Halloween

Alek was creeped out by the pumpkin "guts"
We took him trunk or tricking at the church. He had so much fun! He was suprisingly polite the whole time, minus when the other children took to long to get their treats and move to the next car. He put his club lightly on their backs and forced them forward to the next car. The whole week after he went around saying picture treat knocking on all the doors in the apartment.

Airplanes

Knowing that we weren't going to be here along we have tried to squeeze in as many adventures as possible. At an airport in Norman Oklahoma we were able to get up close look at several airplane and helicopters. Both Brian and Alek we crazy, and realized how much I miss flying in the small airplanes.

Alek is obsessed with golf. Our apartment overlooks
the golf course and he sits in the window watching the
players. Everyday the say question "Play golf wid me?"
He will skip meals to play. He eats and sleeps golf!

The short bus

Alek has always had a unhealthy obsession with buses. The other day we saw a short bus drive by. He was thrilled screaming see the bus daddy? Mommy see the bus? I replied Yes honey, that is the short bus. Since then he has been telling us he wants to ride short bus at least 20 times a day! Somehow it is better then a regular school bus!

The Zoo

Today is cold cloudy with a slight drizzle of rain. With that in mind even we decided the zoo would be fairly empty. It was great we all put on our jackets and headed out. As we perdicted the zoo was empty. We didn't have to wait to see any of the exhibits and the animals we more active then I have ever seen. Brian really enjoyed the grizzly bear. I couldn't believe how big it's head was! He walked down to the river in his exhibit and tried to pull a small log or large stick out of the water. After not succeeding he went in for a swim and then out of no where attacked the log! It was exciting to him so active! There were so many animals there and they were all visible to the eye! It sure was fun. Alek not only enjoyed the animals but he smiled and yelled hi people to everyone who walked past us. It is something we will do again! I am no longer against zoo days in the fall

Science Museum

Saturday we decided to get out of the house and went to the museum. It was enjoyable to the whole family. Alek couldn't contain his excitement as we were walking in he yelled Yeah and about scared a middle aged woman to death. We took him to the starlight show that capture his interests for sometime until he had the sudden urge to use the bathroom and let everyone know that he needed to. We played boats in a wooden box full of water. That was cut short when Alek filled his boat with water and "bombed" and hit a unsuspecting little kid. They had plenty on hands on experiments that engaged both Alek and Dad's interest. I am not sure who was having more fun. We spent more time there then I would have thought possible. Brian got lost and I had to ask a guy twice my size in height to check the bathrooms all the while a tired Alek was screaming because he was worn out and Mom took the stroller away because he kept saying crash into people and trying to mow them down. All in all Brian wasn't in the water closet and we eventually found him. They also had a giant tree house about 700-1000 feet high with a slide that was just as long. Alek went down twice and the second time stare death in the face when a rolly polly girl clobbered him half way down the slide. She just couldn't wait until he was at the bottom before she decide to let her weight take her 100 mph down the slide. (Clearly I am bitter still because I told her he was on there more then 5 times and she looked at me but went anyway) Alek got over fast when he saw the hot air balloon. That was one of hid favorites. You pushed a button and fire would turn on and the balloon would float up to the ceiling. He had shrills of delight! It was fun to see my "two" kids have so much fun!
