Fall Activities, Timmy's birthday party, and a soccer game!

This past weekend was another blur!!  We had a LOT of fun though.  On Friday night we were able to just chill at home, and we spent some time hanging out in our back porch area (the weather was sooo perfect!!) and having a few drinks and relaxing, and then we went inside and watched Hocus Pocus!!  We'll probably end up watching Hocus Pocus again before (or on) Halloween, but it is just SO good. 

On Saturday morning we went to Linvilla Orchards!  We didn't make it there last year, so it was especially awesome this year since it'd been quite a while since we'd seen it!!  We got there shortly after it opened, so it wasn't crowded at all which was amazing :)  We spent some time walking through their store areas, and then spent quite a while walking around looking at all of the pumpkins!!  They also had an area with a bunch of carved pumpkins, and some were VERY impressive!!  We picked out a few AMAZING pumpkins (I really love the ones we picked out!!), and a few gourds too because I think they're SO fun and I love that they're all so unique!

Kevin with our pumpkins and gourds! Our pumpkins have a LOT of character this year. They're kinda amazing. 

Can you see the David Bowie one to the right?  So good. 

It's Jack Nicholson from The Shining right on top!  So good. 

These were so fun!  They're outdoor fireplaces. They were too big for us (we'd have nowhere to keep them the other 11 months of the year...), but they were awesome. 

After we loaded our pumpkins into our car, we went over to the apple orchard area and wandered around and found a bunch of great apples!!  We got enough for me to make at least one pie and have some leftover for just eating :)  It was such a nice day for wandering around and apple picking!!  When we were done and ready to leave, we noticed that the pumpkin area was getting SO busy!  I'm really glad that we got there early so we didn't have to deal with those crowds! :) 

We drove back home and worked on a few house projects!  And then once evening rolled around it was time to head into the city to go to Timmy's surprise birthday party!  Our friends Anthony and Rob hosted the surprise party at their apartment in the city, and my goodness was Timmy surprised!!  His reaction was amazing. I didn't capture his surprise on camera because I was too busy enjoying it, but I got a few pictures while we were hanging out at the apartment!  After we all spent some time hanging out there, we went to a few bars!  Kevin and I left around 12:30 to head to the train station, and we ended up getting home around 2am!  My gosh we were hurting the next day.

Here's City Hall!  My favorite building in Philly. 

Some of the trees around the city are decorated with beautiful lights!  So pretty. 

Such a pretty city!  I love how it's such a mix of old buildings and modern buildings. 

Here's part of the group of people that surprised Timmy!  That's Juliff on the left, then Anthony, Ashley, me, McGee, Rob, and then Timmy is in the front! 

The next day we had a soccer game to go to though!  It was the last Philadelphia Union game of the season, and Kevin and his friend Juliff were the "Season Ticket Holders of the Match" so they got to go into the tunnel when the players were heading onto the field, and they also got to stand with the players on the field before the match and get their picture taken with the team!  I was going because I wanted to try to capture a few pictures of them on the field and with the players and stuff (plus it was such beautiful weather for a game!), but when the Union employee was introducing himself to Kevin and Juliff before the match he was like, "I'll get a wristband for your wife too!  No reason she can't join us for everything!" so I got to tag along too!  It was crazy being on the field.  I grabbed a few pictures, but I don't have a copy of the professional photo of us with the team yet. 

Our tailgating spot before the game started! 

McGee and Juliff were SO excited!! 

We're in the tunnel as the team is getting ready to go onto the field! 

A ceremony right before the match for a player that was retiring!  After this is when we got to walk to the middle of the field and have our picture taken with the team!  Then we went back to our seats. 

Such an amazing view from our seats in the stadium!  

That was our weekend!  I hope you all had a great weekend too!!  I can't believe Halloween is almost here!!  Crazy!!
