New Zeeum Day!

Today we went to the "new zeeum" as Lou insists that it is called. We got a pass to the Cincinnati Museum Center last year and it was the best thing we ever did. Rain or shine, the kids have a blast at the Children's Museum, the sandbox and dinosaurs at the History Museum, and the trains at the Cincinnati Museum.

We were lucky enough to spend today with my friend Amanda and her boys. Owen was born just a few months after Lou, and Eli was born a few months before Charlie. As you'll see below, the boys have a great time whenever we get together!

Eli & Charlie getting to know each other.

After reading "Curious George at the Fire Station" last night, the boys were all revved up to be firefighters and recruited Owen to join the team. Amanda and I thought it was pretty funny.

Ben the Tortoise (Does anyone know the difference between a turtle and a tortoise? Is there one?)

Lou, a big ol' pearl in a clam shell.

Owen, Ben & Lou pet the snake. I'm not going to lie. I had to restrain myself from saying that they couldn't do it. I am not a fan of snakes.
