Mr. Noodle

I love our town. It reminds me so much of the town I grew up in. Cute little downtown with unique shops and boutiques. Farmer's Market every Wednesday and Saturday. Just minutes from the beach. Small enough to run into people you know. A place where "college-town" meets "family-friendly". A perfect place to raise your kids.

It's definitely what gets me through those tough mid-west winters sometimes.
That's for sure. 


Every Thursday night {during the summer} is Street Performers Night!

It's basically an outdoor talent show featuring a variety of live performances throughout downtown. They close off the street for easy walking and performers litter the sidewalks in every nook and cranny.
Singers
Hip-hop dancers
Juggling acts
Belly-dancers
Magicians

and Kensie's favorite.....



Mr. Noodle

Well, that's what we call him anyway.


Big shoes. Red nose. A hat full of tricks. Silly suspenders and white gloves. The quintessential clown.


He never says a word but, has the ability to capture an audience {especially kids}.
What a fun and rewarding gift he has!

Unfortunately, he wasn't there last night. We walked up and down the street while Kensie repeated, "Noonle...Noonle...Noonle".

Even the "juggling-fire-while-riding-a-unicycle" act didn't impress her.

Let's hope Mr. Noodle is there next week, or I'm gonna have some serious explaining to do.

  1. Yeh, where was he?? Geesh, doesn't he know we look for him every week?!? :) Elijah was delightfully distracted by the Gentex balloons making a reappearance, and the break dancers nearby =)
