October 2008 Trip to Cincinnati

The Colorado Smith Family was finally able to make it to Cincinnati for a visit with the family in October. For many "back home" it was their first time meeting Henry (or for that matter Sam who was only six months old during his last visit) who is now over two years old. It was a great trip. The kids were relatively behaved on the flights to and from. The weather was mostly great with just a little rain. And the family activities were many and the kids loved all the attention.


Henry draws pictures at grandma Sally's crib



One of the high points of the visit was documenting Henry's first taste of Skyline Chili. He loved it!



A family expedition to Max and Erma's for dinner. They still have all that stuff on the walls.



Uncle Dan and Aunt Sherry relax at Grandma Judy's



A quick visit to Aunt Heidi and Uncle Damon's to see their new edition, Charlotte Tucker

Sammy gets ready to zoom head first down a slide during a much needed visit to a nearby park



Hank rips down the slide in his typical reckless manner



Sam peaks over the park play equipment. Both boys loved the time outdoors and needed some time to "play" after sitting in so many restaurants with the family



We could not get Hank off this slide. He loved it. He zips down here head first.



Not to be outdone by Hank, Sammy heads down head first as well



This image sums up the trip. The kids had such a great time with all the family attention and activities that on this night, Hank gave up on waiting to go to bed and just crashed on the sofa while watching TV.
