It's Friday night, and you know what that means..

It is time to Dare to Share! 

It was another busy week! Last weekend while running errands we stopped by Bob Evans for lunch. It's strawberry season, so they have a ton of berry goodies on their menu. We tried their strawberry chocolate French toast.. It was so good!!! I am sharing this in case there is anybody here that likes berries and wants to check it out. (this is NOT a paid ad, I just really, really liked this French Toast.)

On Monday I made a couple of batches of cookie dough to freeze for an upcoming market. We also babysat our grandbaby a couple of times.  She is at such a fun age.  She is almost 10 months old, and on the verge of walking.  On Wednesday we went to our weekly trivia night. We won a round, and got third place overall.  Right before trivia was supposed to start, a huge thunderstorm went through our area.  They power went out for a few minutes. While we were fine at the restaurant, the power was out in several parts of the region because of downed trees and power lines.  

On Thursday we took our sons (one mine, one his) to Cedar Point for the day. That too was an adventure.  As soon as we got there it started pouring. We had to run for cover under an awning. The rain started to slow down, so we entered the park.  We had a quick lunch, and got in line for the roller coaster Maverick.  We had been in line for a bit, when over the intercom they said the ride was being shut down for a bit due to heavy rain coming through.  We were then told we could stay in line, or if we decided to leave, we would lose our place in line. Since it was raining and we had shelter, we decided to stay in line. About half the people in line left. We were hoping the rain would stop quickly, but it didn't. The place erupted with cheers when it was announced the ride was starting back up again.  It took a total of 3 hours before we got on the ride.  

I am so surprised I did it, but the four of us rode the TT2.  If you do not know of TT2, it is a super fast and very tall roller coaster.  You will be able to see it in the last photo. 

Once the weather cleared up and the sun came out, the weather was perfect. It was in the low 70s with clear skies.  Toward the end of the day we decided to go on the big Ferris wheel and then ride the Gatekeepers as our last ride.  

I took this picture at the top of the big wheel. The sun was going down over Lake Erie and there was a pretty glow over the park. Do you see that giant tower like thing in the back, that is part of TT2.  The coaster has to go 120 mph to make it over the top. Now that I rode it once, I don't need to do it again. LOL!

This weekend we are on another adventure.  I will post more about it soon! 

Now that you now what I have been up to, I would love to see what you have been up to.  Link up and HAVE FUN!

It's Party Time! Let's Dare to Share!

It's Friday night, and you know what that means..

It is time to Dare to Share! 

We had another fun and busy week.  Last Sunday we attended a large strawberry festival not too far from where we live.  I love strawberries and there were so many yummy treats available there. 

It was quite impressed with the stilt walkers walking around the festival.  I am just a little over 5 ft tall and they were double my size! 

On Wednesday we attended the Logan Wilson Celebrity Softball game.  Logan Wilson is a linebacker for the Cincinnati Bengals. This was the 3rd annual game for the Brooks Joshua Anderson foundation which raises funds for SIDS research. 

Many of the Bengals supported this cause and showed up to play. This year Tee Higgins and Jamar Chase joined in the game.  It was so much fun to see the guys enjoying friendly competition.  While they were still being competitive, it was not in a serious way.   The final score of the game was actually like a football score, 31 to 27 in just seven innings!  We hope to go again if Logan Wilson does this again next year. 

We are expecting rain all weekend, so it might be a little less busy.  I still need to post my blog post about how to make the fake bake cookies.  :) 

Now that you know what I have been up to, I would love to see what you have been doing.  Link up and HAVE FUN!

It's Friday night, and you know what that means..

It is time to Dare to Share! 

We are taking a short trip to Michigan this weekend.  We went to the dance with our friends tonight for the first dance of the summer.  It is usually one of the biggest dances of the year with both a DJ and a band.  It will be just a short visit though, because we have something planned back in on Ohio on Sunday.  

The market last weekend was a success! I sold quite a few cookies, and had some interest in the fake bake cookies.  A few people thought they were actually real, and wanted to eat them.  LOL! I did find out though, that they are so light that a big gust a wind can blow them right off the table. I do have a few spots I need to touch up on a couple of them.  We have another market in a few weeks, and I will find a different way to display them.  I am thinking of wrapping them in clear cellophane and  hanging them somehow so they are easier for people to see when walking by our booth. 

I was a little under the weather earlier this week after catching a cold from one of our toddlers at the daycare.  Thankfully it was pretty fast moving, so I am on the tail end of the it. It did take it easy a few days, because it did make me want to rest more than usual. 

Since it is already pretty late, let's get this party started.   Link up and HAVE FUN!
