we took a horse drawn canal boat ride in Metamora |
going through the aqueduct |
with horses in the background |
you can see the horses to the left pulling the boat |
horses in the background, very pretty area |
then we went gem mining! |
we felt like real miners :) |
Miles waiting patiently for us to finish up the mining! |
we got ice cream at this cute little shop that had thousands of cookie jars! |
Sydney caught the moon! |
ended our first day with a cozy fire! |
Sydney was our photographer for this one :) |
then we went to the Cincinnati Children's museum |
Sydney worked at a pretend Kroger (our fave store! :) |
Syd and Miles shopping |
Sydney got gas for her car :) |
making dinner |
driving the bus |
Sydney's favorite section was the pretend pet hospital where she got to be a vet! |
Miles hanging out in the pet bed area :) |
Miles the vet |
Miles LOVED the sand box in the toddler section |
this car moved and I think it frightened him a bit |
we also went to the dinosaur exhibit |
we also went to the museum of Natural History and Science |
Terminal built in the 30's. It's a really beautiful art deco building
then we went to the Newport Aquarium |
They had all kinds of awesome underwater tunnels |
Sydney touched a small shark!! |
our attempt at a family selfie :) |
you can see sharks behind us, agh! |
Miles was not so into picture time at this point :) |
giving the penguins a hug goodbye before we leave |
