One of the gyms up the road in Concord holds 'Open Gym' hours, which we sometimes go to when it's on the MOMS Club calendar. We decided to go on a Saturday morning and bring Aaron so he could see how much Charlie loves to run down the long trampoline and play with the hula hoops. We didn't take any photos this day, but it was a good start to a family weekend.

After Open Gym, we headed down to the Halloween Open House at Nini Bambini, where we go to weekly music classes. Charlie was a bit confused as to why we were there, with lots of goodies and snacks and more toys out than usual - and even went to sit in "our spot" and wait for class to start. Haha.
Aaron got to see where we spend our Tuesday mornings every week and Charlie had fun playing with all the great toys (though she was scared of the interactive dinosaur!)
Here she is playing with the play kitchen, which she does every time ... she will be very happy to see one of these in our living room on Christmas!
Nina pulled out the bubbles just for Charlie - she loves this part of class.
This was the start of a lollipop addiction. I keep a couple in my bag at all times - hey, whatever keeps her from standing up in shopping carts!!

On Sunday, we decided to go get some hot apple cider donuts at a place Aaron had heard about. They were SO good. Charlie enjoyed running around the little country store (inside and out!) and seeing the donuts come fresh off the line.
We got a 1/2 dozen and before we even left the lot, were down to one donut, so Aaron went in to get more!

When we lived back in Syracuse, there was a Hibachi Steakhouse that we went to ALL of the time with our friends. We always try to recreate their rice at home but nothing compares. There is one up the road in Concord (same name as the one in Syracuse!) that we decided to try it out ... with Charlie. She loved the huge salt water fish tank that was there when we walked in and did really well throughout the meal. She loved the entertainment, got a little freaked out with the huge flames, but always enjoys fried rice.
They gave her some kiddie chopsticks, with the rubber bands, and she liked these. We were very surprised that when the food was put in front of her, she was trying to use them, correctly, to eat her rice and chicken! WE were using forks, so she wasn't imitating us! She surprises us often.
