Brewers' game one of the NLCS... and Ben and I were there! Ben has always wanted season tickets to the games, so this year we did it. 20 ticket pack, and then we got the chance to buy 4 NLCS home game tickets.
So we were there for the win game one.... and there for the embarrassing loss game two. But hey, baseball in October with AMAZING weather?! I'll take it.

This last weekend, Jessica and I did some exploring of the downtown lakefront area. We went out onto the breakwaters walkway and hung out for a bit. Again, the weather was absolutely gorgeous, and the lake breeze was heavenly. Not to mention the colorful leaves up and down the lake shore and the freaking sweet view of the Milwaukee skyline. This is also when I figured out I could take cell phone pictures and then text them to my "online album" to retrieve them later. My pictures are no longer destined to die alone, forgotten on my phone! (Not the best pictures.... but they are pictures.)-----------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday was a date day at the zoo!
I love the zoo. Since it was a Wednesday afternoon, the only people there were stay at home moms driving strollers like they were tanks in the middle of a war zone, and overweight grandparents huffing and puffing as they tried to catch up with the respective youngster they were in charge of for the afternoon. "Grandma needs you to slow down, Billy" was as commonplace as candles on a birthday cake.
A lot of the attractions (LIKE THE PETTING ZOO!!!!) had shut down at the end of the summer. Obviously, I had desperately wanted to pet the cute little goats and run from the ugly ones, but I wasn't given that opportunity since it was already the middle of October. So I had to settle for checking out the elephants and the giraffes, and mentally adding "ride an elephant and have it give me a hug with its trunk" to my to do list. Then I watched the big cats do things that Paris and Nicole do on a much smaller scale... like sleep.
The whole fish aquarium thing was pretty cool too.... until Ben told me his plans for getting a LARGER tank. I gently reminded him that he must be crazy, because we already have a 60 gallon tank in the middle of our living room.
The cutest thing we saw was the baby lions that had recently been born. When we finally figured out where the big cats were, the mom was laying on her back with her feet in the air. Two babies were passed out next to her on the ground, and one little stinker of a baby lion was sleeping on a rock ledge nearby. Cute. I wish they would have been playing with each other and entertaining me in the process, but the whole cute sleeping thing worked, too.
And today it's raining... and kinda chilly. I guess the whole never ending summer thing just ended. Bummer
xoxo, b
