Family Fall Updates

It's hard to believe that N has only been in the country for less than 6 weeks! We have found a good balance of fast-paced fun and slow-paced family bonding. Despite the more relaxed pace of life, he has had a few big adventures.

Labor Day brought N's first trip to Kelley's Island!! We weren't sure until last minute if we would make it, so we decided to surprise P's family. Only one cousin knew we were on our way (to make sure our beds were still available). It was so fun to surprise Grandma the Great and the rest of the cousins. Some highlights: N's (most likely) first experience at the beach (he was not impressed), meeting LOTS of family, golf cart rides and those little firework poppers.

We've taken a few trips to the zoo. During the first trip, N was pretty much expressionless. I guess he was taking it all in? The second trip was more exciting. He loved the monkeys and the penguins. 

And we went to a local high school football game to cheer on our neighbor. The big kids were in heaven, and have been reenacting the football game ever since. N wasn't phased by the crowds or noise or chaos. He was amazingly chill. We didn't stay until the end, but our team won...incase you were wondering :) Our neighbor scored three touchdowns in the second half to come from behind against our biggest rivals. No big deal :) Go #5!
