year, lol. Could i have packed in ANYmore? lol

From 12-2 we went to her school thing, called "Touch a truck". Just basically lots of trucks they coudl go in (police command center, fire truck, garbage truck, back ho, etc). They had a penny raffle & GUESS WHO WON the $200+ prize? US! Tx to "Cirque Dreams - Jungle Fantasy", a cirque de sole' show on stage! WHOO HOO! http://www.ppacri.org/show_database/Cirque/cirque.cfm

Then we went up to the city & went to Build-a-Bear ... $64 later, ugh. But it was with some $ from her Grampa that died & thats what she wanted to get with the $$$.

Then we saw a matinee movie.

Then ate at Dave & Busters (BIG arcade .. ugh, $$$ again!). We went to the "prize store" with 380 "points" to spend ... & some woman handed Averey a 1200 Point card! She was able to get this big old stuffed dog she wanted. She was SO thrilled! How nice was THAT???

& Then ... we went to this Jack-o-lantern thing at a stadium with 5000 incredibly carved pumpkins (it was GREAT!)

.... oh, & then? Cheesecake factory cheescake for dessert!


eta: & actually, on Sat we travelled back to my home, 2 hrs away, to attend a Halloween party at my Dads country club for the kids. My 8 mo old nephew was a SHARK, & Averey was the FISHERMAN!
