Get your 'stache on!

This year Cincinnati and Great American Ballpark hosted the 2015 MLB All-Star game.  In preparation for our night in the spotlight Cincinnati was all decked out!  Mr. Redlegs and his great handlebar mustache became the logo for the event.  All around downtown mustaches were placed to get the city ready for our big night!  Mom, Pops, and I planned a downtown adventure to see all of the decorations and they let me bring my friend Avery along!
Our adventure begins, where else but Fountain Square.


Countdown clock!
There were several of these "pictures frames throughout the city!
First mustache was at the Westin Hotel!
Avery and I decided we needed to change up our poses at each 'stache!
Same 'stache, different side.

How do we look with a mustache?
The Scripps building as Mr. Redlegs!

While we were downtown we also visited Smale Park.  Cincinnati has been working hard on expanding the parks at the riverfront.  This year at Smale park they added a carousel, splash pad, and some other fun interactive elements.
A ride on the new carousel.  Each animal reflects something unique about the city!
Another 'stache; another pose!
Mom and Pops!
Looking out over the river and the rest of Smale park!
The splash pad at Smale.  It was a little chilly but that wasn't going
to stop us from running through the water!
The last 'stache in front of Great American Ball Park.
 And we saw a wedding party have their pictures taken too!
We wrapped up our adventure with ice cream!
