We had quite an exciting weekend. Starting off with Aimee and Darren's new arrival Saturday morning! We are SO excited! Saturday evening we (including Kevin, Bernadette and Charlie) went up to Long Grove for Oktoberfest! It was a little chilly to hang out in the outdoor area, although we did watch a Polka Band for a bit. Charlie was fascinated by their attire I do believe. Even though Kevin REALLY wanted to watch the outdoor movie "Frankenstein", neither Bern or I were going to be able to last much longer outdoors, so we headed into the Village Tavern for a MUG of Oktoberfest. Although we did sit outside, it was at least bearable. After numerous crackers and German cheese, we decided we (and Charlie too) would probably need a real dinner. We went over to Fritzl's and everyone except Charlie and I dined on authentic German fare. I had a few bites of Bryon's sampler platter and it was good! We had a good time hanging out and laughing at Charlie being goofy. I don't think there is anyway possible he could be cuter! I don't know who can resist his face!!
Sunday we met Jaime and Dan at O'Donovan's for some pre-game brunch. YUMMY! I hadn't been there forever and it was just as good as I remember - except more expensive! After that bill we decided to go by Dieter's game day hangout. He told us they had $1.50 beers! AWESOME! What we didn't know is that it was a private "men's" club that seemed like we were in some scary basement in someone's house. Oh well, after a couple who cares! We had a good time - and HEY although they try just like every other week - the Bears DIDN'T lose!
WOO HOO!
