Lauren is up with Grandma in Cincinnati, and today they went to a butterfly exhibit. Here are some pictures Grandma took of Lauren with the butterflies. You can tell she is really missing her Mom and Dad:

Cincinnati Zoo 

The Cincinnati Zoo has a few more animals and a lot more people than our zoo. The kids had a lot of fun while they lasted, but were soon pooped out.

Lauren's Fifth Birthday 

Her birthday is not until tomorrow, but since we'll be heading to Cincinnati to see Grandma, we decided to let her open two of her presents tonight. She was pretty surprised (and happy):

Renaissance Festival 

We went to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival today. It's way cool if you're 4, 3 or 3. I think a lot of the peasants with swords wear the same outfits at the movie theater at night, they just swap out the weapon for a lightsaber -- instant Jedi knight. Anyway, the kids had fun (especially in the over-priced jumpy thing) and the weather was nice.

Last Soccer Game of the Season 

Lauren had her last game of the season today. Unfortunately, it rained part-way through the game, so they couldn't finish it. I'm sure she would have won. Here are a few pictures.
