pennsylbania

while i was packing to leave for our trip nash and i had a little chat about where we were going. i told him we were flying on the plane all the way to pennsylvania. he thought for a minute, "pennsylbania?" he asked, and then, "what's a pencil?" confused, i replied, "it's what you color and draw with, you know that, silly." and then he asked, "well, what color is bania?" oh this guy is too cute. if i had to answer him, i'd definitely say that "bania" = green. see for yourself:

our trip was full of fun little moments like taking a walk on the old train bridge with grandma & great grandma


catching fireflies

roasting marshmallows & making smores

playing in the rain with uncle andybob

skipping rocks and taking a little dip in the allegheny river 

six plane rides, two tram rides, a taxi ride, and two nights in a hotel (nash is really proud to have done all that, for me those parts were probably the least fun). we took a little tiny commuter plane from cleveland to franklin (and back) and when we landed nash exclaimed "the captain did a great job flying, mama!" he then stuck his head into the cockpit and let the captain know what a great job he'd done.

it was a pretty exhausting trip if you can't tell...oh, and someone got a haircut and a shiner.

the end.
