We started our Stay=cation on Wednesday and with a little church history. The John Johnson farm in Hiram, Ohio. Here we are on the original front porch steps. The prophet Joseph Smith and his family stayed here for about a year with the Johnson's.
This was also the place where he was dragged out of bed and tarred and feathered. He also received a few sections of the Doctrine and Covenants here, as well as was working on translating the bible.
In front of some of the Johnson land. Later this was used as a church farm. They grew strawberries and something else, can't remember:-).
Afterward we had lunch at the Amish restaurant.
Leah was a little under the weather, so we took it easy the next day and went to Huntington Beach,
Lake Erie.
Lando ba dando
It was a red flag day, which meant the waves were too high so no swimming, only wading.
Friday we went out to Cedar Point, our first time there.
Leah was tall enough to ride some of the big roller coasters, and was pretty brave. We ended up taking her on the magnum, which we didn't know what we were going on until after we got off. She also rode with us on the wooden roller coaster.
On Saturday the 'rents watched the kids while M and I went down to the Columbus Temple.
On Monday we took the rents up to Little Italy to Mama Presti's Bakery and played on the playground.
That afternoon we had the rocket launch.
Tuesday we took the kids to the zoo.
Rode the train.
Thanks for coming Grandma and Grandpa! We enjoyed having you:-)
