Cleveland Adventure

We went to Cleveland to visit the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and the Cleveland Children's Museum this week with Jack, Tracy, and Christian Ondo. My face still hurts from all of the laughing we did! The zoo was fantastic, the kids had a great time and Nathan especially enjoyed the Dinosaur exhibit they have, he is just crazy for dinosaurs. He kept saying he felt like he was in Jurassic Park, he never stopped smiling. We stayed overnight and went to the Children's Museum the next day, although the kids had fun, the Pittsburgh Children's Museum is much better. We also got to watch the first pre-season Steelers game at the hotel...way to win Black n' Gold! We ended our get-a-way with swimming, pizza and games at the Ondo's house when we got home. It was a great few days away with our friends and the kids. We are going to be trying to squeeze in a few more outing before summer is over, I can't believe the kids go back to school in just 2 weeks! I guess it's true, "Time flies when you're having fun". Here's are some pictures from our Cleveland adventure...Kadence is always making new friendsMommy's little shopper, this was her favorite part
Nathan dressed like an astronaut
Some horseplay at the hotel
We saw LIONS,
AND TIGERS, AND BEARS...OH MY! We could actually stand about 2 feet from this leopard, very intimidating!
Just monkeying around
Not the greatest smelling animal
Kadence has a little crush on Christian
Go Eagles!
On the hunt for butterflies
Under attack! All of the dinosaurs moved and made noise, some even spit water at you
A dinosaur egg was found...uh oh. Jurassic Park 4 perhaps?
They were enormous!
It's all about the company you keep
It was a great time, and a little exhausting for some of us
