Last week we took a mini-vacation to the Newport Aquarium in Cincinnati, the Fort Wayne Zoo, and Fisherman's Cove. We had a great 4 days. On Saturday we drove to Cincinnati to the aquarium. We all really enjoyed it. In the underwater tunnels Scott and I just pretended we were on a dive vacation! Alli even enjoyed all of the activity and as you can see by the time we left, she was pooped!
We left Cincinnati and drove straight to North Webster. The kids did GREAT in the car! We made the entire 4 hour drive with only one stop for dinner. Alli was exhausted so she slept most of the way, and Ethan was entertained by his DVD player. We bought the DVD player last year and I have to say, it was woth every penny! It is wonderful for keeping Ethan happy in the car. As you can see, he also insists on holding all of his books, trains, juice cup, cookie, etc at once in the car. And yes, he held all of that for the entire 4 hours! And yes, he did frequently drop things and insist I pick them up!
While in Webster we went out on the boat and Ethan took his first dip in the lake. Scott put on a lift jacket and float cushion and jumped in first.... Once in the water, Ethan was not too thrilled with the experience. He loves the pool, but likes to be able to touch bottom. Hopefully in a year or two he will enjoy the lake a little more.
The experience did not traumatize him...once was out of the lake he was very happy to watch Daddy and Aunt Kristy in the water!

That was a HUGE step for Ethan to want to even try to go in the lake. Maybe we should have started him at the beach! Aunt Kristy is still really proud of him.
