Nothing like the Nati

Next highlight... a trip to my hometown- Cincinnati! (Yes, this was in July!)

For the past few years, while Shawn is studying for the BAR (poor guy!), the boys and I have made a summer trip to be with my family. Ory still talks about wanting to go Papa and Nana's house and this is why...

My parents house is a kid's dream... swimming

Orin even got to swim with the big boys... Uncle Jake & the football team! He was lovin' it!

Golf

Jumping or more like wrestling on the trampoline

Playing with Nana's homemade play dough

My boys were also horribly spoiled... they ate steak almost every night (one of the few things Brody would eat!) and of course, ate ice cream with Uncle Matt!

Adventures:

Papa took Ory on a few outings... my dad is such an amazing grandpa! They went to the Newport Aquarium and the Red's baseball game.

I don't think they actually were able to watch any of the game... pretty much chasing Ory!

Playing at Sparky's water park

Our other adventures were with my best friend growing up, Tiffany, and her adorable little girls are the same ages of my little boys. We had a blast swimming at their "castle" as Ory called it, going to the Cincinnati Zoo, and the Children's Museum @ Union Terminal!

Brody is obsessed with animals and LOVED the petting zoo!

The highlights for me were:

Seeing good friends from high school! Yay! They both look amazing!

Eating Graeter's Black Raspberry Chip ice cream

Going to The Gap Outlet (found a Banana dress for $20! Love it!)

Scrapbooking at my mom's store: Scraps, etc...

Going on walks

Being home
