Since we stayed up good and late the night before, we got a bit of a slow start on Friday. Eventually we got ourselves cleaned up and set out for a tour of Sycamore - the town that B and I hope to move to when we get back to IL! Some of the old houses there are just gorgeous. I wish we could move into one of those! But I suspect they are pretty far out of our price range. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't incredibly cooperative, so we couldn't really get out and walk around, but I still enjoyed what we got to see. :)
On our way back to C&B's house, we made a stop at her neighborhood meat market. They have the most amazing selection of seasoned chicken! I picked out some lemon rosemary chicken and it was melt in your mouth delicious! Cathy also picked up the brisket for the next day's dinner. Can I just say holy crap? They smallest cut they could make was SEVEN POUNDS! The woman came out cradling it in her arms! Cathy wasn't quite sure what to make of it - we were both so surprised at the size of it! We only needed 3 pounds! Anywho, I was also thrilled to find my favorite cider there - Blackthorn Dry. Mmmm....I used to drink this all the time in England! I think I also made the wine/beer/cider guy's day in my exuberance over finding this tasty delight! I think he appreciated my sentiments towards this cider.
Dinner was super yummy and Caiden got to join us at the table like a big kid. I got one of those portable strap in booster seats (in place of hauling around the high chair) and set him up at the table. He looked like an old pro sitting at the table!
But by far my favorite moment of the whole night was Caiden learning yet another new word. I just about fell out of my chair over how cute he sounds. And very fortunately, I was able to catch it on video!
