Today was the perfect day to go and pick apples.  I’ve been meaning to go for the last few weekends, but something has always come up.  I asked Braeden to come with us, but of course he said “no”.  I guess he is at that age where it is “uncool” to hang out with your family.

The drive to the Arlington Orchard was spectacular.  The leaves were absolutely beautiful.  It was a little chilly, but not too bad.  The girls really enjoyed themselves.  Once we were done picking, we went for a hayride through the orchard.   Because it was just us girls, I had Grace take a couple of pics of me.  She’s pretty good with the camera and will be very happy when she opens her gift from Santa this year.

It all began with a show on Much Music entitled “Pussycat dolls presents…Girlicious”.  The group was created by the Pussycat Dolls creater Robin Antin.  I watched the show on Much Music and fell in love with them.   I don’t know if I am desperately trying to hang onto my youth, but I love all the new hip hop music and when I heard Girlicious was coming to Charlottetown, there was no way I was going to miss them.  So two friends of mine and I decided to go.  It’s funny because when we were buying the tickets, Sharon and I were discussing getting reserved seats or standing on the floor.  We both agreed we needed seat tickets because we figured our backs would bother us if we stood for 2 hrs.  The young girl at the ticket booth replied…”are these tickets for you?”.  I guess she thought we were old too!

Before heading to the concert, we went out to eat at the Olde Dublin Pub.   I love Irish Pubs and anywhere I go, I remember the good ones.  If you are ever in Kentville, N.S go to Paddy’s Pub.  The food is excellent!

After a delicious meal or nachos, crispy chicken wraps and steak, we headed on over to the civic centre.  I think we were amoung the oldest concert goers there.  But that didn’t matter to me.  Once the music began, we were down on the floor.  I was only 3 or 4 rows back, so I got to see the girls up close.  They were great and it was amazing to see them live.  All in all, it was a great night and I’m glad I went.  Now if I can just see Rihanna in concert, I will be one happy girlie!!

a friend of mine had her son’s pic taken with the girls.
