10-24 Alex's party pic's

My little guy is 7 as of 10-23. I can not believe it. Alex (I think) had a nice birthday. Friday he got to go out to dinner and open a couple of gifts. Sat. morning before Dad went to work Alex opened his gifts from Mom and Dad. Sat afternoon was a party for some of his friends. We had it at a place that has an indoor play area. It has climbing things that are 3 stories tall. The kids had a blast. Alex wanted a construction cake this year. I did the best I could. He was concerned that he would not get his trucks and men back. But he did.




Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday Dear Alex....

Yes he blew out the candles in one try.



The kids took a break from playing to have pizza, cake and ice cream.

10-18 Trip to the cider mill

It was such a nice day and who know how many more we will get. So after church Grandpa, Alex and I headed to the local orchard. We walked thru a corn maze, picked some apples and even a pumkin. Alex had fun getting the apples. We also could no leave withou getting a fresh donut and apple cider. It brought back fond memories of when I was little and we would all get packed up and head to the cider mill. Now Alex wants me to make apple sause like his Aunt Chris does.

10-16 Road Construction

Alex is in his glory!!! They are working on Michigan Ave. So now he gets to see the big equipment right from his front yard.

This is the machine that grinds up the old asphalt and spits it into the truck in front.
