Kentucky Summer

I took the kids out this summer to see Britta and the girls. It was the first time the kids had been on a plane and they were so excited to fly! Carson even got to go into the cockpit and meet the pilot. He thought it was awesome! And to say my kids had a good time in Kentucky would be an understatement! That is all they have talked about since we got home! We had so much fun there with the cousins. The kids played and played and played some more. They even did their own "Frozen" play that they performed for Britta and I. It was really cute.

Britta had a pass to the Y, the local pool and we went there several times. The kids all love to swim so they really enjoyed being there and being able to swim with their cousins. They took a lot of cute pictures there, fun poses with their cousins. Britta had the sister missionaries over for dinner one night and I realized that one of them lives really close to my neighborhood at home, small world!

We also spent a lot of time in Cincinnati. It's pretty close to where Britta lives. We went to a really cool park there and walked on the Purple People Bridge which crosses from Ohio to Kentucky. It is absolutely beautiful there. I loved being able to drive around and see it. We also went to the Cincinnati Museums. There are 3 all in one so we spent all day there. They had a museum of Natural History, a Children's Museum and the Cincinnati History Museum. There were lots and lots of cool things to see there. We also saw an IMAX movie about Lemurs that the kids really enjoyed.

We spent another day there at Coney Island in Cincinnati. It is an amusement park and waterpark all in one. The kids had so much fun on the rides and the swimming pool was amazing! It had waterslides and diving boards and was just huge. The kids loved it. We spent the whole day there going on rides and swimming and having lots and lots of fun!

The last day we were there we went to the Cincinnati Zoo which was amazing. It is HUGE! The kids have never been to a Zoo so I am glad their first time was this one. There were so many cool things to see. They got to pet turtles and there was a goat petting zoo that they could brush the hair of the goats. They had a bird show that was really cool and hula hooping and lots lots more. The kids really enjoyed the day there. It was hard to leave and come home after having so much fun there! We hope we can go out and see her again and the kids can play together, the cousins sure enjoyed eachother and I had so much fun hanging out with Britta!
