Day 9: Cleveland Vacation

Sunday was the last day of our vacation. We went to my aunt Marsha's house to EAT!! We called it Na-Tah-ka Marsha's. The Na-Tah-Ka is the only "restauraunt" for miles around Big Bass Lake ( where we usually vacation). The Na-Tah-ka is a little hole in the wall bar/restauraunt. Everybody hangs out there to watch the sports games etc. Most everything comes in a basket...Shrimp basket, chicken strips basket etc. So we pretended to be at the Na-Tah-ka. We had deep fried shrimp, chicken strips, moz sticks. And some of our favorite things to get in Michigan, beef jerky and fudge. If you like fudge order from here you will be in love I don't like any other kind www.murdicks.com (maybe it is murdicks fudge.com??) It is out of Traverse City MI. Anyway so we ate and ate and ate! The beef jerky is awesome too. The grocery store, the only one... 30 miles away, makes there own. They have probably 50 kinds. Turkey jerky, venicine(sp?), elk, ostrich, and some others. All different flavors. It is sooooooo good! Anyway that is the end of my vacation entires ( a few days late)! Hope you enjoyed our journey with us!! Hopefully next year we will really go to Michigan...our cruddy little cabin, and our mucky little lake, and our big bat infested cabin...sounds fun huh??? We enjoy ourselves and have been for the last 20 some years. Oh I need to tell of why we go there. My grandpa went there as a child and My grandma went close to there or maybe even there(Big Bass Lake) when she was a child, so they took their kids and their kid tokk their kids(me and bros), and I have taken one child. How cute!!!!!

Day 8: Cleveland Vacation

A worn out Merci falls asleep holding her baloon!

Moriah, Merci, Clarissa and Alayna in the "hot tub" (Since there is only 1 inch of water it gets warm really quick so they callit their hot tub)

My birthday girl!!

This PINK entry is dedicated to my Merci who turned 5 today. How time flies. I have a 5 year old. I just can't get over it! Today we had a birthday party for Merci and 5 of her little friends. It went really well. We decorated little frilly pillows with puff paint, we decorated cupcakes and made ice cream sundaes, both of which were a HUGE mess. We has a pinata, and went swimming. Lots of fun!!

In the evening my wonderful friends Kelly and Jason watched my little Ethan again ( 2 times in 1 week) so we could got to Swings N Things to celebrate Merci's birthday with our family! Merci brought along her friend Yesenia (who is just as wild and crazy as Merci...it was a long night). We played games, went on the bumper boats, tried to put put (they were bored after the 3rd hole), and played in the Kiddie Korner. A LONG LONG DAY FOR EVERYONE!!

Day 7: Cleveland Vacation

Israle rides Clifford...with a hitchhiker!

Ethan makes silly faces in the mirror

What cuties! Ethan loves his big sis!!

Arianna eats almost this whole cake!!

Only Davey!!


Today was a pretty good day!! My Grandma, my Aunt, Ethan and I went to the WestSide Market. It felt so weird to be shopping in a market instead of our Americanized grocery store! I like it. Go so nice fresh meat and some fruit and veggies..not too many though. My father works downtown at the food terminal where ALL of the produce is shipped to grocery store. He says the produce at the West Side Market is all of their bad stuff. You can find goos stuff, don't get me wrong. I like it anyway!
My Aunt from Virginia came in town this weekend and she took Merci for a day out for her birthday. They went to McD's, out for ice cream and to see Madagascar! And I got a break. I even got a nap in today=)
At 5:00 we went to my parents for sub sandwiches and root ber floats! Yummy! And then out the door we hurried to make it to Arianna Morales's 1st birthday party!!!! At Chuck E Cheese!!
What a blast we had with all the little kids. The Bruckmans, The Goles and The Adams were there. The little boys were so cute together! Israel, Ethan and Noah got to ride their first rides. Ariana ate almost a whole cake by herself and Davey had fun dancing with Chuck E!!! . A fun filled day! Tommorow is Merci's 5th birthday!!

Day 6: Cleveland Vacation

Thursday we went to Hartville Market Place and Hartville Kitchen. It is out near Akron. The Hartville Kitchen has really yummy homecooked food,a nd some little souvenier shops and a bakery..Oh the stuff they had..YUM YUM! Hartville Marketplace is an outdoor and indoor flea market thing. They were selling fruits, veggies(really cheap 5lbs of sweetpotatoes for $1, 6-7 zuchinis for $1 etc.). They also had little specialty shops and more food! We had fun and got some good deals.

Later on that night we headed to Dave and Busters, of course that was fun!! Just think me and my Grandma racing on the virtual reality jet skis!!THANKS KELLY AND JASON for watching my crazy children and kitten! I love you guys and owe you a night out at a restauraunt!!
