We got to visit Oma and Opa in Cincinnati last week! Here a just a few of the highlights...

First off, Mike and I got to go to spend a day at King's Island (rollercoaster central)!! What a great date!! We'd last gone 6 years ago when we were just engaged. Sigh, how romantic. Oma, thanks for watching the kids!

We celebrated Oma's birthday and Opa made the most fabulous cake! White cake, sauturated with vanilla pudding, piled with fresh cherries, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. Top it all off with toasted coconut, pecans, and whipped cream... and some more strawberries. Oh glorious cake!

We also got to eat lots of "The Cone" ice cream. The Cone is a locally owned ice cream place that actually looks like an ice cream cone. Here's a picture from last year...

Isaac and Mike enjoying the stuff last week.

Isaac eating more ice cream. What ice cream shop is complete without a giant bear water fountain? Isaac had to warm up to it before he'd even get near it. Last, but definitely not least, my parents built the coolest thing in their backyard! It's an open air log cabin! Here it is in its incomplete, but still way fun stage... And it's final state. It is seriouly the coolest thing! There is a little built-in bench and a big built-in bench/table surface. You can see them cooking there. Don't you love the coon skin cap?And I couldn't leave these pictures out...

A priceless Isaac smile And seriously, who can resist hugging a giant taco?
Thanks for a great time, Oma and Opa!
