Another weekend of good weather allowed for another weekend of fun for Libby and Mary. This time, it included a Saturday road trip to Marblehead for an afternoon on Lake Erie. Most of the afternoon was spent walking around Lakeside, checking out all the places Mom used to get into trouble as a kid. Libby walked out onto the pier and got a ride in a golf cart before hitting up the Patio for her first ice cream cone of the day!
Mary also reaped the benefits of a trip to The Patio, as she downed her first Patio donut. Although Dad helped--just a little!--Mary finished the donut in record time. And she was none too pleased when it was gone! After Lakeside came Dad's treat--lunch at Netty's! Unfortunately for Libby and Mary, their tastebuds haven't matured to the point where they choose to enjoy a chili dog from Netty's. Their bad! Maybe next summer (hopefully sooner, hint, hint, Mom!).
The final stop of the afternoon before the return trip home was to Toft's Ice Cream to see the giant mermaid statue. Libby actually saw it earlier in the week when she road up to Marblehead with Papa Hanna and Aunt Reen to check out next summer's vacation house. So, of course, we had to go see the mermaid. And, of course, Libby had to get more green ice cream. So, of course, Dad bought some for him and Mary as well. It was a good day! Just don't tell anyone that Libby had two ice cream cones in the span of three hours.
That trip wasn't Libby's only fun of the week, however. She also went to Kiddie Park with her friend Henry. It was supposed to be Libby and Henry and Will, but Will backed out at the last minute (Dad's guess is that Henry paid off Will to stay home...). So, it ended up being a first date, with Henry's dad and Libby's dad tagging along. The people at Kiddie Park probably thought they were Cleveland's version of "My Two Dads". Anyhow, the "date" ended with, you guessed it, ice cream at East Coast. It seemed like everything went well that night, but it's been more than the obligatory three days, and Henry hasn't called. Oh well, his loss!
