...so I guess my one Cleveland rant, needs to be followed by something positive. I'm not promising that I will have something positive to say every month- but I think it's
necessary this month. Here goes.
I love that if you drive 10 minuets in the right direction, you aren't in Cleveland anymore. Well, you are- but it doesn't feel like it.
Hhhmm. Is it funny or pathetic that my positive, is "getting out" of Cleveland.
This is Chagrin Falls. It's a little town torn out of an old fashioned book. There aren't very many franchise type stores that line it's quaint little main street. In the center of town- you can get up close and personal with the falls.
Every year on memorial weekend they have a cute little street fair. There are a few rides, and street vendors, and carnival food. It somehow feels a million miles away. Crew couldn't get enough of the worlds fastest merry go round. It was the perfect mix of noise, speed, and lights. I don't know why I'm surprised-
Pyper and Elle are total lunatics. I remember
Pyper going down a HUGE water slide in Boise, over and over and over again. (by herself) My grandpa used to
threaten to ban Elle from his pool, on a regular basis.
No matter how small a town- they still want to make a buck. This is the girls trying to choose how they would use their tickets. They had enough for ONE ride. If I would have known how much stress goes into choosing the PERFECT ride- I probably would have taken out another student loan, so that they could go on two. Yikes! Pick one already! Lucky for them, a nice man (i'm going to hope/assume he was nice and not nice in a creepy kids carnival perv. sorta way) gave them some more tickets on his way out of the fair. We are going to go ahead and call it a blessing, because it saved us all from our own individual ulcers.

Ha Ha. I don't live in CLEVELAND anymore! Neener Neener Neener! By the way...tell Dale I thought it very rude that he left our house without saying goodbye to me. I didn't get a chance to thank him for helping us load the truck. Thanks Dale!
Yeah we should have gone together. I'm glad we found out about it because we all needed to get out of the house!! When is the one in twinsburg (? i think that's what you called it?) and where is that/ how far away?
We love Chagrin Falls too! It's fun to feed the ducks at the river and play at the little playground there! We also like to get Ben & Jerry's while were there! YUM!
Looks like fun. Nothing like a good carnival!!! Your kids are so cute!! I have to say that I LOVE reading your blog- it always makes me laugh!!
