A long weekend around the (somewhat) peak fall colour time .. three days, three different day trips. How cool was that? 
So here's part one of three.
We started the day early on Saturday and drove to Kitchener & Waterloo area for their annual Oktoberfest. There was free pancake/sausage breakfast (YUMM!!), live music (and some people dancing) and a barrel race.
The weather was gorgeous .. it was a little cooler in the morning, but it gets warmer during the day. It was very nice when we were strolling little J along the main street of St. Jacobs village and their farmers market.
They have this LEGO store in the outlet mall (right next to the farmers market) .. check out this life size Batman made from Lego bricks .. VERY COOL!! I love LEGO! ;D
After that, my friend gave us a little tour of the University of Waterloo (his alma mater) before dinner at Ali Baba steakhouse. Have you ever noticed that all university has that same distinct smell? Maybe it's the smell of “stress” (to pass exams, to graduate) .. hmmm …
Little J was behaving great until pretty much after we had dinner. Hmm .. it could be the mashed potato her parents gave her .. she had a very interesting face the first time she tried that mashed potato. A face that said “Yeech, what kind of food is this, mom/dad? Um, but I want more .. yeecch! Ugh, gimme some more!” (she did eat quite a bit of the mashed potato). LOL!
She was okay again when we got back to their place .. maybe she just wanted to crawl around and play after the whole day strapped in either the stroller, the car seat or a high chair. She's one cute little baby!
