Cincinnati Zoo 2010


We are settling in after a weekend away with family. We headed up to Cincinnati Friday night to celebrate our nephew's 2nd birthday. We got up early Saturday morning and hit the zoo with our 3 nephews, bro & sis-in-law, and Jeff's parents.

We had a great day. Let me start off by saying it was HOT. Really. REALLY H.O.T. But, everyone did really well. Very few meltdowns, lots of water & ice, and lots of stops in areas to cool down. The zoo was beautiful. Very well kept and had a great children's area that included a large petting zoo. The kids had a great time in the goat pin.

Of course, I had to admit a pic of all the kiddos together. Its starting to get comical. It is what it is! You can tell in all of the pics how sweaty we were. Poor Leah is a sweaty girl anyway. She reacts to the heat fast, so Mama poured water on her head all day! ha She liked it. I almost asked someone to pour it on me. :)


Regardless of the heat we made it back to the hotel for a quick nap before a yummy dinner out and swimming. Sunday am Leah's earring came out and it was quite tramatic putting it back in. Ugh. I m not ready to relive that experience. Phew. Then it was off to Ridge's birthday party.....

Your kids are so well-traveled. I think it is good to start out life on the move so they grow up with some flexibility and curiosity to do new things. I bet the girls loved the trip. Theodore would like to get his hands on some goats. I wish we'd all seen each other more this summer. Without going into details, it was a HOT MESS. I haven't seen anybody but Theo. I'm looking forward to going back to work because I somehow had more free time. What the heck?
