Summer Fun- Part 2

by Holly

We took Eli to Mr. Gatti's to have pizza and play games the evening before he went camping with my family for 8 days. One last evening of fun with Mom and Dad. He loved it, but his favorite thing was to ride the motorcycle, which we do not put money in and he doesn't know the difference. So we left with nearly a full token card to use next time.

Picking peaches! We went to a peach orchard in July to pick peaches and we all had a good time. It was very hot, but it was an adventure and one of the rules was you could have for free as many peaches as you could eat while you were picking. We took full advantage! So good!

Eli inherited this car from cousins Jared and Tyler, and my brother loaded it in the back of our car with Eli still in it. He thought it was hilarious! I think its hilarious that he doesn't keep it in the backyard with his other riding toys, but insists it stay in the garage with Mom and Dad's cars. So cute.

Enjoying Bahama Bucks! Mama tries to order Eli light colors that will be less likely to stain his clothes but so far he hasn't been impressed. His favorite find has been Daddy's strawberry, so I guess I'll give in next time and let him order what he wants. Notice he has helped himself to all of our umbrellas!

Justin and I traveled to Palo Duro Canyon a couple of weeks ago to watch the musical drama TEXAS. It had been at least 10 years since either of us had seen it and it has changed so much. The things that matter though are still the same. We had a good time, but would have enjoyed a little breeze in the canyon that evening!

Glad you finally made it back to TEXAS, but I can't believe you took a picture with my least favorite cast member! The real Aunt Anna was so much better. :)

Jenise, these were the only characters left for pictures when I finally made it out of the bathroom, which was the REAL priority. :)

I love the picture of Eli in the car! And where was that peach orchard?
