Cincinnati Again

 Our friends, the Despains, invited us to go to Cincinnati last weekend with them to EnterTRAINment Junction.  Since there was a Reds game Friday night, we decided to make a weekend out of it and find a hotel room on hotwire.com.  We headed out as soon as Ben was done with his test and the kiddos were up from their naps.
Here's E and his friend William.  E refers to him as "my best friend William".

I exist! (Thanks Aunt Nat for the cute princess hoodie!)

This was before Emerson toppled under the railing and fell down the stadium stairs...(don't worry, he was ok)
 Our fam at the game.  The first one we went to was SUPER hot and humid, and Sammi was only 3 weeks old.  WHAT WERE WE THINKING!?  I guess I just really needed to get out?  Well anyway, the weather was perfect this time.

Staying in a hotel is so much fun!  Even if Dad is supposed to be watching the baby and she falls off the bed when the hotel worker knocks on the door to bring the crib and Mom is in the bathroom...

The best part about hotel-staying is swimumum in the pool.  Especially if you have a Thomas swimsuit.

Or just a hot bod to show off in your tankini. (I love to squish those thighs!)

Here was the whole reason for the trip!  EnterTRAINment Junction.  It was awesome again, and the little boys loved it.  I would recommend it even if you or your kids aren't crazy about trains.  It's pretty amazing.  After we were all trained-out, we had lunch and browsed through the Thomas train store.

(Notice E trying to watch the wheels)


The kids had some good naps in the car all the way home after such a fun trip.  Thanks for inviting us!

That looks like so much fun! I love seeing E wrap his arms around little Sammi. It's so adorable. And how cute is Sammi's tankini?!

Melinda, thanks for the b-day gift for Kennedy. She's carried her little "suitcase" with lipgloss around all day. It was a hit!

I am always amazed at the fun things you guys find to do! I am in agreement, there is nothing better than staying in a motel! What lucky children to have a Thomas swim suit and a tankini and look so cute! I am glad E and his best friend William had such a great "train time"!
