I had some “use it or lose it vacation” so took the day off and we headed for Indy. We have a membership to the Cincinnati Children’s Museum, and it’s pretty fun, but the Indy museum was even better! If you get a chance, be sure to check out the Barbie wing and The Power of Children exhibit. We spent the whole day there, and didn’t even get through the whole thing!

Cassie finally said yes, so now all of the girls have their ears pierced. Kind of sad in a way, they’re growing up.

Sampson is a Weimaraner, and will turn 1 this Saturday! We just picked him up today, from a family that didn’t want him anymore. He has an issue with eating food off of the table, but otherwise seems like a good boy.

We had a really good Halloween season this year, felt much longer than usual. This year I think Cassie had the best costume, an ice cream cone!
Lily, Ava and I took another camping trip with friends, this past weekend, and had a blast! This year we did Hocking Hillls, and had a lot of fun. We hit Old Man’s Cave, which has some pretty steep drop-offs and then Ash Cave which was nice because the kids could just run around and play in the dirt.
We stayed at a KOA campground, and the Gem Mine was pretty fun! Bought a bucket of dirt, then all of the kids found their gems. For breakfast on Saturday, they had a “build your cereal” bar and Ava had some cocoa puffs with skittles; yum!!
Family vacation #2, not as much fun as Disney but we still had a good time! We had to go up near Cleveland for a wedding in late July, so we figured we’d make a vacation out of it. We spent 2 days in Put In Bay, at the Put-in-Bay Resort and loved it! We had a huge, 3-story condo there and it was just the 5 of us.
We finished the trip at Cedar Point and it was so-so. We did a night pass, so only spent ~4 hours in the park. Park was fine, some of the new coasters look pretty cool (we were stuck on the tea cups!) but otherwise the experience sucked. The Hotel Breakers absolutely sucked! $250 for the night, and our room was very small with a 20″ piece-o-crap TV. The kids were zonked by 9:30, would have been nice to watch some TV…
