Summer Play(s)

We used to love summer theater at the Red Barn Theater near our home in Indiana. We tried keeping our season tickets for a few summers of the Indiana/Ohio commuter years but it became too hard to work 4 plays into the limited weekends.

Today we had the chance to enjoy good summer theater again. We saw "Cheaper by the Dozen" on the Showboat Magestic, the only remaining original showboat on the Ohio even though it is now permanently docked on the Cincinnati side of the river.

Before the show we walked along the riverwalk in Covington. Kevin shared a bench with a lifesized statue of James Bradley and we watched the Belle of Cincinnati, the Mark Twain and the Duckboats cruise the river.

Kev made plans to take Josh for a ride on the Duckboats. I'm not sure if the big draw is the chance to ride in something that drives down the street and straight into the water with a huge splash or the duck call whistle each rider gets to take home.

Kevin is still experiencing a lot of neuropathy in his feet and hands so walking far is out of the question. The riverwalk was perfect for us--a nice level walk with benches that invite sitting and watching the view of the river and Cincinnati skyline.

It was a perfect day for a little summer play.
