Just a bit of fun with Mike in Cincy!

Our good friend Mike flew in from Tulsa to go with us to Cincinnati for a fun few days! We started with a few days at Great Wolf Lodge and Kings Island.

 We spent the last two days near downtown Cincinnati and the Great American Ballpark home to the Reds. Our Cardinals were playing them in a series. We went Friday night and got to see the most amazing fireworks show we have ever seen. Every Friday night is Fireworks Friday and it was amazing! The Ohio river is right behind the ballpark and it is really a sight to see.

 The view from our seats the second game.

 Sometimes I am able to catch a moment and it just warms my heart. No prompting here. Just brother and sister walking hand in hand inside the ballpark. Love them!

 Cincinnati was known for its steam riverboat manufacturing and thus the smokestacks with 14 bats for Pete Rose.

Abby renamed some of the Cardinals players the first night which was quite amusing:

Molina Ballerina

John Jay the Baptist

Pistol Pete Kozman

Adam Aladdin

& Carlie Beltran

 Abby says that Mike is her best friend. It was so cute to see Mike get lots of girl hugs and love this week from our two cuties.

 I am not sure why it is fun to take your picture in a giant toilet...but it is.

 The kids wanted to do this so bad at the Levee at Newport. It was so hard Carson told us. They looked like hampsters in a ball.

 Ride the Ducks in Newport was my favorite part. We got lots of great history.  A Super fun time for all and must we not forget the great quackers!!

 Claire won the prize which she named Momma's silly....not sure about that.
