YS - Cincinnati

Last weekend we had our first post-Elise trip to Yellow Springs and even hopped down to Cincinnati to visit the Peirsons and celebrate Julian's 1st Birthday. It was a great trip - both girls were fabulous with all the driving and had fun seeing everyone.

On the way down we got stuck in a horrible traffic jam, turning the normally 3-hour drive into 5-hours. N & E were so good, so we stopped at the Corner Cone (I still call it the Tastee Freeze) when we got into town to get celebratory cones and slushies. Good stuff.


Nora had to get in a quick work out to burn off all that ice cream (you can see some of the left overs on her shirt)...



The next morning, Nora and Mimi treated us to a little duet...



We then headed down to Cincinnati, where Elise got to get some cuddles with Aunt Hilary...


And, meeting Miss Sylvie!

We get to borrow the Bumbo for a bit! Elise loves it...


Funny girls...


Then, on to Julian's party. Here, Caroline mans the gift station and Nora sits next to her new big girl friend...that girl sure does love "big girls" (anyone over the age of 4 will do)...


Chatty Cathy...



Birthday boy!


And, back in YS, me and Elise heading up for bed...
