First we threw a shower for my sister-in-law, Shana, who is due with their first baby in September. She got lots of fun stuff...that I am sure she will figure out how to use soon! Lots of friends and family came and it was great to catch up. Luckily Grace slept for most of the shower but when she was up Aunt Cindy and Sheri entertained her (or maybe she entertained them).
My parents had never been to their Aquarium so off we went! The aquarium is actually on the river in Kentucky so you could see the whole city from the entrance. Jake loved to see all the bridges. We saw all kinds of fish and they have a HUGE alligator named Mighty Mike. We went to a show were the divers were swimming with all kinds of sharks...yikes! But they have a turtle and Julianna followed his every move.
The next day we went to the butterfly show. This is the 3rd year we have done it and once again it was a hit. There weren't as many butterflies as usual and we thought it was a bust until a nice lady handed Jake a flower with a butterfly on it. Then it flew on his shirt and he was in heaven! When the butterfly landed on Julianna she screamed and cried. Funny she is scared of the most random things.
So the next day we went to the zoo (I told you it was a busy week!). They have a beautiful zoo in Cincinnati. Every time I go I feel like it's totally different. As usual the kids had a wonderful time seeing all the animals. Jake just runs from animal to animal but Julianna could sit there for hours and watch them. Their little personalities are so interesting.
We did lots of other fun things too! They blow up a small pool in the backyard and the kids play in it every day. I took Jake swimming at Lisa's house, we got milkshakes, went out to lunch a few times, went shopping and they watched the kids so I could go out to dinner and a movie with my very BEST friend, Lisa! Thanks Grandma and Poppy for a fantastic week...see you next year!
