Cincinnati

My uncle Tim lives mostly in India right now and recently he was home (in Cincinnati) so he decided it would be a good idea to invite the WHOLE family (my dad's side) to his house! Some of us stayed at his new condo and some of us stayed in hotels but everyone but 2 from the family were there! I think Tim was rethinking his great idea after we were all there:) But it was so great to see everyone - for me anyway! I miss seeing everyone and was so happy for the time we had together.

Although, everyone was there I only got pictures of the kids pretty much:)




Here they are all lined up at Uncle Tim's bar in the kitchen eating - bet this is the first time a line of kids has sat here to eat! You should have SEEN the floor after these guys ate here (especially Jake!). I made sure to clean the floor after them because I'm sure Uncle Tim wasn't used to "kid" messes:)

Here's some pictures of Grammy with her angels and her bum arm! And then some pictures of the boys!




















We went to the Cincinnati Zoo one day and the kids had a great time! Evan, Rachel and Jillian are sitting on a crocidile statue! Jakey was sleeping!

Rachel really liked the gorillas - here she's standing by a statue and the other ones shows her with the Silverback in the background!














Here Jakey is helping mommy feed the Lorikeets!

My favorite part of the trip was being able to see everyone...especially my cousin Brian because we totally crack each other up:) It makes me feel good that someone else thinks I'm funny! HeeHee! I missed seeing Joey and Matt - too bad they couldn't make it, I thought of them often. I did have an old fashioned in honor of Joey though:) Oh and that reminds me...we ran out of whiskey at least once! We Wisconsinites DO love our old fashioneds!

I miss you all and can't wait to see you all again! Love, Mindy
