Our Last Full Day with lots of fun...

Today was a full last day. We began with going to the Canfield Fair. Now this is no ordinary fair, nobody in Ohio misses the fair. They have everything from the largest pumpkin, to an old town, to tanks, the poor man's caramel apple to fun rides. Uncle Phil has an "in" with some friends of his so we got free rides and entrance fees. Altogether it was lots of fun! 

As soon as we got home from the fair we went to Aunt Jo and Uncle Dave's to help cousin Beth (who is visiting from Pennsylvania) to make curtains for her coming baby girl. We got those done in a jiffy. Soon after we were done with the curtains cousin Michelle showed up with her husband Andy, and kids Maya, and Mesa. They are from Pennsylvania also. It was really neat that we all happened to be here at the same time. We had a big family dinner tonight with everybody. It was lots of fun, with Uncle Dave telling stories about when he was younger. We had lots of fun playing with Caleb and the other kids and talking to our cousins.

Just when we thought adventures were over...

Today we went to Canton, OH.

Yes, some of you may be asking, "Why Canton?  What is in Canton?"

While others of you will gasp in surprise, "Canton! Not the Canton."

Canton is the birthplace of football and the house of the Football Hall of Fame.

Yes, that's right folks, the one and only Pro Football Hall of Fame. It has everything from the history of football, the hall of fame room, history of every team, lots of in-game uniforms, footballs, helmets, cleats, play-calling recordings, interviews, theater showing the road to the Superbowl (it would be amazing to watch a Seahawks game on this TV), the Vince Lombardi trophy, to all the Super Bowl rings and lots more.

Yes, it's a football fan's paradise. 


Here's a few photos of just some things we got to see there.
