Anniversary, rollerblading, zoo, gardens and soccer

Mike and I had a wonderful anniversary. He suprised me with dinner at The Melting Pot and then we went to Pirates of the Caribbean 3. It was very fun. Here is a picture from just before dinner.

Here are the flowers that Mike gave me. I love how bright they are!

Amanda and I went rollerblading this week for a couple hours. It was fun hanging out at Lincoln Park and taking pictures.

Here is a pretty tunnel we went through. It looked like a castle.

Here is the top of said tunnel. It was really just a goofy castle-looking place but was still fun

We went to the Chicago Zoo but none of my pictures looked very good. I have a couple videos but they won't be posted. :)

After the zoo we went to a botanical garden-since we had never been there. This creature welcomed us:

This place wasn't too great but here is one pretty flower that I saw.

Amanda and I then had dinner at Chipotle and I went home and slept. I was worn out from skating all evening. I think that our adventure was about 4 hours total...

Now to my plans last night. I saw signs around Moody that said soccer would be played at 7:30pm so I went. I haven't played played outdoor soccer in a few ears and indoor in about 9 months so I thought that I was pretty out of shape... I actually played very well.

There were 4 girls and 6 guys playing and it was very fun. It started out pretty warm and then poured and poured. Lightning was alittle scary but it wasn't too close.

It would get to the point where you couldn't even see because of the rain and then it would let up for a little while. We were all soaking wet and muddy. So fun.

I now have blisters on the bottoms of my feet. I'm tempted to play again tonite but think that I will wait until next time. It was so fun.
