Fallen Timbers Fall Festival

Give me free fun fall festivities, and I am SO there!

Isaac and his best bud Madison...yes, the gorilla did become Spiderman...we were going for originality!

MacQueen's Apple Butter Festival

I LOVE fall! It is the most beautiful time of the year, the air is crisp, and our fall festivities are in full swing! MacQueen's Apple Butter Festival is one of the most anticipated events in our area. This year, it rained on Saturday, so Sunday was PACKED! But it was also perfect! And the apple cider was yummy!

Cedar Point

Sad but true: I live 50 minutes from Cedar Point and had not been for 10 years...the last time we went was for the opening of the Millenium Force in 2000. So I just had to work it in this summer...it was a blast!

Mr. Coolman in the back of the kids' jeep:)

Gabe, Zoe, and Isaac...they were such a team!

Family Fun

Exhausted!

Last Trip of the Summer to the Zoo

There was an animal show; Isaac got to pet this turtle and a ferret!

It was extremely hot, so we took a break in the air conditioning!

Isaac loves the animal masks outside the kids' area.

Great Friends Whom I Miss:(

Since I changed jobs over the summer, I do not see these two lovely ladies pictured with me:( We got together late August to catch up, which we MUST do again soon. We went to dinner then stayed out at Fallen Timbers until (gasp!) 2am! I truly do not know how many years it has been since I was out that late!
