What a busy week!
Wednesday morning we met with the Waldorf playgroup, LOTS of kids this week. Then wednesday night I met Jessica to go out for dinner and was treated to a surprise baby shower! Thanks so much to all my TC friends, it was so much fun and meant a lot to me.
Thursday morning Alex and I met some friends and went exploring along the Boardman river downtown. The kids got to feed the ducks and scavenge around for some neat stones, sticks and plants.
Friday we ran a few errands and then had an appt friday afternoon to get our carseat installations checked out at one of the local fire stations. There were two car seat safety technicians there and then the fire chief who also checks seats. While the other two techs checked out our seats Chief Jim took Alex on his very own private tour! He was very excited. He got to sit in one of the trucks and help them wash their trucks.....he didn't want to leave when we were done!
Friday night Ben and Alex went to check out a Traverse City Beach Bums game. (I didn't think I could sit on stadium seats that long so I stayed home) Alex loved it! Ben said he made friends with everyone in their section. He liked watching the game but he LOVED their team mascots - SunBurn and SunTan (a red bear and a brown bear). Someone from their section caught a t-shirt during one of the between inning contests and gave it to Alex so now he has a t-shirt w/ SunTan on it.
I will upload some pictures from the game tomorrow. Ben has the camera with them right now.
This morning I ran some errands, hit the farm market and the yarn shop for some knitting assitance. Ben took Alex to the open house of a renovated tall ship . They got to tour the ship, play games and see pirates! And there were even more fireman and a truck there.
After lunch they decided to pack up and go camping for the night. There are some state forest campgrounds w/ in 15 minutes of our house that are right on the Boardman River.

So here I sit in a very quiet house!
