Cherry Fest '09

The week of Cherry Festival was just chaos for me. I was in the middle of trying to buy a car, house sit for some dear friends of mine, and attend as many Cherry Festival activities as possible, for Ella's sake. Although, we didn't get to do as much as usual, we still attended both parades, both firework displays, ate some Gibby's french fries, and rode some rides at the Midway. Ella had a ball at everything. The fireworks were a first for her and she "oohed and aahed" throughout the shows. We took her on the lots of rides, and this year she was just tall enough to do the swings, which is a favorite for Mommy, so we did those and many others. Rusty and a few other friends ran the 5k on Saturday morning so Ya Ya and I took Ella down to watch that bright and early Saturday morning. Passed Elie Krieger from the Food Network as we stopped at Crema for a breakfast sandwich. All in all it was a good week though. Here are some pictures...
