Girl's Weekend

Sunday, September 21, 2008

Matt is at a Por*sche autocross race in Massachusetts this weekend so Chloe and I are spending a Mommy/Daughter weekend together.

Friday I took Chloe to the Bro*nx Zoo. This is one of her favorite places to visit. We have a membership so it costs very little to go to the zoo--we get free parking and free entry to all the exhibits. I learned today that going to the zoo on a school day is definitely the time to visit. We had free reign of the zoo and zipped through all the exhibits. It was fantastic.

I must admit though that I spent more time people watching among the few people at the zoo. Fall has arrived and today was the first day that the mercury did not rise above 70. I loved seeing all the people in the combo summer/fall wardrobe---sweaters and flip-flops. REALLY? You brought out the sweaters but not shoes to cover your feet?

Saturday Chloe and I went apple-picking across the state line in NY. There was lots of activities for kids and Chloe went on a pony ride and got her face painted. Later that same day we went to our neighborhood block party and Chloe played all evening. She was thoroughly worn out and tired when all was said and done.

Sunday we waited for the return of Matt and planted some mums in the yard. Matt returned earlier than expected because the rent a cops at S*x Fla*gs in Massachusetts shut down the autocross with two hours remaining for no apparent reason than to shut it down. Chloe was happy to see her Daddy return.
