Alex's Visit!

Last week Alex stayed with us for a few days. Rick still had to work during the day so Alex and I kept very busy. We had such a great time with him and can't wait until we see him again.

I took Alex to my school to play on the playground! He had a lot of fun!

Next, we went to the Yorktown Mall and rode the train! Alex loved the "Choo-Choo"

We had lunch with Uncle Ricky and then we went to a pool in Aurora. Alex was hesitant of the water at first but then had no problems at all. He was so happy in the pool!

After a while he wanted ice cream. He had a firecracker popsicle and SO much ended up on him. I planned for us to go swimming to get it off when he was done, but a storm rolled in and we had to leave. We had to clean up in the shower which wasn't nearly as easy, but we managed.

We started driving back but it wasn't time to pick up Rick yet. Since the rain had stopped we made a pit stop at the Outlet mall. Alex was getting tired but he wanted to ride the quarter rides each time we passed them. Here are some of the pictures!

Later that day Alex went with me to tutor Michael. Rick played with the little boys while I worked with Michael. Neno and Michael ate Macaroni and Cheese and of course popsicles!

Michael!

When we got home from our long day it was shower time--a second attempt at cleaning his dirty popsicle face!

Friday Alex and I went to a park to play with Gianna, Dominic, and Shor! We had so much fun! Alex ate a lollipop and then we went to McDonalds!

Gianna!

Our time together wrapped up with Rick's family coming over for dinner. Alex loved "O Joyce" and of course "Pa-Tough Guy"

Alex tried stealing a lot of things from our house and put them in his backpack. He isn't very sly about it though. Here he is stealing our Ball State coasters!
