Freezer Cooking

With school starting up, I decided to try some breakfast freezer cooking. Coach usually ends up eating up what he has packed for lunch at breakfast time so I thought I would make up some meals he could grab on the way out the door. I also wanted to have something easy for the kids on days monkey has school. I have frozen three different recipes and still have one or two more to try. These meals have been frozen but not eaten so I have no idea how they taste!!

Smoothies

Aquarium

We went to the Newport Aquarium yesterday for the first time! We have always wanted to go but for $60 for all of us, we decided to wait until or friend could get us free tickets! We had a great time and it was so cool. Monkey was soo excited to pet the sharks - that was all he talked about! But when we got to that area, he wanted nothing to do with them! The sharks were monkeys favorite, coaches were the penguins and mine were jellyfish. Sweet girl liked it all!

 

 

 

 

Bengals Training Camp

We didn't realize until we got home that we never took pictures of ourselves at camp - only the players! And what we will do with those pictures, I have no idea. Training camp was ok. Boiling hot and pretty boring - not at all like when we watched it on TV last year. Monkey was ready to go home within five minutes of arriving. He did get a lot of signatures sitting on coach's shoulders so all was not lost!

 

 

Duck Tour!

For at least a year, I have been wanting to go on the duck tour in Cincy/Newport. You never take a tour of your own city so I thought it would be fun! Today, we finally went. It was a ton of fun but I would have liked to know a little more history of the city. Monkey did not like the entry into the water! We were those parents and took our own life jackets on.. you never know!! Next up, canoeing:)

Our Summer Fun List

Mason 1K

Saturday, monkey ran in his first 1K - he did the flying pig when he was a baby and stopped halfway through to wave to the crowd! After being tripped at the beginning of this race and wanting to quit, he did a great job and finished strong!! He thought it was cool to get a medal! It was a fun time. And FYI - the shirt he is wearing was one coach had left over and was giant and I hemmed it to fit monkey:)
