Fall Fest at the Westwood Nature Center

Last Saturday evening, Nana Chris got us all tickets to the fall festival at the nature center adjacent to their house. We had a lovely evening. Unfortunately, Dr. Nana Chris couldn't join us for the hoopla. She was on call and needed to stay closer to her car.

Photo above is before leaving for the event. We parked at the nearby junior high. Much to the delight of one elephant and one giraffe, we rode a SCHOOL BUS to the nature center.

In other weekend news - Mark and I have had TWO Twinner Free nights over the past TWO weekends. Auntie Kelly recently took the kids for an overnight. We called the Lyon's VERY last minute, and met up at Crave in St. Louis Park. It was the Grand Opening, so just for a moment, we might have been quite the hipsters. Crave was just written about in the Star Tribune last Sunday.

Last Friday, Anna and her sister Mary (our neighbor girl's down the street) came and babysat so we could enjoy a Birthday Dinner for Brett at Manny's. Great steak, great drinks, and great people watching.
