We went back to Cincinnati (via Buffalo, NY where Bob played disc golf on Grand Island and Pokagon State Park in NE Indiana) to visit the grandchildren. Here Elsa is helping to put the feet down on Snoopy.
Looking at my earrings.
Henry and Olive.
We watched Andrew and Elsa participate in a soccer skills class which involved running, dribbling, changing directions, freezing and kicking the ball into the goal. Elsa got a Strider bike from Henry and we worked on riding too.
We also went to the Deerfield Township "Touch the Truck" event where they had every conceivable type of vehicle (fire engines, ambulances, SWAT Team vehicles, ATVs, Ohio State Patrol motor cycles, dump trucks, snow plows, a helicopter ambulance, a chance to shoot a fire hose at a house, etc.). Elsa's favorite was this Kubota tractor.
Elsa is a real train fanatic and Andrew arranged to go to Lebanon, Ohio for a Thomas the Train event. We rode a real train with Thomas "pulling" it (though there was a real engine). There were all sorts of associated activities (bouncing gyms, videos of Thomas, train sets, etc.). Elsa was really excited. 
The conductor let Elsa wear his hat.
Henry is three weeks old and keeping his parents up. He's just learning to keep a pacifier in his mouth and managed to sleep for 4 1/2 hours one night. His parents are both sleep deprived. He has Andrew's hair line and is loved by his parents, big sister and Olive.
