Road Trip to Cincinnati

We took a road trip to visit Aunt Coco and Uncle Daniel in Cincinnati this past weekend and had an awesome time!  We are so glad to know that if they have to be so far away, that they are surrounded by great neighbors and are doing so well.  We left on Thursday afternoon and made it all the way to Horse Cave, KY before we stopped to get some sleep in a hotel.  The kids were WIDE awake and they did not seem to be interested in sleeping in the car anytime soon, so we decided to stop and rest up for our weekend.  We arrived at the Cox household around lunch on Friday and the fun began.  We caught a Reds game Friday night, had a block party on Saturday and played in the slip n slide on Sunday.  We were sad to leave on Monday morning, but we knew that it would be a long drive so we hit the road early and were back in Birmingham by dinner.  It was a fabulous trip and we can't wait to visit again.  Here are a few pictures from the trip:

Emerson and Caroline - our sweet girls!

 And here are the rowdy boys watching Shrek in 3D in Daniel's movie room.  It was pretty sweet.

 The happy siblings reunited.

 My sweet Em trying so hard to join in the outdoor fun, but not quite ready to stand and walk

 There was LOTS of bike riding this weekend.  Check out these two riding machines!

 Clayton was intense on his bike.

 Time for the slip n slide!!

I took these last two while the kids played tonight after dinner.  Griffin was one sweaty little boy.

While in Cincinnati Emerson decided that the time was right to stand up and walk.  Today she was all over the place.  I think that she is really getting a hang of it.  Mom and Dad are so proud of you, baby girl!!
