No Way!!!!! The flying Wallendas?? They are still around??  That would be way too cool to miss. That and the blueberry spitting contest. I didn't know they had a contest for spitting blueberries. Might as well get out and enjoy the tail end of summer.

Isn't it too cool Malcolm?  I didn't know they were still around either.  Apparently they are grandchildren of Kurt Wallenda (see the Flying Wallendas.)

Who could pass up a blueberry spitting contest?  The hardest part is that no one wants to spit them out since they taste sooooo good.

You know, we actually haven't stopped in Camden yet.  We'll have to add that to our list.
