)

Kiddies loving kittens!!! Little J would be loving them too but he gets to coughing pretty bad when in the 'kitty room'--even with meds. They are adorable kittens!



These were all taken in a small, but beautiful botanical garden close by. We also went to the art museum the same day and saw some pretty awesome stuff from Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, Matisse, Renoir, and more.

We went out to Kirtland! The temple was so beautiful and quite a work of skillful art. It was really cool to be inside where so much church history took place.


Close to the temple is an area that has many original or replica buildings from the Kirtland era and it was interesting to tour them. I found the ashery and sawmill particularly interesting as well as this Newel K. Whitney store that is about 85% original. Way cool!
