Trick or Treat

Daddy October 31st, 2007

With Mommy in Atlanta, I was forced to take Alex out to steal candy from people’s porches. Let’s just say that we could’ve used Mommy’s artistic talents on the make up.

We went over to Aunt Jill’s and Uncle Dennis’s house to trick-or-treat in their neighborhood, but to be truthful, Alex got most of his candy from his family members. That was nice though because it allowed Jill to take these cute pictures.

Alex did eventually make his way to a couple of the neighbors’ houses, but one of them thought he was a bunny. A bunny? I thought it was fairly obvious that he was a dog. Don’t you?

Happy Halloween!  We hope yours was fun and safe!

Take me out the ballgame

Daddy May 31st, 2007

On Saturday, after already going to the zoo for the first time earlier in the day, Alex got to go to his first Cincinnati Reds game at Great American Ball Park.  What an exciting day, huh?

Much to Daddy’s delight, Alex really seemed to enjoy the event.  There were lots of people for Alex to look at and try to talk to.  He even tried to take a drink of a beer that was being passed down the aisle from the vendor, and he would done it too if it hadn’t been for those meddling parents!  He dined on his first of what will likely be many ballpark hot dogs and even got to have a little taste of peanuts right out of the shell.

 

Unfortunately for the family, the Reds did not oblige us with a win - they rarely do anymore.  We weren’t able to stay for the whole game, and we missed the three home runs that the Reds hit in last 3 innings, but we still had a great time and Alex is already looking forward to his next outing to the park.

Going to the zoo, zoo, zoo!

We all went to the zoo today.  It was a beautiful morning and it was also the last weekend for Zoo Babies at the Cincinnati Zoo, so we felt like we better get there while the getting was good.  Alex really seemed to enjoy the time, though he seems more interested in human animals that the other kinds.

We’re trying a new way of doing pictures today as the old way was quite tedious.  If you see pictures that you like, you should be able to download them by following this link (http://picasaweb.google.com/jluckhau/ZooTrip?authkey=NA5xyUri91U):
