So the last two days of our vacation where not as crazy as the first two but they sure did have their moments!
On Friday we got up early and headed to Cincinnati Premium Outlets! Once again Brynn did not do well in the car and I figured out part of the cause for that....her dvd player had stopped working....next on the list...find a new dvd player lol!
We get to the outlet mall and rent a stroller...wouldn't ya figure that the stroller we got didnt have buckles to buckle either of them in??....so Chad decided instead of going back in and getting a different stroller that we would just use that one...BIG MISTAKE!!! The kids did not want to sit in the stroller and when they found out that they werent strapped in all hell broke loose lol! Needless to say we werent at the mall long! We also made the mistake of taking the kids into the Disney Store! I love this store, and so did the kids, which would have been fine but since they got out of their strollers they were running around the store like crazy!! $100 later and a couple of broken items and we were on our way!
After the mall, we headed home for naps! After naps we decided to go back up to the Aquarium, it was earlier but not by much! We left my mom's house at 2:30 pm...apparently Friday in Cincinnati is everyone get off early day, so that meant more traffic :( ugh seriously, thank god I live in Iowa, I dont think I could handle anymore traffic! We get to the Aquarium at like 3:30 or so (suppose to be 35 min drive) and head into the Aquarium. The kids had so much fun! Cole was running around crazy screaming "look it mom, look it"...it was so cute! It actually made the drive worth it in the end!! :) We got through the entire aquarium in 50 MINUTES!! If you are wondering why this is in all caps, read my previous post!! grrr...the lady the night before told us that it would take 2 hrs to get through the entire Aquarium, hence being the reaon we didnt go the night before because we got there at 6 and they closed at 7...but it only took 50 MINUTES, meaning we could have actually gone the night before!!! Just another crazy to add to the list lol! o well! the kids had fun!
That night we met up with my grandparents for dinner at a Mexican place and the kids were crazy so we didnt end up staying long! Brynna didnt want to sit in her high chair, the kids didnt get their food until like 15 minutes after everyone else had their food (which was already 30 mins after we ordered), Cole was done eating after I had like 2 bites (while holding Brynn on my lap), Cole ended up sneaking off somehow and we find him by the FRONT DOOR! Seriously it was nuts!!
Saturday was a lot better!! We spent some time at my grandma's house and then just chilled at my moms! That night we headed out for some ADULT TIME with some of my fam while my mom watched the kids....trust me it was much needed!
All in all, we had a good time, but a crazy time! I guess they say life's not worth living unless its crazy! Well that was def true for this vacation :)
