Thomas, tacos, and watermelon

He got a Thomas train set this weekend. I think his parents play with it more than he does, but it's still a lot of fun.



We plan to get some more to add on to his track, just not quite yet.

Then yesterday was taco night. He likes the tacos a lot.

Lettuce, however, is not meant to be eaten.

Watermelon is good food, though.

It's easier to eat when it's cut up a bit.

VBS Week

Elijah had lots of fun at his first Vacation Bible School this week. He got to ride in a wagon with the other kids.


Then, upstairs they played with bubbles.

Lots of fun was had.

He did some riding last weekend.

The truck's not ours, we just borrowed it.

Then he played a bit before we watched the fireworks.

Found himself a nice place to sit. Again, the chair isn't ours, either.

Then later he played with this whatever it is thing at the Amish market.

He got to meet the mascot at Chick-Fil-A, and the Orioles mascot. He enjoyed both.


That's it for now. We'll try to do something interesting this weekend.

He had a chance to play at the Toys R Us near home. He enjoyed moving the letters around, and his mom put his name on the board.

He also played with the huge, expensive train set they have up.

Later, he played at the Amish market on some of the wooden, um, toy things. You drop marbles, and they make noise.

Today we had one of the best sundaes I've ever tried. It has dark chocolate hot fudge. It's only found at Hershey.

The cow stayed behind.
He does enjoy his ice cream.

We also had our picture taken on the chocolate tour ride.

Much fun was had, and chocolate was eaten.

Swimming again

We found another park near us. They have some more swings for him to try out.

Then he went exploring, searching for something.

I'm not sure what he was looking for.


For Father's Day, we went swimming.

He's still not too sure about the whole water thing.

The float helps his confidence, though.


It's nice to just relax sometimes.

That's it for now, more to come!

His mom took him to look at the ducks last weekend.

Ducks are fun to look at.

They are also fun to follow.

His grandmother came to visit, and she bought him a new bear. He got to brush the bear's fur, too.


Then he went to the park and got to swing for a while.


There's other stuff to do at the park, but swings are better.

More ice cream, also.

Then some more swinging at the church picnic.

We got rained on, but he didn't care.


We really do give him healthful food, not just pretzels and ice cream.

Then he got his dad into a really huge swing.

A bit more swinging, then a nap on the way home.
