Kindermusik Fun

Peyton is up to her ears in fun this autumn. Kindermusik, Storytime and Explorations in Dance class... she has us hopping. Jimmy is still home and Peyton is eating up every minute. Kali is busy with school and dancing. She is looking forward to making her dancing debut with the Akron Symphony Orchestra later in October. The arrival of October brings birthday planning with it. Kali has decided she wants to bake pies at The Pie Factory at Quaker Square in beautiful downtown Akron. Can't wait to see 18 kids up to their elbows in flour! The best part of this party will be the 9 inch pie each kid gets to take home! We will rent the partyroom at our condo for Peyton, she chose to have a "Curious George" party. Clowns, games and a pinata will be on the ticket - your typical 3 year old garden variety birthday. Should prove to be an exciting month!

All is "Fair" in Geauga County

Well, the girls returned to the county of their birth for the final "Country Fair" of the year. The Geauga County Fair is one of the oldest fairs in Ohio. We had a great time. My aunt and uncle moved to this area a few years ago and we are continuing to discover the beauty of Amish country. Of course, for Kali and Peyton it was all about the greasy food and the friendly (or not-so-friendly) animals. We ate homemade and delicious (read, unhealthy) food, saw the most lovely animals and rode some pretty scary looking rides. The girls were able to interact with all kinds of animals - little rabbits to draft horses and everything in between. The llamas and the alpacas were especially interesting to Kali. Peyton liked the miniature horses and the sheep. Good, wholesome family fun! The food selection was mind boggling. We all agreed that the fried sweet potatoes were wonderful, but nothing beats fried shoe string potatoes with malt vinegar! Can you hear my arteries clogging?
