Adventures in Cincinnati and Denver

Last week Olivia, Mom, and I got to go see Becky, Pat, Sophie, and Evan in Cincinnati. It was cheaper to fly into Louisville and since I had never been to Kentucky we decided to spend the day at the Louisville zoo. It was a lot of fun. I have taken Olivia to the zoo two other times, but she has never acted interested. This time she was totally into the animals- especially the fish, snakes, and gorillas. In addition to animals, the Louisville zoo also has a splash park, which Olivia loved. While in Cincinnati we went to the YMCA and swam until the rain and lightning shut down the pool :(, played in the park, got a free meal at Chik-fil-a, had a picnic, and ate ice cream at Graeters. Good times had by all...

My handsome nephew Evan.

Sophie at the Louisville Zoo.

It was so hot and humid that day.

Notice how red my face is- I think I was slowly melting :).

Each year Chik-fil-a has a day where they give a free meal if you dress up like a cow.

We couldn't turn down a free meal so here we are in our cow get ups.

Playing in the Park.

It was a quick trip and we headed home on Sunday night (or at least tried to). Our plane to Denver was delayed and we missed our transfer to Salt Lake by about 25 minutes. Thank heavens it was due to mechanical problems or we might have been spending the night at the Denver airport. The nice people at Frontier put us up at the Marriot (in a very nice room) for the night, gave us some meal vouchers, and $400 in flight vouchers and Monday morning we were on our way to Phoenix followed by Salt Lake. Definitely an adventure.
