Middle America Meanderings, Part 1
On Wednesday our family arrived, weary but rejoicing, from a week's travels in Ohio and Michigan (but mostly Ohio). Several days ago I posted about our first destination, Temple Baptist Church in Portsmouth Ohio.
After our stay in Portsmouth we traveled up to Fresno, where we spent the rest of the week. After an amazing time with the folks at Fresno Bible Church we visited friends in Michigan.
These days were so eventful for us that it would take me several blog posts to do them justice. So I am just going to post pictures of the highlights here.
The Rolling Ridge Ranch
This is a unique place where people ride in a horse-drawn wagon among exotic animals from all over the world. We were guests of Pastor Chris Cutshall of the Fresno Bible Church.
Pot-bellied pigs. Notice the herd of piglets in the background.

The Indians Game
Courtesy of a member of Fresno Bible Church, we were given front-row tickets to a Cleveland Indians game.
Mikey is ready for some baseball!
Just to give you an idea of where our seats were located...
At one point we were accosted by an overly-enthusiastic hot dog...
And there was some actual baseball that went on. Final score, Indians 3, A's 2.
Due to time and space constraints, I am going to continue this tomorrow. Stay tuned...
Talk back to the missionary: Anybody been to these places, or places like them? Tell us about it in the comments section.

Jeff,
It was a lot of fun. Did you guys visit there when you lived in Ohio?
