When we got there we went to Presque Isle to look at Lake Erie. While we were there, we went for a stroll along the beach with my dad. It's quite a bit chillier there than in Texas.
I love this picture of me and my dad. It was really good to get to spend some quality time with him even though it was a quick visit. He is flying down for thanksgiving, so I will get to see him again soon. Yea!
This is the creek that runs behind my dad's house. Look at all of the fishermen! There were so many of them. On Friday night we got to see a big group of them at the Hibachi restaurant we ate dinner at. It was interesting and yummy!
After breakfast Saturday, we drove back to Ohio and met up with Matt's family at Uncle Allen's house for lunch. There was lots of great food and fellowship. I really enjoyed gettting to meet so many people on Matt's dad's side of the family. I feel like I learned so much more about his family. After lunch we drove around town and got a tour from Matt's mom and dad. Here is the only Walmart in the world with a hitching post for horse drawn buggies.
There are so many Amish people that live in the area... here are a few that were just leaving the Walmart. It was so interesting.
In the evening we went to a ceremony where Matt's gradparents renewed their wedding vows on their 50th wedding anniversary. Here we are in the church where they were originally married! God has really blessed them. Praise God for all that he has done in their lives!
Here are his grandparent (Skip and Trudy) as they renew their vows. Grandma Wear looked so pretty in her pink dress!
Very romantic... kissing his bride 50 years later! I hope Matt and I do something similar to this on our 50th anniversary!
It was a quick trip, but I am so glad we went! Thanks to my dad, Matt's parent, and all of the rest of Matt's family! You guys made the trip!Hello to all of my blog readers that I just met! I'm so happy to know you!
