birthday month fun - part 3

can you guess what other fun was had for the birthday month...

well, let me just tell you
we loaded up guzzy with a bunch of friends
(luckily we met most of the people in a parking lot across the street from where we were headed)

and headed out to the drive-in

with everyone else and their red balloons
(this is the line down the driveway and along the highway waiting to get in)

to see IT

and the beauty of taking guzzy
is that it's perfect to put the littles in that would be too scared
iPad with downloaded, kid friendly, netflix movies and noise canceling headphones
did the trick!
plus there's a bed - which is perfect for tired tweens  :)

and who doesn't love dq ice cream cake?!?!
we had TWO - and frito lays for days!!!

birthday month fun - part 2

part 2 of the birthday month fun involved...
you guessed it...
pats season opener!!!

and you know what happens at a season opener
when you're the reigning super bowl champs???
you get a flo rida concert

and you get celebrity sightings like
this wrestling guy (i think)

and mark wahlberg

and they unveil the new banner

and rub it in everyone's face

and way overdo the fireworks

and hand out a lot of gifts

and a crap ton of people show up

besides attending the game
we also took guzzy with us and camped at a nearby campground
and did some pregame tailgating

as well as postgame tailgating

i definitely enjoy attending the pats games
but my heart still belongs to my cowboys
and hopefully we'll make it to a game this year
but not for this birthday month
and btw...the pats cheerleaders
aren't even close in comparison to the dallas cowboy cheerleaders!  :)

this was a mixture of cell phone pics and "real camera" pics
yes, i braved the crowd and took my "real" camera into the game
it was fun for once but don't think i'll do it again  lol

labor day weekend we headed up north
to a friends camp
on the penobscot river

where we enjoyed hanging with friends
making halloween plans by the fire
staying up way too late
trying to get the dvd player to work
without a remote
so we could watch a scary movie
pregaming for birthday month fun part 3
and enjoying the great outdoors

what was quite surprising was finding some leaves that are already changing
which i hope slows down since we have a lot of guests
coming in october for leaf peeping
