Fun with the Faulkners

This weekend was a special one...the Faulkner family of 4 came to Cincinnati to visit us...and catch a Reds v. Cards baseball game. It was just a perfect weekend. The weather was perfect, we got to be very active with the kids, and we got to have some much-needed adult time as well. We kept very busy making trips to the pool, taking the Faulkner's for famous Cincinnati chili, playing outside, running through the sprinklers, taking walks, going to the baseball game, cooking out and playing with lots and lots of toys! The adults even got to see 6 innings of the baseball game, and the guys golfed 9 holes while us gals chatted away and sat outside for a full hour and a half just the two of us catching up and remembering old times! It was wonderful to have them here and we certainly appreciated that they would travel almost 6 hours to see us with 2 kids and a dog in the car! Now that Ty is older, he can really appreciate seeing his St. Louis "cousins" and had a great time following them around and doing more playing than he's done all summer long! What a great weekend,..to say the least! We are really looking forward to making these trips more of a tradition...and it will be our turn to travel to St. Louis next. It's really amazing to think back to the early days with Lisa and how things have changed since the days of high school...now we have kids...my how life changes...wasn't it just last year we were headed to the Palindrome to go dancing?! I have many many (understatement) adorable pix of the kiddos hanging out together...so brace yourself...and enjoy!
