Mt Adams Walking Tour and Winning tickets at today's silent auction to save our neighborhood pool

Audrey will now ham it up for the camera.

Which only encourages me to take more pictures.

Sunday morning we stopped by Bow Tie Cafe for breakfast.

And then took the Architreks Mt Adams tour which was part of the fundraising weekend to "Save Our Pool."  We have taken this tour with Jim S. before but still learned new info.... including this is where one of the cannons was set up during the Civil War.  Never needed.
Miss A would not wear this hat for
 this 2 hour walking tour.  Of course it probably would have helped if her parents had worn hats.


Our neighbor Erin F really likes babies.


Erin helped keep Audrey entertained with Cheerios and animal crackers.

Time for sippy cup after this long tour.

Then lunch at Longworths.  1st time with a booster seat.

I believe she prefers booster seats to high chairs.

To me this picture just seems a little like looking in to the future.

Sunday evening Chelsea babysat again and we went to dinner in Mariemont followed by a movie (Winston Churchiill: Walking with Destiny).  After dinner I received an email that I had won tickets to Peanut Butter and Jam sessions (for Audrey and I) as well as Reds tickets behind home plate for John.  These were silent auction items for the "Save the Pool".  One of our neighbors is delivering the tickets tomorrow.

Oh, and a really interesting piece of info we learned this weekend included history about our house.  We purchased Jim Steiner's book Immaculata on Mt Adams A One Hundred and Fifty Year History  and on page 85 we read:
The McCabe Clan grew up on lower Hatch St. at the Ft. View intersection.  both McCabe daughters, Catherine Laboure and Ann Maureen, joined the Sisters of Charity.  their father worked for the Burger Brewing Company and was instrumental in helping William Crowley start Crowley's Highland House in 1937, just across the street from Immaculata and an unofficial part of the church since then.
