New place to play

Dad's biggest summer accomplishment was a new floor for the porch, along with a solid kickguard around the bottom to keep out dust and rain. These upgrades make the porch a much friendlier place for Eli. He also got a nice big dumptruck to roll around on it.

Eli also helps keep the new floor on the porch clean!

Seussland

On what I thought was the last daddy-day of the summer (long story, but I have got a few more) I took Eli to Universal. He'd been before with us, but before he could do anything more than sleep. This time, he got to enjoy a good bit of the Dr. Seuss section. We started on the Caraseussel.

One Fish, Two Fish was also fun. The first time Eli enjoyed the whole ride, but the second time he got sprayed pretty early and wanted to be "All Done".

We also got to play in New Zoo McGrew Zoo. This is Eli on the longcow. He prefered it more without me stepping away to take a picture.

There was some stuff for Eli outside of Seussland. He spent a little time playing on "Me Ship, the Olive".

Eli didn't get to ride the Trolley around Seussland. He was a little disappointed, but he got over it.

We left after lunch. Before I was outside of the Park Eli looked like this. He stayed that way all the way to the parking lot, during the ride home, and then finished his nap at home... I guess he got tired out with all of the excitement.

Playground with Liam

More pictures from July 4th weekend in Boca. These are from a playground near Grandpa's house.

Pajama Time

Liam spent the night and Grandpa's house when we were there, so the boys had some playtime in their Pajama's.

I could make up a story here, but it's pretty much just Eli holding a soccerball while the kid's stare at something.

This is from a different day, but is one of the many occurances of Liam hugging Eli. Liam is very affectionate. Eli cared more for the sharing of the firetruck.

4th of July - a little late

So, the 4th of July was a few weeks ago, and that's how far I am behind on the blog...

Eli got to go to a parade in Plantation with Aunt Jessi and Liam.

Afterwards, they got to play in Grandpa's new pool

Most of the time, though, Eli said "All done" whenever his feet touched the water. So, he spent a lot of the time mowing.
