Lazy Sunday

Man, what a weekend.

I get to see my friend Erica about every couple years or so, whenever she happens to be travelling across the country and decides makes a pit stop in Hamilton.  We briefly lived together in Halifax, and getting to spend a few days with her is always amazing.  This time she was on her way from BC to Quebec City, and stopped to spend some time in Hamilton.   We took Pepper out to some of the trails around Dundas for a super beautiful hike near Borer's Falls.

We also tried our hand at friendship bracelets, which Erica hadn't made since she little, and I'm not sure I ever have. I used to make a lot of those spiral-style ones, and I could make a mean gimp bracelet, but I don't think I ever attempted a full fledged friendship bracelet before. I'm only about a third of the way through and my fingers are all cramped up.



There was also apple crisp, scary movies, delicious home cooked meals, and pumpkin carving!!!

Erica's pumpkin, on the right, was supposed to be a portrait of Doug.  She had a little trouble with his beard, and as a result the entire front of his face fell out. When all hope was gone, she really turned it around with some clever toothpick use and a little ingenuity.

All in all, a really great fall weekend.  I'm looking forward to giving out Halloween candy tonight, although I have so far failed at all attempts to come up with a costume.
