Back to Cinci

When we originally planned our summer trip to Cincinnati, we scheduled our visit for late July into early August. We then found out that my parents were going to be in Utah for some of that time and we would only be able to spend a couple days with them. So, we decided to visit Cincinnati twice this summer just cuz we can!
It's good to be back!!

These two are too cute!!  They are definitely best buds!

Bracelet makers.

Unlike last summer the weather this year was absolutely beautiful while we were in Cincinnati thus ensuring lots and lots of pool time!

I love these group shots!

This summer was all about chicken fights!

Ashy's face is priceless!!!

Try as they might, the other kids had a tough time beating Ashy and Sav...they were quite the team!

Switching up teams!

Winners!

More fun jump-in shots!

When cousins had to go home the kids enjoyed time in the pool with dad.

We spent some time up at the Clarks house as well which is always fun for the kids.

They even opened their own restaurant.

Our summers in Cinci just wouldn't be the same without time spent with Uncle Bryan. He always keeps us laughing!

We took the kids to see the Minions movie.

And my parents treated me and David to The Precinct for our 20th anniversary dinner. It was so spectacularly yummy!

The last few days we were there Grandma pulled out a new game she had bought for some poolside fun. It's a cross between tether ball and paddle ball. The kids loved it!

The time we spend in Cincinnati is so precious to us and I'm so grateful that we live close enough to be able to visit several times a year. My kids love their cousins and grandparents and aunts and uncles so much and have developed such close relationships with them. I hope they will always look back on their summer visits to Cincinnati as some of the best times in their lives.
