Cincinnati Highlights

We always treasure our time in Cincinnati where the days are filled with family and fun.Some of our favorite moments were:

• playing outside and cooling off in the little pool

• tea parties on the back deck

• lots and lots of dress up

• watching the movie Ice Age 4 at the theater and getting a picture with one of the chipmunks

• basketball camp with Grandpa where Xander practiced dribbling, rebounding, shooting, and passing

• waiting in long lines along with the rest of those who supported Chick Fil-A Appreciation Day

• the water park

• the playground

• helping Grandma and Grandpa around the house and yard

• celebrating Grandma's birthday; first we made cards, then opened cards and gifts...

and then headed to Graters for some yummy ice cream.  My brother Bryan spent a lot of time with us but amazingly enough this was the only picture I got of him this visit!

• holding Ciara A LOT!  Whenever we got the chance!

• watching the Olympics.  Our favorites were soccer, especially the exciting USA v Canada semi-final game; that was definitely one of the best soccer games I've ever watched!  Also swimming, gymnastics, volleyball and beach volleyball, and track and field.  I also thought the team rhythmic gymnastics was beautiful!
• after watching the Olympics the kids decided to have fun with their own events that included races, duck duck goose, and wheelbarrow races

We can't wait for our next visit there!
