Newport Aquarium in Cincinnati

We packed up all the kids and headed to Newport Aquarium while in Ohio. It was a great time. The kids got to see sharks, crabs, turtles and tons of fish! Even Nemo and his home (the anemone). They fed some birds, one of the birds thought Abby was food and took a nibble of her arm. She had to show everyone where her bite was (hence the teary eyed photo). She was a good sport and got back in the action and eventually fed the bird. Grandma even had a bird land on her shoulder. The kids ran and played like crazy. They saw some huge crabs that I thought would make a great dinner! Tyler was worn out by the end of it all.

Quick trip to Ohio

Abigail, Tyler and I headed to Ohio to visit family while Paul stayed home to study and get caught up with some things for school. It was a nice drive up - both kids slept a bit and watched movies. Tyler is now at a point where I can hand him a baggie of goldfish and he can eat them by himself. So nice!! Abby is in a booster seat so she can push the button to start the movies. Makes my drive much easier! The kids had a great time playing with their cousins. Abby, Owen and Noah are like the 3 amigos! Poor Tyler just got yelled at alot because he tends to destroy train tracks and tables in a split second!

Greensboro Childrens Museum II

Owen and Noah came down to visit Abby this past weekend. We took the kids to the children's museum since it was 96 degrees outside on Saturday! The kids had a great time and took great naps when we got home. Abby and Noah had the most fun dressing up in costumes. Abby cried when we left the dresses behind :) Abby made a really funny face while I was taking her picture, but then she did a great job of taking a "bow" afterwards. Very dramatic!

Sesame Street Live

Mom, Rhonda, Owen and Noah came down for a visit this weekend while Paul was off on his annual camping trip. We took the kids to see Sesame Street Live in Greensboro on Friday night. The kids had a blast! They were really great until the very end, when it got a bit crazy. :)

They each got an Elmo balloon and loved them! Noah and Abby fed each other popcorn, and they all clapped and danced to the music.
