Our field trip to Cincinnati

 

 Michael was asked to come to Cincinnati for training this past week, so we decided to make the most of it!  Despite the fact that Joel had been suffering from a stomach bug, we loaded up with buckets and bleach and a prayer and made our way to Ohio!

We drove straight to the Cincinnati Zoo and had a blast there!  Polar bears, manatees, giraffes, cheetah races, a 4D movie, train ride, and 4 times on the carousel were just some of our favorites things.

 

 

Then the next day, we loaded up and headed to a local park that is a working farm as well.

We had fun playing with the animals, catching tadpoles, pumping water with the windmill, and playing on the playground!

 

 

 

The next day, we headed to the country and rode a train through beautiful Ohio.  We got to ride in an open air car, blow the horn, and check out the engine.

 

 

Then we headed over to a park that has a huge 2 story tree house play room with ball pit and tons of slides.  They boys could have played there all day.

At nights we swam in the hotel pool.  That was Clark's favorite part by far! 

We are back home, and I have to say it's so nice to have a vacation to help you see what you really have! 


Oh...No one else got sick, and Joel was a trooper.
We got to spend some great quality time together all day and all night!!
And we only spent $60 for the whole four day trip!  Whoo hoo! 
That's a great vacation!
