Summer Recap Part I

Totally have been slacking with updating our blog this summer!! I'll give some highlights! We have been having a blast enjoying the parks in the area, the pool, splash park, Luke pushing his mower around and taking very many jogs (and walks) in the jogger and the wagon. Luke loves the outside and cannot get enough of it! Here are some highlights...
For my birthday in May (my last year in my 20s!), my mom treated me to a trip to Dresden, OH to see the Longaberger basket company HQ and factory. We had so much fun. Below you'll see their HQ building...of course, a huge basket! Funniest thing ever. Supposedly, the handles are heated and move so the snow/ice do not ruin the buidling. The dark spots you see are the windows. Can you imagine going to a basket every day for work!?!? We actually went inside and it's a really nice place. Baskets everywhere...
Closer look...
The largest apple basket in the world!! I guess the first Longaberger basket was made to be an apple basket. Huge! Seriously baskets where everywhere...everything in the stores were stored in Longabergers, all trash cans, even in the cafe, the straws/napkins were stored in longabergers. Unbelievable!

Thanks mom for a great trip! We had so much fun!
