cookout and cincy

Such a fun weekend for us! and the best is, the fun is continuing tonight!
Friday night we had a cook out with several of our friends. We decided to forgo the usual burgers and brats that we usually do, and make chicken and steak kabobs. I thought they were a success, due to the master griller, Philip:) For dessert we had the creme brulee cheesecake baked by my wonderful mom. it was absolutely delicious. not a crumb was left! well, actually yes there were. on the table. michelle:)
 We played outside and then came inside to play Apples to Apples, which is always an entertaining game. if you have never played, you should- it's a lot of fun.

After everyone left, Ryan and Kim hung back and we decided we wanted to do something fun the next day. We thought spending the day at the lake would be such a good time. However, due to our poor planning, all the boats were rented out for the day (go figure, the saturday of labor day weekend). So instead, we decided to venture to the Cincinnati Zoo and then have dinner at the Haufbraus House. We had so. much. fun. 
In between the zoo and dinner, we went to an arcade and played all kinds of games. and maybe we went back after dinner as well :) 
petting the nasty snake. I did not participate.
sleeping lions
can you see the baby monkey? he was adorable.
this one reminded me of Rosie, from Water for Elephants:)





We had such a good time, as usual, with these two. at the end of the day, we were all so tired....
Happy Labor Day Weekend!!!
