Cincinnati Trip

We needed to get away for just a weekend.  This is a mini vacation since we did not get to really go anywhere over the summer.  (Which would be because of all the house issues and getting that done.)  We went with a family in our ward at church.  It was so much fun!

We found a place called Jungle Jims.  I suggest anyone who goes to the north part of Cincy to go there.  It is a market that has food from all over the world.  We spent 2 hours there just looking at all the different things they have there.  Their selection of cheese was overwhelming, at least 3 isles full of it!  Then all around the main store are smaller shops, one of which is a pet store that has the cutest puppies.  One was an english mastif.  I totally want one!!

We also discovered IKEA.  That just happens to be one of my favorite stores!  It a bummer we do not live too close to one, but I guess that could be a good thing.  Not only do they have a huge selection on things, but good prices and even a place for food!  You could spend all day there! 

We also went to the Aquarium.  I love that place.  There are lots of turtles there.  Since it was close to Halloween, they had specials there like: Underwater sword fighting pirates, underwater pumpkin carvings,  and mini pumpkin decorating for the kids.  It was a blast!!!

Swimming in the hotel was so much fun! 
Stevie loved it.


You know me, trying to get him to swim!! 


These are the pictures from the aquarium

Love this huge puffer fish, they are my favorite fish!



Adalyn loved tyring to get the fish, she's getting so big

Always have to have a turtle picture!

Notice this crab is as big as Adalyn





They had pirates carving pumpkins underwater!  It was fun to watch. 
The big fish around would eat the pieces.



Stevie loved trying to touch the sharks.
