Part 2: My busy day continues! Great Grandpa Al, Great Grandpa Jim and Great Aunt Sue came over for dinner. After dinner I played in the yard, rode my bike and helped grandma water plants. Since I was still full of energy, we decided to get some desert at "The Cone". I had my first blue ice cream cone and rode on lots of rides. I had a blast and slept like a rock! Helping grandma water her flowers.

Day 4 Ohio Trip Saturday July 19, 2008

Saturday, July 19, 2008.

Today my mommy, daddy and I started preparing for Adams Christening. (Really grandma Denise & Grandpa Bob did all the work) We first went to Jungle Jims (a store that has everything you can think of) to pick up Adams Christening cake and Kristins birthday cake. We went to three different stores in search of flowers to put on the tables and Krogers finally had what mommy was looking for. Our next stop was to Hallmark to pick up gifts for the Godparents. By this time I was done shopping and very hungry, luckily I saw the big BLUE S sign (Skyline); and who could resist a big cheese coney? The rest of the day I spent swimming in the pool. Be sure to check out the swimming video at the bottom of the page!I love this place but I think my mom and dad love it even more. They can't resist the Skyline 4 way!
Yum, yum, yum! This is the best cheese coney ever! They really piled on the cheese this time.

Pool and counting fun!

Day 5 Part 1 Adams Baptisim Sunday, July 20, 2008

Today is the day we have all been waiting for... I am being Christened! Before I begin, I am going to give you a brief family history lesson that will explain why today is so special!

Family History FH101

1. In 1899 my Great, Great, Great Grandmother Agnes McAuley lived in Scotland and hand made a christening gown for her son James McAuley .
2. James McAuley is my Great, Great Grandfather. He was born on June 20, 1899 and was baptised at St. Mongos Church in Glasgoiv Scotland, in the christening gown his mother Agnes made.
3. My Great Grandmother Diane Leesman is the daughter of James McAuley and she was also christened in the gown, as well as her brother.
4. My Grandma Denise Meyer was christened in the gown as well as her bothers and sisters. Which would include my Great uncle Don, Great Aunt Debbie, Great Uncle David, Great Aunt Danette and my Great Uncle Denny (who is my sisters godfather)!
5. My mommy Jennifer Chorak was also christened in the gown, as well a her brothers. Which would be my Uncle Greg and Uncle Andrew.
6. My sister Sarah Marie Chorak was christened in the gown as well.
7. I Adam Robert Chorak was christened in the gown on July 20, 2008 by Father Mark at St. Johns Church in Ohio.

So as you can see this hand made christening gown is a 109 years old, has been passed down through five generations and fourteen people have worn it (that we know of)!


Enjoy the photos, videos and captions!
