Well, Donald isn't really part of the family, but in Stephen's mind, all the Penguinos and other talking birds are family. This guy sang a quacky version of "Polly Wolly Doodle," and waddled. Rockam thought it was hilarious.
We stayed in a very nice suite at the Middleburg Heights Hampton. Rockam enjoyed a sink bath and some PBS kids.
We visited with Joe's childhood friends, Sam and Christy (Debelak) Neider, who have recently moved back to Cleveland. Here, Stephen hams it up with Jonah, their 4-year-old son.
We also got to gather with the extended Parrino clan at Scotti's restaurant. A nice noisy Italian dinner with our nice noisy Italian family :) Rockam enjoyed lots of saltines with is great-auntie Sally.
Stephen ate almost an entire calamari appetizer on his own.
He was really happy and hyper afterward.
He also enjoyed the teddybear waffles at the Hampton for breakfast.
We also visited with the Giammo side of the family, including Joe's cousin Jim... they're discussing the zero-gravity tower's foam pellet floor at NASA, where Jim works. He stopped in to our suite for a yummy Aladdin's meal on his lunchbreak.
I want to post pics from our yummy Nicaraguan dinner with my sister-in-law Cristiana and her mom and sister... but Google just told me I was exceeding my 1 GB storage limit :( Boo. Will post as soon as my purchase of more space goes through.
