Oktoberfest, and October so far!

Hey guys!  This post should catch up everything I need to post right now!  Whew!  So, at the end of September we invited a bunch of friends to a brewery right near our house that was having an Oktoberfest party!  And after the Oktoberfest, everyone came back to our house for some food and more drinks!  It was a super fun day, and we were soooo exhausted the next day! 

Here's most of our group!  I am not in this picture because I'd just gone to the bathroom!  Dang it!  A few other people were missing too because they were in line for food/drinks. 

Here's Kevin's sister Mo, me, and Kevin! And you can see my haircut!  I donated 12" of my hair to Wigs for Kids at the beginning of September!  They take 12" minimum, so it was a big cut! 

Here's me and Kevin holding the hammer of Philly Beer Week!  It was SUPER heavy! 

  

Here's Timmy and the fun hat we bought him for his birthday (which was just a few days before the Oktoberfest).  We decorated the side with some birthday stickers, but you can't see it from this angle.

Next I thought I'd just share some photos from around our neighborhood!  It's starting to look a little bit Fall-y (nothing major yet), and we're definitely seeing a TON of deer wandering around our neighborhood in the mornings and evenings! 

There's some leaves on the street!  The trees aren't looking super Fall-y yet though. 

Four deer in our backyard! This is the view from our bedroom. 

Two weekends ago we had a BUSY weekend and we knew we were going to be gone for a large portion of both days, so we made sure to exercise Guinness in the morning so he'd just sleep all day while we were gone!  On Saturday we took him to Valley Forge to hike around, and he had a GREAT time! 

After we got home from Valley Forge, it was time to get ready to head into the city to go see HAMILTON!!!  Oh my gosh, it was beyond amazing.  One of the best things I've ever watched in my entire life - SERIOUSLY.  I loved it so much, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it! 

 

That evening after Hamilton, we met up with Kevin's family in the city to celebrate his cousin's birthday!  We went to this amazing Moroccan restaurant called Figs, and it was DELICIOUS.  It was phenomenal food, and such a cute little restaurant.  

The next day (Sunday), we met up with our friends Michael and Jen for a Union soccer game!  It was the last Union game of the regular season (they made the playoffs though!!), and it was super fun.  The mascot was wandering around, so we had to get our pictures taken with it! 

Kevin and Jen and Michael! 

The beautiful view from the stadium. 

A cool Union sign that's in the area we usually hang out. 

The game! 

Kevin and Phang are having a serious discussion about the game. 

Me and Jen and Phang!  Phang is supposed to be a snake, but he has arms and legs... so... it's confusing.

That's our October so far!  I need to take some pictures of our Halloween decorations, and also do a Fall bucket list update soon!  I think I'm doing pretty good with it.  We also planned a very last-minute trip to Ohio and upstate New York, so I'll be sure to take some pictures when we go there!  I'm hoping the leaves will be AMAZING while we're there (so get ready for just like a dozen pictures of trees).  We have lots of fun plans, and we're going to be able to cross another National Park off of our list (Cuyahoga Valley National Park).  

I hope everything is going great for you guys, and that you're enjoying your Fall so far!!
