Summer 2011 Recap

I've decided that we've neglected this blog long enough.  Here's what you've missed this summer...

Block Party! - June 2011

As you may remember (2010 & 2009) we live on a block that has longest running block party in the city.  The day starts early with pony rides, continues through the day with hot dogs, kiddie swimming pools and a visit from the fire department, and ends with a potluck pig roast and DJ.  Eli always has a blast.


Graduation Day! - June 2011

All of the kids in Eli's class at daycare that were heading to a new school in the Fall were asked to participate in a graduation ceremony.  I managed to score a suit from a local consignment store (only $15!).  Eli learned a new song along with a new poem for the momentous occasion.  Here he is receiving his diploma and smiling with Daddy.



Eli's First Camping Trip - July 2011

In July we headed to Shenandoah National Park for our first family camping trip.  Camping with a three year old is not as relaxing as we had hoped.  Eli enjoyed the Ranger Hikes and managed to pick up 4 ticks.  Unfortunately the massive late night thunderstorms caused us to head out early the next morning.


Father's Day 2011

Eli picked out the Green Lantern PJs for Daddy on a recent trip to Target.  "Those are awesome!  We should get them for Daddy because we love him."


And that's what we were up to during June & July 2011.
