Another week of run streaking down and I’m now at 65 days! I don’t know how much longer I’ll keep this up, but it’s been actually great to get out there every day. This week was easier than usual, because my parents were in town for a few days! So, Sunday and Monday I was able to sleep late (6:30-7 ish) and get in a run while the kids hung out with my parents. They enjoyed the Nonna and Grandpa time and I enjoyed the time to myself to run!

B Goes Away, My Parents Come Visit
My weekend was full of family, food and fun.
Friday night started with pizza at my sister-in-law’s house. The boys were out of town for my brother-in-law’s bachelor party, so my sisters-in-law, mother-in-law, the cousins, me, LM and FW got together for dinner.
But Saturday was when the real fun started. My parents had come in late Friday night, so when FW and LM woke up, they were so excited to see them. First thing, we walked to Luna for breakfast.
After breakfast, we headed to the aquarium. It was Grandparents Weekend and they were celebrating by having free admission for grandparents!
LM enjoyed seeing the fish.
But not as much as FW. He was so excited to spend time with my parents and see the sharks, turtles, etc.
After the aquarium and naptime, we hit up the nearby playground. The kids burned off some energy with my parents’ dog.
After takeout dinner, it was time to put the kids to bed and watch some TV. My parents and I watched a few episodes of Jack Ryan — I had never seen it before, but B has and now I’m hooked!
Sunday included a lot of stuff- but no real pictures! My parents left around 10 a.m. but we still managed to have a full day without them. The day included:
- B getting home and picking up FW for his family’s golf outing
- Some grocery shopping
- A 5 mile run
- A walk with LM while FW was golfing
- Some playing outside
And now, I’m tired. I need a day to recover – having the kids to myself is hard!
Questions for you:
- When was the last time you went to an aquarium?
- Do you golf?

We Love Grandparent Time
FW got an extra dose of Grandparent Time this weekend – he spent Friday night with B’s mom and the rest of the weekend with my parents!
I neglected to take any photos Friday night with B’s mom, but FW got to spend some time with her because B and I had tickets to the Indians playoff game!!
It was a great night for some baseball and seasonably warm (80 degrees!). Oh yeah, and we won!
We followed the game with some local thin crust pizza. I love Pizza 216’s dough.
Saturday we woke up and it felt like fall was here! We decided to take my parents away from downtown for the day and spent some time in Burton, Ohio for their Oxtoberfest AND apple butter festival.
We watched people make apple butter and of course ought some to go.
After the festival, we made quick stop at Ohio wine country. I love Spring River for its views and I’m glad my parents got to check it out.
We started Sunday with a run (faster than my previous runs!) trip to the Market, a walk around Ohio City and brunch at Le Petit Triangle.
My mom and I split the lemon curd French toast and the Croque Madame. They were so so good!
B also got this fancy coffee drink. I got to have the whipped cream but he enjoyed the rest of it which had grand marinier and whiskey I think. 
After that it was time to say goodbye to my parents – which is always so sad. Luckily we were headed right to Sofia’s cross country meet so that helped keep my mind off of them leaving. FW was thrilled to cheer on his cousin at her race. 
It was fun watching the kids run!
And then it was already nearly time for Sunday family dinner with B’s family. We ended the weekend with a fall meal – beef stew and apple crisp. And of course, milk for the little guy. Cheers to a great week!
Some questions for you:
- Did you enjoy any fall meals? What’s your favorite fall meal?
- How do you like your eggs?
I’m linking up with Erin, Katie and the weekly wraps.
