Kent, Ohio


This is the perfect little house Eric grew up in. Isnt it so picturesque?? I love it and pictures can't even quite do it justice. It's like a perfect little house. The kids and I flew out here Monday morning early. It was my first time traveling with the 2 kids by myself. It was a little busy but not to bad. I would do it again. Monday and Tuesday it was cold out but today is started warming up here so we were able to be outside and enjoy the incredible surrounding out here. I cannot even quit telling Sue how beautiful Ohio is. It really is the most quaint, pretty place and so green too. This morning I went on a run into downtown Kent and I wished I had my camera with me everytime I passed and old house or cute little corner shop. It is such a cool place.


Ady and Max is grandma Sue's garden.



The Kandell's beautiful home and yard



Max in the woods... he kept trying to eat all the pinecones...What the heck Max?



Ady and Grandma exploring the mushroom cave.



Can you believe this is their yard? What a dream!!


The pond in the Kandell's yard is home to some ducks that Ady and Max want to chase...





Feeding the donkeys "Gabe" and "Gladie", the whole plane ride Ady kept saying "We are going to Grandma and Grandpa and the donkeys house!!" She LOVES the donkeys... what kid wouldnt't?


I wanted to post all these pics of Grandma and Grandpa Kandell's place because I am always telling people that their home is "kid paradise" so I thought I would show why we think that. They also have a pool the kids can swim in once it is a little warmer later in the summer. Now, can you think of anywhere better for kids to play? We can't!

That is picturesque to say the least. It looks like a bed and breakfast or something. It looks like your kiddos love it there. I'm sure Grandma and Grandpa factor in to it a little!
