Saturday morning, Oliver and I walked up to Laura Bee to check out the new scarves they had in. If you know me, you know that I LOVE scarves. I used a coupon and some birthday money and picked up two. Tim then came home and we drove up to The Farm in Snohomish for some quick pictures at the pumpkin patch. Now I have not been to a pumpkin patch in over 10 years, but I do not remember them ever being this busy! There must have been at least a thousand people there. Although, beautiful day, two weeks before Halloween, um, yeah - it all adds up. Here are a few highlights:
Having Oliver here meant we didn't actually do too much as there was huge lines for everything - hay ride, sweet corn, espresso, etc... so we walked through the animal area and posed with some pumpkins and called it good. Even so, we were still there for a good hour or so. This place was BIG so we did quite a bit of walking (and carrying Oliver, too).
So I'm seeing this is turing into a long post. But we had such a good weekend, I have to share it all!
We came home and got ready to go out. Oliver's grandpa Carl and Jana volunteered to watch the little man so Tim and I could go out for a few adult drinkies for my 30th birthday. I'm not sure who had more fun, but when we came back, Oliver looked pretty darn content hanging with them! Thanks again, Dad and Jana for babysitting! While they did that, we went to The Copper Gate, which was just a few blocks from our place. It used to be a dive bar, but as with most things in Ballard, it got redone and cleaned up. Inside now is a bar shaped like a viking ship. It has cool benches and awesome decor. They also have delicious cocktails and nummy food. I'll only share one of me towards the end of the night:
Yeah. Need I say more? I had a lot of fun.
Sunday we met up with my friend Heather Trimm and went to the Arboreteum for some family photos. Her baby shower gift to me was a family photo shoot, and we finally got some decent weather to do it! I will share here once she has them ready. I am super stoked to see how they turned out!
We came home, Tim and Oliver took a little nap and then we headed to my mom's for dinner to celebrate my birthday and my sister-in-law's who birthday is tomorrow. Oliver got lots of love from everyone.
::whew:: okay so that was our weekend in a nutshell. Lastly I will share a quick video of Oliver not doing a whole lot. I experimented with some new features here. The quality is not as good - sorry in advance!
