Jack had his Buckeye Trip with Daddy this past weekend. They had a great time. They left early on Friday morning and drove to Columbus. Stayed in their favorite hotel, swam at the pool, ate Wendy's for dinner and made chocolate chip cookies in their hotel room. ALL traditions that Jack and Daddy do EVERY year.

Saturday they were up bright and early and ate breakfast at our favorite Bob Evans Restaurant and were parked in the lot by 8:30 am. They did some "tailgatin'" as Jack calls it, and just hung out doing Dad and son stuff in the lot. They had fun at the game, Jack was excited the Buckeyes won the game. Saturday after the game they stopped to visit our friends the Townsleys in Columbus before they headed to the farm.

Buckman and Tressel look alike
I promise you, Scott cries every time the band comes in the stadium, and I guarantee you he's crying now looking at the picture
Sweet sweet Buckeye boys
Would you believe it if I told you that John Townsley, left, was in our wedding :)
...and so was his little sister Jackie
Sunday morning was bright and early. They checked out Grandpa's farm equipment before church...then after church they had lunch at the hot spot known as the "Dalton Dariette" with Aunt Kathy too. Then they headed to the Wayne County Fair. This is the fair that Scott grew up going to, showing animals and corn at as well. He has never missed the fair. Of course MY personal favorite part of the fair at the donuts. LERCH'S DONUTS...mmm we all love them.

Jack was THRILLED to get to do the trampoline,
we didn't get it done at the Iowa State Fair this year
He is FAR braver than his Mom
Monday morning they packed it up from the farm, picked a few pumpkins to take home, thank you grandpa Shisler...and headed out. They swung by the fair to pick up a couple of boxes of Lerch's Donuts to bring home for the rest of us. 12 hours later...they were home. Safe and Sound.

What a great trip they had, a weekend that Jack will remember for a very long time, memories that are priceless for both Daddy and Son. We missed them here but KNOW how special these times are for the boys...and for their Dad.
Sounds amazing!!
