Road Trip Part 4: Put-in-Bay

The following day, we took a ferry to an island called Put in Bay. My friend Tiffany, who is originally from Ohio, had told me about it, and it ended up being our favorite day.



We rented a golf cart for the day and started cruising around, and found this little adventure center, where the boys could do mining, which is Finn's all time favorite activity wherever we go. He was so happy.













We took a short tour in an underground cave, and Finn was SO SCARED that the cave was going to fall on us. He hated every minute of it, and while the tour was only 15 minutes, he couldn't wait to get out of there.


They also had this labyrinth scavenger hunt, which was a lot of fun as well.


We went to the butterfly house as well, but it was pretty small compared to the one we have here in Arizona.

Obviously we couldn't pass up the local candy store, we actually went there twice on that day.

A perfect lunch outside, the weather was so perfect, I actually wore a sweatshirt most of the day.


Eating candy on the back of the golf cart, what more can you want?




We didn't really have any plans that day, just cruised around and stopped wherever we wanted, it was amazing.


How cute is this pink house?



I loved all the houses on the island, and obviously looked on zillow at the end of the night...haha!



The kids didn't believe me that this is not the ocean, but "only" a lake.




On the ferry ride home, they played a made up game of "Guess Who" with some of the souvenir animals that Finn bought on this island.

We were all so tired!
It was the very best day, and I was surprised that the boys also rated this day as their number one from the entire trip (compared to water park and amusement park fun). 
Tiffany always gives me the best recommendations and trip itineraries. Our trip to Colorado last year was another recommendation from her, and I was joking with the kids, that we'll have to see where Tiffany goes this summer, so we can copy the trip next year!
More to come!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...
