cousin camp

Mae's summer day care program ended in July, 2.5 weeks before school started. We filled one week of the gap with our vacation to New York, one week with gymnastics camp, and still had a half a week to figure out! So, Mae and Colin spent a few days at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

Mae especially liked going to the Children's Museum. They spent a lot of time in the Scooby Doo exhibit. Mae knew all about Scooby Doo from watching old episodes with Uncle Tim during our visit to the beach last year.

Everyone enjoyed the trip to the zoo. I heard a lot about lions from Colin afterwards! I'm not sure what he liked more though, the lion or the popsicle.

And they had a play date/tea party at Ollie and Archie's house, complete with cookies and popcorn. Colin was dressed very appropriately.

Mae and Colin had a fun time with all the activities, but both kids said their favorite part was spending time with their cousins (or maybe just with their cousins' toys.) Colin was repeating "I wanna go Ollie Archie house" for at least two weeks after he got home!

Dan and I enjoyed having a couple days to ourselves. We went to a Reds game and had a dinner (and brunch!) dates. I don't think we cooked the entire time the kids were gone!
