Mini-Vacation

We left on Friday for a mini-vacation. Friday night we had tickets to see the Reds vs. the Brewers. This was mine, as well as the boys, first major league baseball game (I usually stick to t-ball games).

Walker eating a ballpark hotdog. They were yummy, but the nachos were the best!
Will with his souvenoir bat.
Great seats, great weather, and the REDS WON!!!!
Followed by a spectacular fireworks show. Walker fell asleep right before the firework show started. Amazing how he stayed asleep through the show, but as soon as it was over he woke up.

On Saturday we went to the Cincinnati Museum. We started off with Dinosaurs Unearthed.
Here is Walker "cheesing". This is his cheese smile for the camera.
Will with his favorite dinosaur T-Rex.
Then we checked out the Childrens Museum. The boys LOVED this! We ended up staying 6 hours and they didn't want to leave then. The museum is full of different centers that the kids can "play" in. Here are a few pictures in some of their favorite centers, however I think they loved them all, even housekeeping. The names aren't correct, but each center had a main theme.The water center.
The Town Center.

Construction center.
The multi-cultural centers. Will & Walker in the canoe.
The boys favorite center was The Woods. Here is Will, Walker & Shannon in the tree house.
Will & Walker loved the slide in the woods. There is a story about Walker coming halfway down the slide and then screaming at the top of his lungs. We couldn't get him down and he couldn't get back up to the top. I climbed to the top but you had to crawl through a tunnel to get to the slide and I had a dress on. There was a lady there who thought it was her child stuck in the slide, but then she found her son and I knew it was Walker. A complete stranger offered to crawl through the tunnel for me, and as he crawled through Shannon had coaxed Walker down the slide. Needless to say Walker then wanted to slide ten thousand more times and loved every second of it.
On Sunday, Will & Shannon went exploring Mammoth Cave. Walker and I headed to BG for a little shopping while they took the 2 hour tour.

Thanks for the diaper rash help. Your boys are adorable! I love both of their names - they are on my short list if we have another boy!
