The Kelly Miller Circus

The Kelly Miller Circus came to Wilmette, right in the back yard of my school. It was great. Giana sat so nicely (most ofthe time) which is an impossible task these days. There were animals, fun acrobatic tricks, music and fire! We had a great time.

Apple Holler--Take 1

We headed to Apple Holler with the Millers for what was supposed to be a great day...but turned into breakfast and goat feeding b/c of the rain. Oh well. We still had a good time with our good friends.

Labor Day Weekend

We had a great labor day weekend in Ohio! We loved spending time with Zio Gene and Uncle David. We drove in on Saturday and Zio Gene made a wonderful mexican fiesta complete with homegrown tomatoes and other veggies. On Sunday, we headed to the Toledo Zoo and once again had a great time. Giana just loves animals, so it was so great to see the zoo through her eyes. Here are some pics of the day:

On Monday, before taking off, we headed to the Labor Day parade, where VP Biden was out and about shaking hands. While the secret service was a bit scary and over the top (we stood by as the long fast black car brigade sped past us), it was really neat that he came to Toledo and that we were there, just a few feet away from him.

Giana was just waiting for more lollipops. She was really cute!

Here are Giana and I with my brother, Eugene.

We had a great weekend-thanks for having us!
