Summer Adventures...

So far we have had an amazing summer! And today is just the first (official) day! Oh and by the way... Happy Father's Day!

Between finals (no more class work! yea!!!) and the beginning of 4th year rotations we decided to go on a few adventures... and a few misadventures to go right in the mix...

To begin with, our air conditioning, dvd player, and tv all stopped working on the same day! So we called the air guy and a silly spider crept in the transitor and died (a quite inconvenient location...) I guess I didn't feel as hot as he did. The audio in our tv had suddenly gone out after Ethan had been messing with the buttons and remotes... a few days later we pushed the mute button on the unused remote to the converter box... and viola! we had our tv again... the only sad ending is our dvd player ( that we bought for 15 cents at a garage sale.. you get what you pay for i guess) went all the way of the earth... it does not and will not ever work again... oh well.

This is Ethan making to most out of our lack of cool air...



That weekend we took a fun little trip to the Dayton Air Museum, Mammoth Cave in Kentucky, Lincoln's birthplace, and the Louisville Slugger Museum...

Rotunda room of Mammoth Cave. We took the baby tour, but there are other tours that are more in depth... he he he...that you can really get down and dirty... It would be really cool to go on one of those tours... when I'm not pregnant and toting a two year old...



Our tent after the almost tornado... when we returned to our campsite after the cave the wind and rain picked up and we heard tornado sirens in the distance... so we took refuge in a nearby McDonald's. After waiting it out for nearly two hours this is what we found... so we stayed in a hotel that looked like it was taken right out of a scary movie... yikes! We survived to take a beautiful walk in the morning... near the mouth of Mammoth Cave.



On our way up to Louisville we took a little detour to Lincoln's birthplace...




Log cabin? I don't think so! So secretly, inside this shrine there's a log cabin that was built around the time of Lincoln's birth... I would show you the picture... but baby, I'm so chunky! (see Madagascar 2)



Now that's passion... I wish he would kiss me like that!



Ken Griffey who? Steeerike!



Monster Bat!



After returning home from all that fun Ethan helped James take apart his crib. He loves his big boy bed!!
