Fun ‘n Stuff

The kids all had President’s Day off from school, so it was best to take advantage of that and make sure to do something as a family. Michelle, Patty, and Eddy had no objection to my plan for the day. The first step was to get everyone some lunch, from there it was on to a place that I have been going since I was a kid.

Fun ‘n Stuff is a fairly easy destination for a cheap family activity. My parents used to take us kids there every once in a while. I always remember having a good time. The place has not changed a great deal. There have been some changes, but there is something really nice about being able to come back year after year and have the same fun. There is plenty to do there, but I mostly take the kids for the roller skating, arcade machines, and air hockey.

The kids all went roller skating. More specifically they all went roller blading. I remember when roller rinks started carrying roller blades they were usually a few more dollars to rent, and I never bothered to try. These kids though have gone ice skating and have been using roller blades for quite some time, so they are more versatile than I ever was. We held a little air hockey tournament. The kids are honestly getting pretty good at air hockey. It was a fun day.

Seventh Foot

Eddy has earned yet another foot, in the before school Walking Club, bringing the grand total to seven. The color chosen this time was black. The school year is well over half over it is fair to assume that there will probably only be several more feet before it is finished.

On an almost completely unrelated note all the feet have a heart shaped hole. No idea what that signifies or if it signifies anything at all.

Mock Trial

Patty went to the Cuyahoga County Courthouse in downtown Cleveland, right next to the lake, on Friday to participate in Mock Trial. She was the Bailiff and Time Keeper for Archbishop Hoban and if she listens and pays attention to the other students who got to be the prosecutor and defense lawyer then maybe she will get to do that next year.

She recieved a pin and they won the meeting, so there will be another meeting at some point in the future. She should be receiving another pin at that time.
