Vacation Pics...

As promised! :-)

Monday (6/11) we were lucky enough to tour the Esther Price Chocolate Factory.

Tuesday (6/12) - We spent a fun filled day at King's Island amusement park with cousins Amanda and Andrew. Here we are at the end of a long but thrill filled day!

Wednesday - we started off at the Cincinnati Zoo...

And ended the day at a Cincinnati Reds Baseball Game...

Thursday was R&R and meeting the rest of the Hensley family at happy hour at

the Embassy Suites to kick off Amanda and Gary's wedding festivities...

Friday Scott, Sterling and Stone went to the zoo with Uncle Chuck, Will & Jon while Sheila went to Amanda's bridal luncheon. That evening the cousins practiced at rehearsal and then we all enjoyed the rehearsal dinner...

Off on our adventure...

No pictures today (yet) but wanted to let everyone know that we are off on our week long adventure. Yesterday we left Raleigh to come to West Virginia. We're staying at Nina & GPs house and enjoying some R&R in the pool. Also making visits to Mamaw Evelyn, Mimi, Mamaw Pip, Aunt Glenna and the rest of the family. Nina and GP are having a big cookout today to celebrate Mamaw Pips birthday so we'll get to enjoy some time with the entire family! :-)

Tomorrow morning we'll be packing up and heading to Cincinnati to stay with Cousin Amanda and Gary. Here's our plans for the week...

Tuesday - Kings Island Amusement Park
Wednesday - Reds Game
Thursday - Zoo?
Friday - Zoo/Aquarium? Rehearsal Dinner
Saturday - Amanda & Gary's big day!!
Sunday - long drive home to Raleigh!

We'll try to post details as we travel - but might not be back online until we are home. Thanks for stopping by!!

First for each Hensley boy!

We are so excited to let everyone know about two big firsts that happened for our boys this week!

On Tuesday Stone started walking! He had taken a few steps here and there in prior weeks - but he just got up and started walking across the living room after his big brother! If he wants to get somewhere quick he'll still drop and crawl - but he's jumping to his feet more and more and when he does - watch out! :-)

On Tuesday Sterling had his first ever basketball practice! He has signed up for a short term basketball "intro" with Raleigh Parks & Recreation along with one of his buddies from school (Will Carpenter). He's already quite the dribbler and thoroughly enjoyed listening to his coach. Watch out sports world - there's another Hensley on the court! :-)
