Garden Court Cafe+An Historic Park

Hi Guys,

This morning I went to Garden Court Cafe, which we have now visited and enjoyed 3-4 times. We left at about 7:55 A.M. for breakfast and arrived at the small cafe in about an hour. They serve everything from omelets to hash browns, and my personal favorite, a Belgian waffle towering with fresh fruit. Here’s a picture from a previous visit of my mom’s bagel and lox.

Below, we’re outside the cafe waiting for a seat. We had to wait what seemed like 1 hour to get our food.

But, when the food came…. It was AWESOME!!! It was the most delicious breakfast EVER.

After that my mom had the brilliant (not) idea to hike in Jack London State Park.

And finally, we went to Cornerstone Gardens. Their gardens aren’t real flower gardens. Isn’t art fun?

This is me and Anna riding on balls and climbing on fake hills.

Halloween

I am writing about a wonderful Halloween experience. As most of you know, my family doesn’t eat candy, so we usually don’t go trick-or-treating. But this year my mom, my sister, and I went trick-or-treating with some of Anna’s friends.

One of her friends, Ava, dressed like a character from Wicked. In the picture, Ava is on the right, Anna is in the middle, and Maggie, another friend, is on the left.

I was really excited about collecting candy after I saw how fun it was. I had an awesome time and I definitely want to do it next year. We went to about 20 houses and all of it was very enjoyable-except when I got stuck in a thorny plant! I gave my candy to eager kids. Oh, and by the way, I didn’t dress up. Not my thing.
