Our Ohio Trip (Monday)

(Day 25)

Monday, July 9th


It's Desmond's Birthday!!



He was so extremely excited to be spending his birthday with his cousins and his Uncle Ricky!

We started the day by eating his favorite breakfast which I hurriedly had to go to the store to get before he woke up. (Donuts, in case you were wondering!) Then after breakfast we packed our bags again and heading out to Hocking Hills, Ohio for a couple of nights in a cabin surrounded by forests and nature.

The boys weren't too thrilled about getting back into the car so soon so I let Dez open a few presents on the way.

Before we got to our cabin, we stopped to go hiking at a place called Ash Cave. It was absolutely beautiful!


The paths were nice enough to bring baby boy in the stroller.

Future geologist perhaps?


Doing some exploring


Dax was taking in everything!





Desmond having a good time, Dax not so much. He wanted to get down and play but couldn't due to the sand.


At the top of the cave looking down.



After our hike we arrived at the most awesome cabin I've ever been to! It was completely surrounded by trees, had a wrap-around porch, and a hot tub. As soon as we got there, I began to decorate for Buster's party.



This picture wasn't meant t show off my awful decorating skills, but rather the interior of the cabin!

The only bad thing about the cabin? The water smelled like sulphur. I mean straight up rotten eggs. We took the quickest showers of our life there. When we would go out, one of us would be just standing there in our group and randomly say, "Ugh, We STINK!". That's how bad it was. I was grateful for the baby lotion I had brought because you better believe I slathered it on heavily!

We had a party for Buster next!

  
We started off with Buster's favorite dinner: waffles!


We passed out party favors....


And played games....



Opened presents...



Dax helped.



We sang happy birthday and had a delicious cookie cake!



And then ended the night enjoying the hot tub outside.



Needless to say, Desmond had a great birthday!
