Indian Summer
Well, I guess we had our Indian summer. It was Monday. I was hoping for something a little bit more substantial than a single day, but we took advantage of it while it lasted. We started the day with breakfast at our favorite pancake place, then spent the afternoon at a park in Cincinnati down by the Ohio River.
Let me just say here - the parks in Cincinnati are great. We've been to several and they are the best. It makes me feel for the people in Cincinnati who pay the taxes to build the great parks we visit, but...we did spring for a parking pass for a few bucks, so I guess we pitched in a little too!
Of course we had fun playing on the playgrounds. We laughed a lot, and the warm sun felt wonderful. The leaves were still mostly on the trees, and they were beautiful. We enjoyed watching the barges on the river. And I fully intend to count it as a day of school. Here's why:
This is a statue of the Roman hero, Cincinnatus, whom we had just read about in school a few weeks ago. Cool.

Cool! Which park did you go to? We need to explore some new ones one of these days.
We went to Sawyer Point park, which is downtown, first. That is where the statue is. We also went to Eden Park (not quite as much fun for the kids, but I like the arboretum - and the views are fantastic), and the park in Sharonville, which is our kids' favorite. They like to play at the indoor playground. They charge you to play there, but we only go a couple of times a year. Their outside stuff is great too.
Sounds like you a great time. We had a fun day yesterday at Marmon Valley Farm for Children's Adoption Dad. The girls both rode horses. I enjoyed the chili cook off, watching the girls, walking, and visiting with other adoptive parents, as well as some of our old friends from Children's Services.
