Our dear friend, Stephanie. As this is part 2 of our trip, I saved our last day for ....last! LOL Anyway...yesterday, Stephanie treated us to an old-time victorian Tea Parlor...imagine a victorian "Dr. Quinn" style....we loved it! Ronnie, Charles and David went to a resteraunt for lunch...then hiking down to a little river with falls...Ronnie had so much fun!
Stephanie in the square(in her Audrey Hepburn outfit). The town was called "Oldstead Falls"...and they brought all of these buildings from all over Ohio, renovated them, created this little town with bricked walkways, a gazebo, train, shops, 2 eating establishments, a barber shop and many more....all authentic. It was so cool to walk around like it was the Dr. Quinn town!
The Livery Stable sign above Clementine's tea parlor.
My three beautiful daughters in the gazebo...overlooking the river.
The ice cream parlor...we were so full after the tea parlor, that we'll save this one for next time.
This is so funny....Stephanie ordered 'high tea' for all of us...and look at Anna's face...this was before food.....

THIS is Anna after her food arrived....she said "this tower is all for me?!"...and it was! She had her own food, tea pot and tea cup...she was so happy!

The girls thought this antique phone booth was really cool.
Clementine's Tea Parlor....
Abigail's quilt shoppe....beautiful fabrics!
The old buggy...Ronnie did NOT want his picture taken...he wanted to go off with the guys.
The town boasted a wooden 'boardwalk' outside the shops...just like in the old days so the ladies didn't have to 'muss' their skirts.
Back at Stephanie's...the boys and Sara played Wii, Anna played with the dog, while Meghan, Stephanie and I looked at some old pictures of the kids when they were little, and then we loaded up the car. We drove away with the three of them waving and Charles even had the dog, Gunner waving at Anna.

Looking forward to spending time with all of you again very soon! ~Sue~
