Lil Sis and I went to the zoo on Friday night. I wore my beret, which got mixed reviews. Lil Sis loved it, Sarah approved it, but Pete and Nancy said it looks stupid.
DinoNites was awesome. There was so much stuff to do, we didn't have time for it all. We started off by riding the Tram of Terror, which was hilarious, but there were a few scary moments as well. It was very well done, and a nice long ride.
Then we went on the haunted carousel. We pretended to be scared:
We decorated delicious sugar cookies
and carved pumpkins. Lil Sis has never carved a pumpkin before, can you believe it? She loved it.
We went through the corn maze, and all of a sudden, it was almost 10:00 and time to go. We didn't even get to the dinosaur stuff, or see any animals. We'll have to go back next year.
We ended the evening by watching It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown at my place. It was the perfect fall night.
Other random weekend stuff:
Nancy and I had brunch at 11 City Diner yesterday, and they had the best mimosas ever. The fresh-squeezed orange juice makes a huge difference.
Sarah came over last night and we watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Such a funny movie.
Today I attempted to go for a bike ride on the lakefront. I only made it as far as State St before my pedals stopped working. I'm so over bike riding, at least for this season.
Sarah and I went to Bleeding Heart Bakery today, which I've been wanting to try for a while. I got a red velvet cupcake for today, and for tomorrow I got me and Ryan spiced apple cupcakes- spice cake, brown sugar frosting, and sauteed apples on top. The red velvet was great, so I can't wait to try the other one. This bakery was filled with so many amazing things I couldn't stand it. I want to go there every day. Good thing it's all the way up in Roscoe Village.
