A trip to the aquarium, which was a BIG hit.
And a trip to a questionable petting zoo.
See just how questionable? Check out this stellar sign. And don't even get me started on the Zonkey.
It was an exhausting trip, though I think Boo had a good time. We stayed in a log cabin, searched unsuccessfully for black bears, hiked to a waterfall, had M&M pancakes, and of course the aforementioned aquarium and petting zoo. But four days was clearly the kiddo's limit, and she was a pill on the return flights. As in running madly about the airport until we forced her into her stroller, where she arched her back and planted her feet on the ground, effectively putting the brakes on. If you saw an exhausted mom putting her kid in "time out" in the middle of the Cincinnati airport last week, it was probably me.
It was with great relief that we returned to our hometown airport. As I was getting the bags, I called my mom to let her know of our safe return. I handed the phone to Boo so she could talk to her grandma as I struggled with a bag, and this is the conversation I overheard:
"BaBa? We've got a problem. I got in a fight with Mom and Dad."
This child never ceases to amaze, frustrate, and amuse me. And if she sounds like this at 2, what in the world will 16 hold?!

Looks like a lot of fun, although I can see how four days would be difficult. M & M pancakes--I think those deserve a go, actually.
M&M pancakes with *peanut butter syrup.* It was some seriously good stuff, I have to admit. Not healthy, but good!
