His grandmother came to visit him last weekend. She took him shopping, and he got to ride a horse.

Then they looked at pictures on her computer.

His dad got new shoes, and he wore them around the house.

He also used the computer a bit. We try to discourage that.

Bubbles. Not much else to say about them.


The stuff doesn't work when you spill it on the ground.

Then later we went swimming, and he even got out and kicked his feet a bit.


We don't have any pictures of him swimming because the camera would get wet. We still got plenty of pictures of him in the water, though.

Later he went shopping for books, and that was fun.

Vacation Fun

We got to visit family last weekend.

We all had fun. We got to see family we haven't seen for a while.

He got to see his aunt.

He got to see his grandpa.

He also played around a lot.

He and his cousin played with bubbles.


He played with some more cousins, too.


Then he put Woody on the slide. That is almost as much fun as getting on the slide himself.

Then some riding around on Spider Man.

He also got to sleep in a big-boy bed one night.

He played on a motorcycle arcade game.

Then, after a haircut,

He got to ride a real motorcycle.

Some day, I will have to explain that this thing is a pay phone, and why they are in public places:

In all, we had lots of fun seeing family and look forward to seeing them all again soon!

Birthday Party

He went to a birthday party this week. Not his, obviously, but it was still fun. There was a castle to play in and color:


There were gift bags to open:

There were balloons to look at (balloons not pictured):

It was a lot of fun!

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.
