Ohio in the summer...

 First stop Don and Bev's in Findlay. My sister in law had a PERFECT lunch ready for us after our 2 1/2 day drive from the oven to the cool weather of Ohio.

One happy husband eating fresh corn, tomatoes, and fresh fruit salad. Perfect Bev. Thanks!

PS Chesley was first to sit down and start eating. He was so excited about the Ohio corn and Bev pulled through big time. Made the drive worth it right off the bat.

 Below are the Naked Ladies in full bloom. See picture above and you'll see them out the window behind Chesley. I blogged about these beauties last year.

Mary Elizabeth giving Auntie Pam a smile between bits. :)

 Lucy taking a break to give Auntie Pam a smile.

My niece, Mary, and kiddos came over to see us. What a fun surprise and what adorable children.

Below is Lucy and Elizabeth walking over the bridge in my brothers front yard.

Look Auntie Pam a baby snake. (see Chesley standing in the back ground). 

Only love of nature here in the country.

 Noah found a baby toad.

If you look hard you will see (in very big chalk drawing) I (heart) U. Good job Lucy. We love you too.

After that wonderful welcome in Findlay we headed to Catawba Island for my dads but first our favorite place... Bergmans Farm Market.

Below you will see a MAN ON A MISSION!

Where does he look first. So much to see so much to decide and choose from.

Peaches

 Plums

 Melons (huge melons)

and last but not least tomatoes. (not as good as Chesley's home grown) But good enough.

Final destination reached. Favorite place to sit. Perfect evening. Two happy campers after roasted chicken and fresh corn dinner. (O forgot the corn picture)

 Mitzi and Maddie loved exploring the grounds and smells.

 Maddie loved watching the boats coming in after a day on the lake.

The sun sets on the first day in Ohio.
