On August 15-17th Curt and I went on a family vacation with the Gillespie side to Cincinnati. We had a lot of fun and are finally showing some pictures. I know its been awhile since I posted some pictures, but I've been kinda busy. We had to wake up pretty early to be in Indy by 11 our time.
The bright side to waking up early was the pretty sunrise with fog.
Ready to head to Cincinnati!
When we first got to Cincinnati we headed to the aquarium.
I thought this jellyfish looked awesome in pictures.
Checking out some sharks.
Curt and I roomed with Kevin, Bonnie, Jasper, and Carter so we got some nephew time in. :)
Carter obviously likes playing with our faces.
The next day we visited the Creation Museum. It was a very interesting museum to see. I recommend it.
Jasper really likes coffee. I think he gets that from Bonnie.
Family picture in the garden. This garden is part of the creation museum as well. They even had a petting zoo!
Matt pretending he is 12 years or younger. If you go to the Creation Museum I don't recommend doing this. A security guard may come talk to you about it.
Curt was in charge of watching Carter while everyone else was getting ready. I think he did a good job. By the end of the trip Carter preferred Curt over me!
He is just so cute.
The last day we were there we went to the zoo. I was actually pretty impressed with this zoo. It was a fun day for everyone.
They don't have many cages. Most exhibits had glass so you could actually look at the animals without the bars from the cages.
Jasper enjoyed looking at all the animals.
Goofing around in the petting zoo area.
Group shot!
I got to feed a giraffe. This was so much fun! The thing that surprised me was their tongues are like cat tongues. They have that rough, kind of like sandpaper feeling.
I also feed a bird. I also fed goats while we were there. I'm up for feeding any animal as long as it won't bite me. :D
Of course I had to get a picture of my favorite animals.
Overall we had a lot of fun seeing different sites in and around Cincinnati. It was fun to hang out with my family and nephews. I'm glad we take these vacations every year or so.
yeah! i kept checking to see if you've posted about the trip! i enjoyed your commentary :) thanks for being the photographer! it sure helps not having to worry about that while trying to corral two kids!
