After my awesome dissertation defense, we went to Cincinnati for a wonderful camping trip. We visited Julie and Randy who we haven't seen in 3 years! In planning the trip, we came up with a huge list of things we could do in Cincinnati: zoo, aquarium, red's game, children's museum, etc, etc.... But we decided to go to a grocery store. It's not just any grocery store. We went to Jungle Jim's. This is a fabulous grocery store! Jungle Jim's has cheese from all over the world. We sampled and bought lots of cheese. They have hard to find items and candy bars from England we haven't seen for 5 years. We did miss my favorite candy bar: starbar. It was in England and so wonderful but Jungle Jim's didn't have it. We got a dragon fruit (pictured). It's a cross between a kiwi and a pear - pretty yummy.
Besides grocery shopping, Julie and Randy made a great meal for us: steak, corn on the cob, coleslaw, homemade mac and cheese, pineapple gooey cake, chocolate trifle, cantalope, veggies and dip - yummy! Jenna and Nicholas had a great time jumping in their bouncy house and riding on their riding gator. Nicholas was adept at driving, but Jenna needs some driver's ed. Here's a video of them jumping in the jumpy house. Randy tried to force me in the jumpy house but I got in after which I was pelted with lots of soccer balls.

I love Sarah in the background of the video, she is a riot. Poor Jenna she was exhausted

We had such a great time seeing all of you. Nicholas keeps asking where "the girls" live and when they can come play again. Guess he liked them as much as we did!! They are so precious!!! Julie
