I hope everyone had a Spooktacular Halloween!  I know we did.  We’d been getting ready for our Halloween festivities for months.  To look around our house it looked as if we’ve done the same things as normal.  But were they? Nope here is how we spent our Halloween this year! On Saturday, October 30th we hopped a plane and headed south for a week of fun at Disney World …. We attended the Mickey’s Not So Scary...

Dane and I went to my parent’s last Tuesday and from there we went to the Erie Zoo.  We  have never been there before and didn’t know what to expect.  I was really impressed.  It is a small zoo but it is very nice.  I enjoyed the variety of animals.   They had these Sand Cats…… I haven’t seen sand cats at any other zoo.  My pictures of them are a bit blurry because they do not stay still for more than a...

This past Saturday we went to the Burton Antique Fair at the Geauga County Fair Grounds.  We have never gone to this show before and thought we’d go see what it is all about. There were lots of sellers with really nice antiques.  The only downfall to the day was the heat.  Around here we consider ourselves blessed when it gets hot but this was oppressive humid hot.  Other than that we had a really good time.  Dane wasn’t to...

Brandon and I took a road trip last weekend…. We went to a convention for the Nutcracker Collector’s Club….if you want to see more about that pop over to Brandon’s blog! Time is just flying by.  Only a few more weeks of school left!!!  I know Dane is excited about that!  I’m going to get busier. I have lots to get done for the Mad Tea Party.  I have been working on a few ideas and getting together some...

This past weekend the weather was spectacular.  Saturday we decided to make the trek to the Yankee Peddler Festival.  We used to attend the festival about every other year but we hadn’t gone in over 5 years.    We ended up taking the “scenic route” (i.e. we went the wrong way).  Thank goodness for the GPS or we would still be driving around…. We  eventually got there, parked and went and paid our $27.00 for the...

The son and I took a trip to the Akron Zoo today.  We have been looking forward to going all summer and finally made it.  We were excited to see the jaguar cubs. It was crazy trying to get to see the cubs.  I think everyone at the zoo was there just to see them and that is where they all were.  We finally got in close enough to get a good view of them and it was worth it. Every time we go to the Akron Zoo we have to get a picture of the...
