Spring Break: Part 1 - Cincinnati

We took off right after school got out on Friday to Cincinnati to see the family!
She was ready to go!
So was he!  We were able to talk Dave in to joining us for the weekend too, which made the trip even better!
Of course, with Dave the first stop after the plane lands is Skyline!  The kids are big fans too.
Saturday was a beautiful day and we ended up just hanging around for most of it.  I intended for us to be able to visit around on Saturday but it just turned out to be more of a family weekend.  So if you are a friend in Cincinnati reading this and wonder why you never saw us, don't be offended :)

There was ice cream eating.
And Easter egg hunting.




Grandpa looks less than thrilled to see his money being passed out in eggs! Ha!
Taylor passed by the money for the chocolate!  That's my girl!
I must stop here for a disclaimer:  this first part of the trip is way better documented mostly because I stole half of these pictures from Megan!  This was out for dinner at the Mexican restaurant - if you couldn't guess that.
The ladies.
Sunday we went to the Reds game.
Chase loves Carl.
And Skyline. Yes, again.
Like I said, these events were well documented.
Taylorbug and her daddypoo.
Chase loved every minute of the game.  It looks like he is drinking an adult coca-cola but I promise that is the guy next to him!





After the game it was off to celebrate Grandma Hoeh's 16th birthday.  She is counting down from 100 now!
Typical Taylor.
Finally ready to take the picture on her own terms.  Here's where Dave had to leave us and head back home to work.  Someone's got to do it and I'm glad it's him :)
Monday we spent some time visiting Mr. & Mrs. Shoemaker at their retirement community. The kids loved the library part of the tour.  And I only have one picture because Megan wasn't there!

We went back to visit Grandma Hoeh and see her dogs!
And then it snowed?!?!
We went down to Florence to continue our visits and mad e a trip to Frisch's for lunch.  They were having a coloring contest so Chase joined right in!
We played at the mall for a while.  "The Queen" was a fitting title this day.
I could see this happening in real life too!
The double-decker merry-go-round.  Of course one picked the top and one picked the bottom!
Riding the dragon!
Someone finally passed out for a nap.  Praise.the.Lord.  It was much needed!
Playing games with Jacob and Ben!
And more games with Grandma & Grandpa Edwards.
Then it was time to head home!
Always on the phone!
The trip home we had 3 seats in a row but one was by itself.  The kids fought all morning about who got the single seat.  When it came time to board, Chase quickly backed out!  Thankfully Taylor was still excited about it.  That could have gotten ugly.
This guy always stays close by!
