And Then There's American Apparel

It has begun!  The weekend fun is underway! We went to the Fall festival in Atwater Village this afternoon.  It was fun to see all the little kids dressed up in their costumes.  I was pleased to see that there were a few vendors who were giving out items other than candy.  Logan picked up a couple stickers, a toy spider, and a banana! He received many compliments on his costume.  While I think he would have enjoyed watching the magician at the Library, it was packed and because we didn't get there prior to the 'show' beginning, it was too crowded to get a good look.  We watched for a minute and then moved on.  The whole family enjoyed this outing!  As if we didn't have enough on the agenda this weekend, we decided to add a trip to the American Apparel factory.

We went downtown to check out the American Apparel Flea Market.  We went last Saturday but the line was WAY too long to stand in and wait.  Long lines are painful enough with the baby, add my husband to the mix and its a recipe for disaster! So we gave it another shot this evening.  There was no line and I was able to get the rest of my Halloween costume taken care of.  My husband picked up a bunch of shirts.  Had it not been close to the baby's bed time, we probably would have taken more time to check stuff out, but we gave it a quick go around and got what we needed.  The flea market is at their factory downtown.  You can catch a glimpse of how they operate, listen to some dj'd music and even get a bite to eat.  There is still time to check it out.  The market is open until the 31st.
