We live in a really active arts community.  With a OSU and CCAD in our city, along with  The Short North down, High St.,  there are many opportunities to not only enjoy art but participate in it also.  Last night The Short North introduced a new concept, Art al Fresco.  Most galleries stayed open late, hosting performances in their windows and on their sidewalks.  Artists, including my kids Grimaldi Circus, roamed the main drag.

This is just a small sampling of the fun!  Hopefully this will become a regularly scheduled event!

And on another hopeful note-I have fingers crossed that Ginger’s puking and high fever this morning at 5 AM will be quick to pass.  She has a very important Birthday to attend later this afternoon.  And I already made the potato salad dag nab  it!

Nothing feels quite blog worthy these days.  Seems like boring reporting.  Hopefully next week I will feel more inspired.  I am feeling  like the summer is slipping away-how pessimistic is that on July 13th?  At the end of every 4th of July my dad would say, “Well Summer is half over.”  I think I got it from him.

Anyhoo on to the weekend update:  Saturday morning brought the usual trip the our farmers market and lunch here:

at Rad Dog.  If you are local check out the schedule and have a tofurky treat-with condiments of excellence!

Sat night I got to comb my hair and put on my best flip flops to enjoy an excellent adult only dinner at The Bonefish Grill.  Can you say Mmm Mmm Great!  If you have some extra cash and a babysitter you should definitely check it out.

This morning we headed out for a bike ride.

And I spent a bit of long overdue time in my veggie garden.  I think there were steroids in that compost I added ’cause I got me some big veggie plants!

At this rate the tomatoes ought to hit the roof by the end of August! I have loads of flowers on all the veggie plants but I haven’t seen many bees and I am wondering if I need to head out with paint brush in hand for a little manual pollination.

I have nieces coming to town to visit this week, we have the Kidz Artz show to get ready for and evening circus classes all week.  Phew-more busy-ness!

..or is it “That’s a Wrap?”  Either way, the first week of circus camp is over. Five days of 9-3:30 worth of intensive circus work has everyone worn out.  If it wasn’t for my barking dog I would be still be asleep also.  Next week the class meets later in the evening, so we can all sleep in a bit.   Jake really attended this week more as a helper to the younger and newer kids.  A role he seems to be good at-but don’t tell him I said that, it may ruin his tough image!   But he  participated a good bit also.  To close the week the group had a small performance for families today.  And as always they learned lots of new skills and their confidence has grown.  A good show as always!

up and moving

Look, she moved up to  the taller stilts this week!!!

Jake took the time on lower stilts this week to try out some new tricks.

They also worked on trapeze, poi, juggling, tumbling and hula hooping this week.  Ginger and I stayed and did their morning warm up a few days this week and let me tell you-it was NOT easy.  This is some hard work.  Back to sleep!
