Sheboygan, WI Blue Harbor Resort

We had the opportunity to go to the Blue Harbor Resort in Sheboygan, WI again. Scott had a conference at the resort, so Eli and I got to go and play at the water park for the week. The nice thing was Scott didn't have to do a lot of work, so he was able to join us quite a bit. Eli loved the water!!! It's only been about 2 months since we were there before, but you could sure see how Eli has grown. He seemed much more independent. My baby is growing up (too fast)!

A Visit from Nana, Aunt Kiki, Nate and Cousin Keaton

Nana, Aunt Kiki, Nate and Keaton arrived early Monday morning for a visit. We got to do many fun things with them this week. It was such a wonderful visit! Thanks for coming to see us. We love you!

Elkhart County 4-H Fair

On Sunday night we went to the Elkhart 4-H Fair with Grandma & Paw Paw. Eli loved petting the animals in the petting zoo. We found Ellie and Abby Hershberger and Eli was able to pet their cows, too. He enjoyed seeing all the tractors and even got to climb in one. After we ate the yummy fair food, Eli got to go on a pony ride. He laughed and laughed and did not want to get off. Can't wait to take him again this week.

Fun with Grandpa & Grandma Joey

Last Monday, Grandpa and Grandma Joey watched Eli for the day. While I spent time on Lake Wawasee with friends, Marcia & Tracie, Eli got to go to the park & beach. Eli loved playing in the sand and water. Grandpa took some cute pictures of him for me to share. Enjoy!

Bed Head

Just a few cute pictures of Eli this morning.

Eli's Swing Set

Grandpa and Grandma Joey bought Eli a swing set. It finally was delivered and put together yesterday. After waiting for 3 hours, Eli finally got to play on it. He loved it! He climbs up the stairs and goes down the slide by himself. He loves making car sounds as he turns the steering wheel. He even enjoyed the swings, glider and tire swing, but he had to be put on all of those. This is going to give Eli hours of outdoor fun! Can't wait to have friends over to play, too. Thank you Grandpa and Grandma Joey! We love you and appreciate the wonderful gift!

Wisconsin Water Park

Wow! I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted! So sorry!

In May we went on a trip to Wisconsin. Scott had to go for work, so we made a family trip out of it. We stayed at the Blue Harbor Resort close to Sheboygan. It was beautiful! The water park was so much fun! It was the biggest one I've ever seen, and it was extremely clean. Eli loved splashing in the water and going down the small slides. He never got tired of it! We will definitely return there someday.

Bike Riding

Last week we bought Eli a new bike. Kidder's recently got one for Grace, and when we saw it we knew it would be perfect for Eli, too. He loves being outside and riding. This bike is so cool because the adult can control the way it turns. Eli doesn't even have to peddle! He loves going out for bike rides and feeling like a big boy!

Playing in the Sprinklers

Monday afternoon, Uncle Casey & Uncle Shawn came over to play with Eli. Scott just finished mowing the lawn, so he wanted to turn on the sprinklers. Eli loves to play outside, and when he saw the sprinklers, he just couldn't resist. With the encouragement of his uncles he continued to run through them getting soaked. I had to take pictures. He was having a ball! As you can see, his shorts were a little big on him and ended up falling down. Hilarious!

Happy Birthday Brad & Sharyl!

On Saturday we joined the Smith family for a delicious dinner at Columbo's for Brad and Sharyl's birthday. Eli and Olivia loved sitting next to one another. They shared crackers and toys and actually played well together. After our dinner, Michelle pulled out a yummy cake. Olivia loved singing "Happy Birthday" to Brad and to her grandma Sharyl. Eli enjoyed the song, too, especially the clapping at the end. We had a great time being together! Thank you for the invite and hope to see you again soon! Wish we lived closer! Miss you!
