Columbus

Team Bisson and our great friends the Kahoun's

This past weekend we went to visit Columbus, OH. It is only a 4.5 hour drive and Simon had to go for work so we all taqgged along. We were able to crash at our dear friends the Kahoun's. They have a 3 year old Jake and a 1 year old Audrey so the kids were all very busy all weekend.



We all haven't been back to Coluumbus since we moved 2 years ago. While Simon goes there quite frequently for work, it is a little more difficult for us all to pack up and go. For starters, we are all home-bodies and love being in our own beds. Lulu just kept saying on the last day..."I want to go home" But one of the main reasons is that once you visit an awesome city like Columbus aqnd awesome friends it is extremely hard to get in the car and come back to Michigan. While we are finding our way slowly but surely in Michigan, it is nothing like the time we had in Columbus and we miss it tremendously along with our many, friends we left there.



The Kahoun's were great host's and we were able to do some of our favorite things while we were there..... Chinese for dinner, the zoo, shopping, hitting some of my favorite stores, grilling out, and a big fire and beers on Saturday night. Sunday we hit an awesome park. The kids had a blast and the park and slides were so huge the adults could take part!

To put the park to scale, that is Ruthie at the bottom of the slide. HUGE!

I was able to visit with my friend Amy Jo and her new 4 week old baby Sutton. Yet, there just doesn't seem to be enough time to do everything and see everyone. I guess, now that my sister is moving back to Columbus in the next month and the fact that she has a pool in her backyard leads me to believe we will be returning much sooner than in another 2 years. I just hope it gets easier. I mean, I thought I died and went to heaven just going into a real grocery store! I have heard of retail therapy but it usually doesn't include a grocery store. Yet, when you don't have grocery stores like those you really grow to miss it.

Ruthie's first boyfriend. He must have kissed her a million times while we were there. He would chase her around and kiss her. I wonder where he gets that from Cory?
