Big Boy Bed

Alex has graduated out of the toddler bed and into a real big boy bed. He loves it! Of course it is decked out in Toy Story sheets, so we stacked the deck a bit. Now the next project will be wall paper removal and new paint.

Day Trip to Michigan

We had a fun adventure traveling to Michigan today. Our friends Dan and Reva gave us a heads up about a Harvest Festival at an orchard in Union Pier. We made a day of it and spent about an hour hiking in Warren Woods State Park, made a quick stop in Sawyer (where Alex saw the tallest scarecrow I've ever seen -- it was about two stories high and had two pumpkin heads), and then headed to the festival. The festival had apple pizza, apple pie, and homemade ice cream. We had a tractor ride, picked apples and pears, and listened to some fun music, including a jug band. It was a great way to take advantage of this wonderful weather we are having.
