Cincinnati Trip

The last week of July, Josh went to Florida with the church youth group while the rest of us, including Joyce, went to Cincinnati. I was most excited to see this girl, my sis Ashley.

And my adorable nephew Mason. We also got to hang out with my brother who was very helpful in making our stay more comfortable.

We stayed with my mom and the kids favorite part was playing in her awesome blow up pool/slide.

We spent a day in Wapakoneta, OH with our very favorite extended family. My GRANDMA!!!

The kids were quite entertained at Aunt Poo and Uncle Turks house of fun in the country. The highlight for everyone was picking out deer antlers. Jackson was actually drooling over Turk's collection of deer skulls.

They were also amused by picking food and eating it on the spot.

I sure do love these boys! They were in their element, natural country boys.

We were served the best meal EVER, pizza and cookies for dessert. Now Aaron's drooling.

The kids had their first ride on a 4 wheeler. I've never seen smiles so big. Pure joy. THANKs so much for having us!!!

Another day we used our passes to get half off the Cincinnati Zoo.

Great zoo. Loved getting so close to the animals and seeing the new hippo exhibit.

Everyone's favorite was the insect house. I love this picture with Jackson showing love to his baby brother.

On our way out of town we had to see the brand new life size Noah's Ark.

It was pretty impressive but very expensive. Still thankful we got the chance to go.

Great trip! We're planning to make it an annual one. Thanks Joyce for coming with us on another adventure!
