Thanksgiving (Part 4) Random Detroit

So for more random Detroit....

This is the GM Towers, where most of their corporate office are located.

 We got to stop by Uncle John's shop to see where he worked.  This is a robot that he has worked on used to put roofs on SUV's.

I always like to visit pro sports arena when we have the chance...  Here is Joe Louis Arena, home of the Detroit Red Wings.

 Here is a picture of Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions.  Just happens that the pregame show was going on as we drove by during this picture.  The game had started before we left the downtown area on Thursday.

ANOTHER sweet hook up...  Jonny took us to an Ontario Hockey League game.  It was the Plymouth Whalers hosting the Kingston Frontenacs. He was working, watching a few of the players closely.  Isaac got a copy of the scouting report, all the player stats, etc.  AND, Jonny had written who was already drafted by the NHL and by which team.  There were about 15 or so players that night that have been drafted and are working toward NHL ice time.  We had a blast.  Thanks Jonny B...!!
 There was triple baby shower on Saturday.  Lexy was invited... She was super excited to go.  Picked out some nice little presents, dressed up, and even let me do her hair how I wanted to.  So, french twisted sides into a messy bun with the sparkly net running vertical.  I for one think it's quite cute.
 There's Lexy and Natasha at the party, and Aunt Jean who threw the party working away...

 8 Mile road is kind of a famous area of Detroit, so it was fun to see the signs all the time.

On that same token... How often do you see an Alexis Road... :D
We drove over with Jim and Josh to a REAL hockey store...  We found a Perani's Hockey World store not too far from Aunt Jean's house.  It was like heaven on earth for Isaac.  There must have been 1,000 sticks in that place.  Super cool...
