Saffron's Birthday, Bullwinkles, and Halloween

In just three days it is going to be Saffron's birthday! Seven years old already...

Yesterday I took Saffron and Corwin to the Bullwinkles Restaurant and Family Fun Center (they still exist!) in Edmonds for lunch and an hour of playing games. This is the second time we've gone. It's not as good as the old one in San Jose, but I wasn't really expecting it to be. On the other hand, in addition to the video games and ticket games, the also have a mini golf course, laser tag, bumper cars, bumper boats, batting cages, aerial jungle gym, bungie jumper, and possibly a couple of other games...it's pretty big! The food there, while not five star, is not actually that bad. And the staff is pretty friendly too.

Last week I finally made it out out of the house to go and do something geeky! I made a Meetup account and managed to join (and attend) a board game day at the 'Round the Table Gamer Pub in Edmonds. It was this locations second meetup, so it's still pretty small, but the Group (named Inclusive Geekery) is pretty well established so I expect it to grow. I'm signed up to attend the next one on November 4th as well.
In addition, Bobo and I played Battletech last night for the first time in months, which was quiet nice.

And lastly, Halloween is right around the corner! We've been getting our first real taste of Washington weather this week as well. Lots of rain, and some strong wind (gusts up to 60mph!).
The weather is supposed to be wet on Halloween, which will be exciting. Isabeau is hard at work on Saffron's Elsa dress


Here's Saffron is trying it on for size! Saffron decided that she wanted the coronation dress.
Corwin is going to be a Robot, and Osric is going as Buzz Lightyear.
