The Ballard Boys met up the Kostura Boys in Cincinnati this weekend for a little time at the Zoo and Aquairum. It was so fabulous to see old friends, it's been too long! The boys had an awesome time after the initial shyness. William loved Jackson and followed everything thing he did the entire weekend, including ordering a hot dog at dinner because that is what Jackson was having. We hope to get the boys together more often! Here are the pics from the weekend...
William enjoying the Cincinnati Reds baseball game from our window! They shot up fireworks for every home run!
The boys relaxing after the trip and watching a movie while they waited patiently for Jackson and Garrett to arrive...
First we went to the Cincinnati Zoo, which was Fabulous and HUGE! They had Everything! William's favorite was the elephants because that was Jackson's favorite! It was so nice and cool that all the animals were up and playing about. William, Jackson, and Jason enjoying the elephants...
We went to Newport on the Levee after the zoo to walk around and get some dinner. Unfortunately it didn't turn out very nice for the Ballards...
This is William's "We are going to be stuck here FOREVER!!!" pose while we waited for the tow truck, in the rain, to break into the Car because I locked the keys in the car after feeding James...
After we slept off the awful ending to night number one, we tried again and took the boys to the Aquarium. As you all know, William LOVES fish so he was so much more excited for the Aquarium. He ran his Daddy all over that place going "WHOAH, Look at that Daddy" and "Oh My Goodness!"
This is William showing Daddy that the fish is "Biggest of All"
Jackson, William, and Daddy in the "Touch Tank" full of sharks! Yes you heard that right! Thank goodness Jackson and William were smart enough not to stick their hands in. I can't say that for Jason and Bryan, who had to go to dinner with wet sleeves because they couldn't help themselves...
After the Aquarium, we all went to lunch at the Hofbrahaus restaurant. Which was a german beer house. Jason and Bryan talked about it all weekend and after we finally got there they said it was even better than they imagined!
Here is Bryan with his Liter of Prince Ludwigs! Yes, I said Liter! And look how happy he was when they told him he gets to keep his mug!
Thanks so much to the Kosturas for meeting up with us! We had the best time! I promise Garrett was there also, I don't know how I didn't get any pics of him! Sorry Garrett, you've got the cutest dimples I have ever seen! We can't wait to get together again!!
