Weekend Fun

Well this past weekend was great. It started Friday night when I got to go see Garaway put on High School Musical. They did an excellent job! The only thing that was wrong was that I couldn't see a thing. :( I was 3 rows from the back and everyone in front of me was craning their necks to see, which meant everytime there was an opening and I could see, someone stuck their head in that opening... So that was rather frustrating! It's too bad they can't build an auditorium. I know that they probably don't have the money for it and all, but maybe the drama club and stuff could start saving now... But anyways it was a fun musical nonetheless.

Then Saturday Laura, Ohlen, and I headed to Mayfield Heights to spend the weekend with Lana Peterson! Ryan, her husband, and Jonathan (they are old college roomies and we are all friends :)) went on a fishing trip to PA with Ryan's dad. So, we went up to keep her company and have a fun girls and baby weekend. :) First she fed us some excellent lunch, then we traveled to Chardon for their Maple Festival. None of us had ever been there before, so it was quite the adventure. It was so much like the Swiss Festival except more crowded and more food stands. There were like 4 funnel cake stands and 2, yes 2!, fried Swiss cheese stands! Craziness. Anyways, their big thing is this Maple Stir, which is fresh made maple syrup that you stir with a tongue depressor until it gets to a frosting like consistency. Very sugary and good. It was a great time. We watched most of the parade. We were disappointed that they didn't throw candy to adults... Just to the kids sitting right on the curb. We saw the Swiss Festival queen in the parade which was exciting. :) Oh and a little boy threw a small rock at us, great times. :) So then we walked around and Lana bought a funnel cake, Laura bought a bloomin onion and I bought a HUGE lemonaide and we sat and ate/drank it all. bad idea. We all didn't feel so hot, especially with the sun. Then we went back to Lana's, made a Target run, ate a wholesome dinner, and went to bed ridiculously early. Sunday we went to their church, which was great, then ate lunch at Olive Garden. Then Laura and I headed back to Tusc county. And I got to see Nate and Aubyn at mom and dad's when I got back so that was a huge plus. :) Just a great weekend!

So I didn't mention Ohlen at all up there. That's because I was saving it for here. :) He was such a trooper!! He had some major firsts! It was the longest he has been outside at one time ever! So weird to think about. The first time he got to lay in the grass. First time in a strange nursery. He gave his first high five!!! Laura worked with him. He doesn't do it very well, but it is adorable. He basically just flails his arms and maybe will hit your hand. Although when Laura was working with him he would grab her hand with his right hand and then hit her hand with his left. :) I wish I pictures of him from the weekend, but Jonathan took the camera to PA. But that's ok, he got some good pictures there. OH, I will take this moment to thank the town of Chardon for having a Baby changing station available! That was completely awesome! You don't realize how nice that is until you have to change your babies diaper on the floor of a bathroom somewhere, gross.

So anyways, it was a great fun filled weekend. I hope you all had good ones as well. :) Looks like summer is finally approaching and I can plant all these wonderful seeds I have. :)
