Family (& friends) Fun Day

The Oglebay Institute is celebrating their 80th anniversary, and Alexander was invited to their Cowboys & Indians birthday party!

The chilly wind couldn't keep our little scout inside the wigwam, he was ready for a Buffalo hunt! He made his own Native American headdress before mounting his lion & heading for the hills.

The little guy was SO cute, running all around the front lawn of the Stifle Arts Center with he new little friend, Nik.



After a few hot dogs (for daddy) & cookies for the babes, Alexander & Nik tried out a the Little Sprouts Music Together drumming demonstration. Unfortunately, the cookies made our little angel a little devilish; he was all hands & tears. The instructors were lovely; so nice & warm to all the little ones!

And the party wasn't just for Alexander; Papa got in on the fun too! The Oglebay Glass Museum
offered free glass blowing (molding) demonstrations last night & Papa made us this beautiful Purple & Gold paper weight.

There were a handful of free pottery classes that I was hoping to attend, but unfortunately, the baby went napless this afternoon, so escape was out of the question!

Seriously, the headdress is adorable! Tell Denis I am impressed the paper weight! Russell will be jealous. He likes the glass stuff. I think I'll just forget to mention and hope he doesn't check your blog.

Maybe we can catch up when you get back. We are off for Ella's 2 month check up (a little late but at least we made it before 3 months!) She is due for a million shots today. I'm sure it won't be pleasant for baby or Mommy!
