Kings Island Haunt It is my shoulder weekend, which means I have an entire weekend without classwork. Friday night Ted and I went to Kings Island. We had the entire place to ourselves. It was a perfect day to go. Friday nights are usually slow, but couple that with the threat of rain that doesn’t …

Our third and final country concert. My wife took me to see Brooks and Dunn at Riverbend. This is the second time I have seen them in concert. Brooks and Dunn are one of my favorite groups and I love their music. It was a sold out show. We arrived later than usual so we …

Ted purchased a Bambu XD2 printer. He’s been saving up for the last six months and used his allowance and two birthdays worth of money. We matched the other half. This thing is awesome. There are a million different designs. It also has five different spools that can be loaded and a camera where you …

Our second country concert this year is Tim McGraw, who we were lucky to see at Riverbend. We arrived early enough to see the opening acts, but quickly something felt off. The crew was in no rush to set up the stage for McGraw after the last opener finished, and we were a little confused. …

Cincinnati Zoo I am rounding out my week of vacation, and although we did not go anywhere, and one son is away at camp, I did find a way to enjoy myself. Ben did not want to accompany me to the Cincinnati Zoo, so I decided to go by myself. I have never been to …

Florence Y’Alls We attended a local Pioneer League baseball game. My son’s baseball team was enjoying a special treat for ending their season. They were invited to run down on the field with the players. I do like attending games here, although we rarely go. They are very affordable and family friendly. Unfortunately a strong …
