Apple picking

On Monday, September 22, we headed over to Pingle's farm to pick some apples and pick up some corn. It took us about an hour to get there, but it was worth the drive because it was a beautiful day to go apple picking!

Mommy let me wear her neon pink arm-warmers...
It matched the flowers on my dress!

Walking alongside the rows of apple trees.

beside the Royal Gala apples - these were one of 3 varieties that were ready to eat!

It wasn't just my first time seeing apple trees, it was Daddy's first time too!
We popped his cherry apple! or apple cherry?

Try before you buy!

Pick apples? I'd rather pick Ninang Joy's nose.

This is fun!

My basket full of apples!

Helping Daddy carry the apples...

Oops!
Apples overboard!

Seeing a tractor for the first time!

There was a big kids area, but we'll have to check it out when I'm bigger...

I'm driving the cool bus!

The New Kids Concert - by Mommy

Ya, ya, ya... I know this has nothing to do with "Addison's Adventures" but I how could I NOT do a post about the New Kids concert?!? It was an awesome show... the best concert ever! And a lot of you NKOTB fans will agree - it was the company, the crowd AND the kids that made it great... it made us feel like 10 year olds again!!!

So , Joey, Jordan, Donnie, Danny and Jon... I promise I won't look down in shame anymore when I say I'm a New Kids fan...
I'M OUT OF THE CLOSET...
I STILL LOVE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK!!!

Here I am with Addi dressed in the best 80's get-up I could gather at the last minute...
I even found my old fanny pack!
You can't really tell, but my hair is in a side-half ponytail held together by a neon pink scrunchie!
(I realize now that my outfit is very "Fanny Pack" ABDC inspired)
Addi will be very embarrassed of this picture when she's older.

Addi on the subway
"Oh my god, Mom... What are you wearing?!?"
mind you... a lot of people were dressed like me at the concert...

I was very jealous of the girls with crimped hair - I couldn't find my old crimper!

With our tickets...
Like kids again!

On second thought...
We kinda look like candy ravers!

Yay for T-shirts!

Yay for beer with straws!

Yay for no lines at the Men's Bathroom!
All night we counted the number of guys we saw at the concert...
A total of 6 (we didn't include workers)
6!
Forget the line ups at the women's bathrooms... we're going to the men's!

Yay for New Kids on the Block!

Yay for screaming women that are my age!
Yay for feeling like we're 10 again!
Yay for peace signs!

Yay for squinting to see our boys!

Yay for the pink scrunchie!
Yay for the Best Concert EVER!

Yay for funny security guards to take our picture!

Breakfast at Jesse Jr.

On Sunday Morning, we met up with Uncle Francis, Ninang Trae and Ate Sey for filipino breakfast at Jesse Jr. My only complaint was they ran out of garlic fried rice!

Lola and Ate Seyla fed me lots of food. I couldn't say no!

The twins!

I was able to watch TFC while eating breakfast!

After breakfast, we went to Town Centre, each group with their own motives:
Uncle Francis and Daddy had to put in their ProLine Selections before noon.
Mommy and Ninang Trae had to find tacky, neon accessories for the New Kids concert.
Lola walked around with Seyla and me.

It was a quick trip because we planned to check out Manifesto at Nathan Phillips Square before Mommy and Ninangs watched the New Kids!

Jake's first birthday party

On Saturday, we crashed Jacob's first birthday party. It was such an awesome party! It was carnival themed, so there were lots of carnival games and carny snacks like candy apples and popcorn!

I had fun with my Aunties and Ate Seyla - we asked her on Sunday (the next day) what the best part of the party was and she said "Playing with Addi" (awwwwwwwwww!)
