Chagrin Falls Library & Hike

Aunt Laurie (aka Children's Librarian at Chagrin Falls Branch) tipped us off that the Cuyahoga County Public Libraries were sponsoring a Super Smash Bros game tournament. So we signed Roger and Alan up for the competition. And after Laurie finished her shift at work, she and Rudy treated us to dinner at their home.







There were around a dozen kids there, but only 6 of them actually competed.




Practicing was just as much fun as competing. Several kids, including Alan, chose not to compete when they found out they couldn't use their own controllers for the tournament. But the GameCube controllers were perfectly fine for practice.
























No, Roger didn't win, but I think he enjoyed the chance to play with other teens.




After the tournament, we checked out the falls. The library is beautifully situated right by the Chagrin River which flows right through the town. This is the Upper Falls.



















The Chagrin River flows under a bridge in the heart of the very Quaint town of Chagrin Falls, and then drops again in another waterfall.



















Leaving Chagrin Falls, we meandered over to the Chagrin Reservation, part of the park system, and took a hike to Squaw Rock.
