This last week we stuck close to cleveland but we did a lot of stuff. We went to the RainForest at the Cleveland Zoo, which was really fun. And ofcourse for our budding dino baby we went through the dino exhibit. Josh loved each and every dinosaur taking time to examine each one. Abby was excited to be squirted by the dino's that squirt water at you. It was a hot day!
The next day we went to the Natural History Museum. We spend ALL day there and still didn't see everything they had. We really liked their dino section (for obvious Joshy reasons). They also had a nice living history museum (little zoo) and a fun discovery zone.
On Wednesday we headed to Rocky River Reservation and walked all around this huge tundra. It helped keep us cool and we had a beautiful bird's eye view of the Rocky River that empty's into Lake Erie. We took Lainee with us on that trip and she had a blast chasing squirrels and chipmunks. The kids both had fun chasing her.
Thursday we stayed home and packed for our camping trip on Friday. It was the first time that I can remember being at a campsite before dusk! I love it! We pitched our tent and headed over to Geneva State Park's Beach. Wow! I have to say it was wonderful. The lake was clean and so was the beach. I was worried about how hot it was until we dipped in and then everyone cooled right off. We stayed until the ominous clouds in the sky and the lifegaurds chased us out. We rinsed off and then headed to our friends campsite for some hot dogs. Not much later it started to rain, heavily. We didn't even get to make s'mores! The rain came down and the floods came up and needless to say our little campsite was flooded. We ended up driving the hour home and sleeping in our own beds. It was good too because we ended up with a flat tire. The next morning after getting it fixed we headed back up to the state park. Our friends, who braved the storm, told us that we had squatters on our campsite. We talked to the park ranger and got a refund. We spend the rest of the day at the beach. The kids loved every minute of it and so did we. So much in fact that we did not take a single picture. We used floaties to surf the kid sized waves. There was a long sandbar that was pefect for us to play in. It was a great week!

it's always a good sign when you've had too much fun to take pics! :) Glad it was a good week-- :)
Glad you had fun without me. JK
I am glad you are getting out and having fun this summer. All too soon it will be fall and Abby will enter the world of public school. I always feel I become the property of the school system. Everything has to be scheduled around the school.
