The summer brings busy weekends full of fun festivals, afternoons with friends, food, music and occasionally running.
This year marked the first Annual Kids' Dash as part of the Ohio City 5K Run N Crawl. I was excited that my suggestion for a Kids Run was taken and I helped recruit some volunteers for the race. We had about 35 kids ranging in ages from 3-7 years old participate.
The Starting Line

Earlier that day we joined NWIS for a "meet and greet" picnic at Fairview Park. Many of the new students were in attendance and posed for a photo.
Among the other fun outings so far, included "Parade the Circle", weekly concerts at Wade Oval Wednesdays (WOW), a visit to Rocky River Beach, a Family Fun Walk at the Cleveland Zoo, a weeklong Pony Camp for Sofia and...Backyard Camping!

Beatles Solstice Party and Backyard Camping
During our Mexican vacation Jen, Molly and I came up with a number of party ideas and one of them was a Summer Solstice celebration and a Beatles-music themed party. We decided to combine both ideas and Jen graciously offered to host it. In addition they offered to host this year's Backyard Camping, which we hosted last year. There weren't too many takers to actually camp out this year, but we did! As did a few other brave souls.

"How old are you?"
Ready for storytime and bed!
I won't even tell you what time they actually fell asleep.

Breakfast of Champions!
Thanks O'Learys for a fun, albeit it exhausting night! Great music and excellent company. Next post I'll include more photos from the Kids' Dash and the "dance contest" that Joe organized and coached Sofia to dance to Lady Gaga's "Poker Face."
