Audrey the Ninja

Audrey attended a Halloween Bash today, and she enjoyed it thoroughly. What was her costume? A princess? Nope. A bumblebee? Sorry. Hannah Montana? Nyet.

Audrey is a Ninja for Halloween. An awesome Ninja. Here are some photos of Audrey today.

Audrey At Meijer Gardens

Who knew Grand Rapids had such a great place for both kids and parents to spend an awesome fall day outside? Team Thurston loaded up in the Family Truckster and did some exploring in our own back yard recently when we visited Meijer Gardens. We've lived in the Grand Rapids area for five years, and never made the trip until now.

This place has a fantastic kid's area to explore, play and learn about nature. In addition, the sculpture park has some of the finest pieces of large art in the world. The entire time we spent there, we kept saying how amazing it is to have something so culturally important at our doorstep.

Here are some of the photos of our trip:

Time for a change

Yeah, I know my folks are slackers and have not updated my Bloggy-Blog in a while. So, if you want something done right - do it your dang self.

I sent Dad to the Kent County Democratic Headquarter today to score an Obama/Biden lawn sign. We are surrounded by right-wing Christian conservatives on the West side of Michigan, and it's time to show that there is a dissenting vote here in Ada. Sorry, John and Dick (DeVos).
