On November 16, 2 groups of us went to the Recreation Center at Kent State University to climb rocks!
It was a wonderful experience for the students, from beginners to more experienced climbers. A few of our parents also joined in the race to the top of the wall. Of course, there was no race, but each climber came away with a satisfied feeling of accomplishment.
The staff members were extremely accommodating and helpful with the kids. They were patient with new climbers and very encouraging. Our children were truly reaching new heights in this experience. It was a great way to learn a new sport and step out of our normal comfort zone.
Even planning this trip was a good experience. Communication with the staff was a breeze and they were willing to accommodate whatever our group needed. During the climbing session, they opened a gym across the hall and set out some balls for our little ones to play with. The personal attention was greatly appreciated.
Normal climbing times are available, but renting out the wall is a worthwhile endeavor for anyone who would like to take a group. I plan to return in the spring sometime, since we had such a good response.

Snow White at North Canton Playhouse
On October 31, a group of us went to see the North Canton Playhouse's performance of Snow White.
It was a wonderful performance played out by only 3 actors in several roles. A usual performance at North Canton Playhouse's daytime shows is quite crowded, but this particular performance had a pleasantly small audience. We were able to sit very near the front of the auditorium. The performers played their roles with enthusiasm and definitely seemed to enjoy themselves. True to a typical N. Canton Playhouse performance, the play was not restricted to the boundaries of the stage. We found ourselves as members of the cast, portraying parts of nature and a few children were chosen from the audience to be dwarves on stage.
After the performance, the children were invited to meet the cast and have photos taken with them.
It was very exciting and fun! Our kids had a great time, which is what I've come to expect from the North Canton Playhouse. A quality, fun and worthwhile trip.
The cost for tickets was $3.00 per seat, no matter the age, but all ages are welcome to attend. My little one enjoys herself as well as the older children.
