Recent Fun

I have really gotten behind on posting pictures and recently we have had some very fun times. So, I'm playing catch-up from the last month. Here are a conglomerate of different pictures from different activities.

Elijah made this crown at church one evening and continues to wear it on occasion just to play around. That's my little prince!
Jerod continues to play the violin and now Elijah will take different objects and pretend to also play the violin. Here he has two of his toothbrushes as a violin and bow.
We've been playing so hard that one day he just fell asleep on the couch while playing (he was playing with daddy with whom he plays extra hard ;-)

Can't believe he was actually able to fall asleep in this position!

Elijah has recently gotten into Legos an building things. Here was the first thing he built on his own without any guidance or suggestions. It's a flower garden.
Here he is playing with his tent and tunnel. One day out of the blue he came to me and said he had a dinner he made for me and that I should come eat it with him in his tent - so cute!

He looks like he's coming out of one of those smoke stacks on a ship

Mad Science Experiments! - Elijah has really gotten involved in my job with Mad Science and loves to do experiments with mommy. Today we talked about polymers and how acetone can break down Styrofoam. Of course for him is was mostly "look at those cool spider web-type things."
This experiment had to be done in the bathroom where it was dark because we mixed two chemicals together that turned a bright blue color.
Happy Hollow! - This year we decided to get a season pass because it pays for itself after the 3rd visit and it is so close I figured it would be a good activity to do year long. So far he LOVES it.

Enjoying the carousel at Happy Hollow with friends Fia and Evelyn

Feeding the goats

Petting the bunny

Riding the car with Evelyn - she is so sweet to let Elijah do the driving ;-)

The swings were a big hit

Having so much fun with his friend Evelyn

Climbing a huge rock by himself

King of the mountain!

I think we went on the carousel ride 4 or 5 times this day

Each time we tried out a new animal ;-)

Hugging Evelyn (I love Elijah's sweet nature and how he loves to hug people)

First time on a ride that goes up high - he was excited at first but not so sure after the ride got started.
At the top, enjoying the view before the ride went down and things started to feel funny (I don't think he's used to the drop in his stomach when you go down things quickly)

What a cute pair
