And some movies...in no particular order

Hotel Pool.  I think James felt the need to keep his eyebrows raised as a way to stay out of the water.  Love his little face!



James petting bunnies at the Critter Barn.  He was timid at first and then kept saying "They're cute!"





And Claire with bunnies



Ethan playing



James and Ethan loved watching the otters in Dayton



They all loved playing DJ and chasing lights

Dayton

Instead of having a birthday party for Claire this year, we decided to have a family day in Dayton, OH, on our way home.  When we arrived in Dayton, we visited the Wegerzyn Gardens.  It turned out to be a fun place to explore, despite the fact that little to nothing was blooming.  We spent the night in a hotel and visited the Boonshoft Children's Museum the following day.  Matt and I were very impressed with the museum and the kids had a blast.  We managed to stay from 9:00 until 3:00 (a very long stretch for us) and then finished our drive home, arriving around 2 am Friday morning.
