Kind of a quirky little music-filled story of a charming and eccentric cast of characters who travel to New York to make it big in the world of theater and end up finding love, true friendship, real happiness, and a crazy story to tell.
This last weekend I had front row tickets to the show The Borups Take Ohio.
Kind of a quirky, fun-filled couple of days with a charming and eccentric cast of characters who travel to Ohio for a fun little sibling weekend get together and end up finding roller coasters, pizza, ear wax, and a crazy story to tell.
Oh my, what do you even say about these 3?
We had so much fun with this crazy crowd! Stephanie showed up Thursday, Steve and Greg joined Friday evening, and it was all laughs, smiles, and fun for the entire 5 days they were here. Our house felt so quiet and empty when they left.
Before the boys got there, we took Steph downtown to check out the Scioto Mile, try some Indian food at North Market, and satisfy that sweet tooth with some Jeni's ice cream (Naturally. Is there anywhere else?). I opted out of the morning jog through the metro park. I hate to intrude on some good brother/sister bonding time.
Oh, and also, I hate to run.
But they had a good time with that. Those parks are so pretty.
We also hit up Dewey's pizza one night for dinner.
Steve and Greg got in late Friday night, but that didn't hold anyone back from some action-packed, fun-filled Saturday plans. Those crazy Borups all got up nice and early in the morning, and the four of them hit the road, bound for Sandusky.
Yup, you guessed it,
Cedar Point for the win!
And a win it was! I wasn't there, so I can't say for sure. But there sure wasn't a disappointed face to be found in the crowd when they all came dragging back in late Saturday night.
Annddddd... I think the pictures speak for themselves.
And what were the girls and I doing all day Saturday while the Borup Party Train ran all over Cedar Point?
Well you know we weren't sitting around bored. My two best pals and I went out and about for the day to do a little of what we do best. We added another line on our fun-filled "firsts" list.
It was a beautifully warm, nice fall day. In fact, it felt a lot like an apple-picking, corn-tossing, play at the park kind of day. So that's exactly what we did! The girls loved apple picking. That's a first for us that may just need to become a fall tradition. And the new metro park playground we found might also deserve another visit or two. They were in heaven!
Cedar Point may be awesome, but by FAR, the highlight of the whole 5 days was when Steph pulled out the ear wax removal squirt bottle she had brought along with her, and we all watched Tim clean disgustingly large globs of ear wax out of her and Greg's ears.
Now here is a standard of entertainment to aspire to.
No better time has ever been had by anyone, ever!
I mean it when I say, the Borups know how to have a good time.
(*Note From the Author: Though I considered omitting evidence of this particular part of the visit ever taking place, for the sake of keeping this record historically accurate and complete, I decided to take the sarcastic approach and include it after all. Let the record show however that this was NOT actually the highlight of the trip, ear wax is NOT a necessary part of real fun, the Borups DO in fact know how to have a really good (and very normal) time, and this is NOT indicative of the type of entertainment that typically comes about during family get-togethers!
Lest you all think we're a bunch of crazy weirdos...)
Jokes aside though, this family really does have the cream of the crop.
Tim had to go back to work early Monday morning, so I had these three all to myself for a few hours before flights were ready to leave. They're just fun! You couldn't ask for a more awesome group of people to call family.
Tim is so lucky and SO very blessed to have them as siblings.
And I am so lucky, and so SO very blessed to have them now too! :)
Come back soon!
PS: Yes, we did sneak in another trip to Dewey's for more pizza, because yes, it is that good!
