Rainy Days and Field Trips
Field Trip #1
Andrew's Pre-K class took a field trip to Curran's Apple
Orchard on October 15, 2008. He loved every minute
of the trip, even if it was rainy. He didn't quit smiling the
entire time - even when I was taking his picture.
Enjoying the kiddie hay bale maze.
I wish so badly that I had thought to take video
of him feeding the goats. He LOVED it and
giggled the whole time. It was so cute.
Field Trip #2
On October 20th, our home school group went
on a field trip to hear a concert by the Rockford
Symphony Orchestra. It was titled "Musical
Postcards: Portraits of America" and featured
regional pieces from the West Coast across America
to the East Coast. It was a nice concert, made even
better by the fact that I knew someone in the orchestra.
Another rainy day! Fall has definitely arrived.

Ryan Turns Nine!
Ryan's Birthday: Part 1
The Lego Display opened at the Discovery Center on Saturday, October 11, 2008. Steven and Ryan have really been into Legos here lately, so I thought it would be a fun activity for Ryan's birthday. We invited Jillian and Auntie Lisa along - who better to come than your birthday pal?! The kids are posing in front of the models of famous buildings. This was one of the last pictures I took at the DC, and three of them had been playing at the outdoor water area, just in case you were wondering.
It was an absolutely gorgeous day!
When we arrived, each child was given a little
blue 1x1 Lego piece to add to the City of Tomorrow.

Ryan riding the stationary bike to generate electricity to power a light bulb.
Just a fun picture. There are so many cool photo opportunities at the DC!

Ryan requested chocolate cake with chocolate frosting
for his birthday treat for his family party.

Ryan's Birthday: Part 3
Ryan's actual ninth birthday - October 18, 2008
We celebrated at home after getting back from Jillian's big 4 year old party.
We had homemade pizza and leftover cupcakes from Jillian's party.
Ryan reacting to Dad singing happy birthday to "Ry-Ry!"
A nice smile - and if you look closely enough, you can see the pink Barbie
plate that the cupcakes came home on. Thanks for sharing, Auntie Lisa!

This is my scrapbook blog. It has been designed this way because our children grow so quickly, and we just want to be able to chronicle their changes. I am not a writer, so you will not find any profound writing pieces on this blog; but I do like to take pictures and share them with family and friends.
