Fall is finally here and it feels oh so good! Thursday night, some coworkers and I went to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens for "Fest of Ale" and Scarecrows in the Gardens. We had a girls' night out that included a special guest - our friend Sara's little girl Miriam... who was dressed in her ballet outfit, complete with mini tutu!Our friend David Stephens, who is also a guest artist puppeteer at the Center, has an awesome banjo band called "Banjolicious" and he is the entertainment at the Gardens every Thursday night. We had a great time dancing to his music in the midst of lots of beautiful scarecrows. The highlight of the evening was getting to witness Miriam's incredible dance moves! She was such a sight... I think all the little kids there secretly wanted to dance with her. When they left last night, she told Sara that it was "the best day ever!" How cute!
I have also started playing in a Bunko group one Thursday a month - and it's much more fun than I would ever have thought! For those who aren't familiar, Bunko is a dice game that is played in groups of 4 people and everyone switches tables for each round... it's totally a game of luck and I've discovered there's really no way to have any sort of skill at this. It's a really fun way to meet new people (all girls, of course!) and just have a fun night with friends. We've gotten into having themes each month, and obviously October was a great opportunity for our hostesses to pull out all of their spooky Halloween decorations, including two "dead" guests at one of the Bunko tables. We also got to celebrate our good buddy's 27th birthday. Happy bday, Karen!
And happy fall to you all!
