Ohio 2012

A motley crew

Theresa and Nathan

Frazee's pool was a life saver

4 wheelin' with Uncle Bo

Paintballing with Uncle Bo hurts, huh Alex?

Kateri's namesake to be canonized a saint soon.

Dad

We drove to Ohio and stayed with Uncle Josue and Aunt Karrie.  We swam in Aunt Theresa and Uncle Nathan's pool.  The boys' shot lots of BIG guns.
Lots of quality time with the cousins and a great evening at the Gallia County Fair to see cousin Garrett show his lamb.  And of course we drove home with lots of plants from Grandma and Grandpa's nursery.
We stopped at Uncle Bo and Aunt Ann's house on the way home and saw LOTS of Amish.  Next year we want to stay there longer to go see the Amish way of life.

The Siblings

12 Grandkids

Of course... Guns!

Shrine of the North American Martyrs

And on the way home we stopped at the Shrine of the North American Martyrs in Auriesville, NY.  What a beautiful and peaceful place!  We stopped to see Blessed Kateri b/c she will be canonized in Rome Oct. 21st, 2012.  And we all know we won't be going to Rome, so we did a small pilgrimage to NY in honor of the 1st Native American saint.
