The hazy, lazy days of summer......

Our summer has actually been anything but lazy. Daddy took a few days off work after the 4th of July and we spent some fun family time doing things around Cincinnati. The only drawback to that was the fact that it was nearly a million degrees outside. Obviously, I exaggerate, but temps were near 100 degrees every day that we had family fun outings planned. It's been a hot one this year!

We fit in a trip to the zoo, a visit to the Newport Aquarium, an outing to the Cincinnati Children's Museum, and a ride on the Lebanon Mason & Monroe Railroad -- while The Great Train Robbery was in progress!

A few weeks later, we headed to Coney Island for dad's company-sponsored family outing. That was another sizzler and we were all glad to get back into the air-conditioned comfort of home after a really fun day. There have been trips to the park and lazy swims in the backyard pool, too.

See for yourself all the fun the boys have been having:
