Experiencing Toledo!

Last weekend, my sweet friend from clear back in the 4th grade, Ashley, ventured out here to Toledo! She is living in Milwaukee and decided to make the trek east just to see US! We were thrilled to have a visitor; someone new to experience the thriving metropolis that is TOLEDO!

We had fun eating apple donuts from MacQueens, devouring icecream from Handel's, staying up late to watch the Olympics, wandering the Maumee Summer Fair, and hitting up a REAL movie theater to see a total chick-flick, while Eric stayed home with Sam! I cannot tell you the last time I saw a movie in the theater...it was so great! :) Sam loved having a new friend to play with and tricked Ashley into reading to him and playing trains several times.

The entire time Ash was here, we kept forgetting to take pictures!! We finally made up for things on the last day at the Maumee parade and fair. I must admit I'm not really in a picture posing mood these days...hot, sweaty, and HUGE don't make for the most glamorous shots! Especially when you have to stand next to someone as tiny and cute as Ashley!!! :)

Thanks for coming!! Toledo misses you already!
