Chugging Down the Ohio River

With temperatures getting into the 100s its paramount to think of cool ways to enjoy our surroundings. We did just that with our trip down the Ohio River today aboard the Valley Gem. While top deck did supply a great view below deck was cool enough to have Alex asking if I brought him a blanket. We loved it! Aunt Mary Lew got Alex a great captain's hat, really he is just tooo cute.  We have had a great time in Ohio. Mary Lew is Alex's new favorite toy. He had to do everything with her: sit with her, hold her hand, play games with her. We are sooo glad that we got this time together.

We are up visiting Mary Lew in Ohio for the weekend. One of the things Alex was super excited about was getting to ride Babe again. He enjoyed not only the riding part, but also taking care of the horse: brushing her and picking her hooves out. He did a great job riding on her, went around 5 times!
