The first step to a good trip is good preparation. 12 of these 14 bags were packed by Dani (with less complaining about disliking packing than Jared did while packing his 2 bags!). Step 2 is the loading puzzle, which Jared loves and thrives at!
Sunday was a nice day for some nice pictures out by the monument.
The cousins spend lots of time playing PacMan and Galaga trying to beat each other's records.
We spent one day at Kings Island. Jacob and the big cousins were thrilled to be able to ride the big rides, like the Beast!
The younger cousins spent their day in Snoopy Land, riding all the rides there.
It was a perfect day for all
topped off by KI's famous "blue ice cream."
One day, Nana brought out tons of bubbles for everyoen to play with
and there were bubbles EVERYWHERE!
Any time not spent at the pool was spent building train tracks, legos, or having battles in Nana's playroom.
Jared has been dying to try Tom & Chee, which was featured on Shark Tank a few years ago, so he could try one of their famous donut grilled cheese sandwiches. Their other grilled cheese sandwiches were quite good, and we shared a couple donut ones as a "dessert grilled cheese" (who knew there was such a thing?).
As with most summer trips to Nana's, most of the time is spent in the pool. This year, we gave Nana a new pool toy for her birthday - the Inflate-a-Bull! It was a challenge to get on, and provided lots of funny games!
We celebrated the 4th of July with sparklers in the backyard.
We celebrated Kate and Liam's birthday poolside with cake, ice cream, and presents.
Clayton had a trampoline mishap - he jumped off but landed a little funny on his arm. Jared and Taylor
diagnosed it as a dislocated elbow, and after some YouTube consultation, they put it back in place by Taylor pulling Clayton's wrist while Jared held Clayton's arm.
Kate couldn't wait for us to get home to put together her Beauty and the Beast castle!
After a fun 10 days, we loaded up to head home. We take up 2 half rows plus 1 seat.
