DINNER, DOGS & DANCE

Well it was the weekend before Halloween and you know what that means: DINNER, DOGS & DRINK. Let me explain...

DINNER
On Friday night, we had the first (of hopefully many) SUPPER CLUBS. Basically, one day when we were hanging out with Jason & Saisha and Ali & Todd, we six decided to throw a dinner party where we choose a region of food, everyone cooks some dishes and we all dine in style. So for the kick off meeting, we chose New Orleans and let me tell you, the food was fantastic (Meatballs, Jambalaya, Fried Chicken, Chorizo and Okra Ratatouille, Yam & Apple Salad, homemade cake & donuts), as were the bevvies! The host couple (us) also has to make a signature beverage for the evening, we chose RUMRUNNERS (a mix of dark rum, creme de banane, OJ and pineapple juice) and let me tell you, they were stellar. If we can keep these up, more couples will be invited into the mix, we just wanted to see if we could pull one off, and we did! Hooray for the birth of Supper Club!

DOGS
Laverne is a proud member of CANINE CORNER doggy daycare and Michelle has come to know the staff quite well. Kathleen (the owner) knew we were into photography, so she asked Michelle, if we could come in on the weekend to take some pics of the staff dogs. Pictures? Dogs? No problemo! Michelle and I spent a couple hours playing with the pooches, talking to the staff and snapping pics all the while. Great practice for us and I can see why Laverne has so much fun there when she goes!

DANCE
Saturday night meant Halloween night and we were invited to a HALLOWEEN BOAT CRUISE by our friends Eric and Mark Rasmussen. The crew got into costume, got together and partied as the boat sailed around the city for four hours. I got a wee bit seasick but otherwise a good time was had by all! The costumes were fantastic as well. Here's what we had:

Gio - Julius Vodka Caesar
Michelle - Cosmo Cleopatra
Clint - 70's Sabotage Cop
Andrea - Futuristic Warrior
Bunting - Dean Martin from Cannonball Run
Angela - Lady Luck
Raime - African Man
Jen - Construction Worker
Ferraro - Dead Sumbarine Captain
Andy - Peter Griffen from Family Guy
Eric - Pirate
Mark - Sailor

It was a great way to spend Halloween and great to see all our friends in costume. You can check out pics of the weekend HERE!!!
