Sights and Scenes of Cleveland

Take Me Out to the Ball Game!
We are enjoying all there is to do and see in Cleveland. Last Friday, we joined the Arnows at the Indians game. They were playing the Yankees, so the stadium was packed! Although the Indians got creamed, we had a great time riding the train downtown, cheering at the game, and watching the spectacular post-game fireworks show. We were pretty tired when we finally got home around midnight, but it was a lot of fun.

Stetson devouring the program.


The view from our seats. Check out the cityscape!


The Feast of the Assumption
Today, Stetson and I walked with Lafe to school and spent a few hours in Little Italy, a small neighborhood just past the school. This weekend is the Feast of the Assumption. It's a weekend-long party that kicks off with a mass and procession. We watched the procession from the front lawn of a house with some other moms and babies. The procession had everything -- music, costumes, the Virgin Mary on a golf cart, and a bishop praying on a bull horn. As you can see, Stetson loved it!


The costumes were so colorful. And I kept wanting to steal all the little girls!


Stetson is having a great time meeting new friends.

Well Cleveland Chaffee's here is the ruling-

Since you did not show up last Sunday for dinner (some excuse about living in Cleveland) the Chaffee Family court ruled on your pending posting case. The ruling is that you MUST post more often than 4 times a month preferably with pictures of the ever popular Stetson. If you do not comply and start posting multiple times a week consequences will follow. Don’t let that happen! Hopefully case closed!
