Friday afternoon, I spent the afternoon at Camilla and Allegra's senora's house. We baked cookies and made caramel apples for the Halloween party at Nadine's house Friday night. The above picture is the poster hanging in Camilla and Allegra's room. They had no idea what it was from, but it's from the show "Tin Tin" that Amanda, Jessica, and I used to watch when we were younger. I was really excited when I saw it, but not shocked to find out that they had no clue what it was. Not many people seem to know about the show, but apparently it was a French show first.
Anyway, after a lot of baking and getting ready and figuring out the metro, we finally made it to Ciudad Expo. This is a picture of us (trying to get the beautiful fountain in the background) on the way to Nadine's house for the party.
Here's a better picture of the pretty fountain!
Here's a picture of all those that dressed up. There was a costume contest and the "grandma" won. :)
After the costume contest, we carved pumpkins. Not sure how this was my first time ever carving a pumpkin, but it was. As you can see in the picture, the pumpkins were TINY and very difficult to carve, but it was fun nonetheless. For those of you who know me, I am not artistic/creative at all, so doing this was a pretty big deal for me. Although Allegra did draw my little face on the pumpkin for me, I was able to successfully carve it out. :)
Here's a picture of Allegra's, mine, and Camilla's pumpkin (in that order).
And here we are with our cute little pumpkins!
All in all, it was a great night with awesome friends, great food (brownies, pizza, enchiladas, candy, cookies, chips, etc.), and exciting activities! It was nice to do something a little different and to have a little taste of home at the same time. :)
