The company where Ethan works had an open house on Saturday to celebrate their 125th anniversary. Even though it has been over two years since he was transferred to Ohio, this is the first time the family has been allowed in the building. It was great timing for us! Every day The Little Princesses ask where Baba is, and we always tell them that he is at work. Abigail has gone through various stages of thinking she understands what that means. In her mind (as she signs it to us) he does everything from drive a truck to being a doctor to building things. In reality he works in information technology, so I'm guessing she still has no idea what he does.
They really enjoyed seeing photos of themselves and photos of us taken in China on his desk.
The company served us snacks in the cafeteria. It was at this point that Jen stopped being suspicious of us for taking her to this unfamiliar and big, official looking building.

Our next stop was in the "Crown Tower" which is a building nearby. Ethan's employer had it built, and leases most of the floors.

The public lobby has a fountain that puts on quite the water and light show, and the girls were fascinated with it.
The twenty-ninth floor isn't leased yet, so they invited us to go up and take a look at the city.
Of course we had to stop and watch the fountain again on the way back out. This time it had some additional special effects that Tikvah referred to as the "grand finale". The Little Princesses clapped and jumped and squealed with delight.

To put the size in perspective, Ethan went across the street to take the last picture. The tiny spots are our children!
